Exploring Public Relations

I have worked with Exploring Public Relations since it was first published. It provides a complete in-depth and up-to-date overview of the professional domain of communication practitioners. An easy read, with thought-provoking case studies and ample opportunity for reflection and further study, in - and outside the classroom,

this book is a real find, for students and lecturers alike. Thank you, Ralph Tench and Liz Yeomans.

The authors draw on a wealth of research and industry experience to provide a practically focused, theoretically based text that's very accessible for undergraduate and master's students. Students like the book's readability; I like it for its style and comprehensiveness.

This third edition of Exploring Public Relations includes new material and chapters that reinforce its international appeal. It also includes contributions from international academics and specialists that make an already fine textbook easier to adopt outside the UK. It is refreshingly open minded, not shying away from controversies in or outside the field. As such, it has established itself as the preferred public relations and communications textbook if none exist in your own language.

As a practitioner I have found this book, in its accessible format and with its plain language, a frequent source of inspiration and challenge. The smart use of case studies and clear explanations of core communications theory will often help unlock day-to-day working problems. It's an essential addition to the office bookshelf.
