This book deals with the elemental and basic concepts of PR and new media. Good for those who are unfamiliar with the subject.

Our course combines PR, Advertising and Marketing techniques, so this will not become a core text. However, it does offer some refreshing critical perspectives on digital PR activity and considers issues such as the embodiment of PR professionals, which is useful to students.
