1980-date | |
(or, via Sage eReference if you are off campus.) |
2004 | "Some may wonder why public relations is a deserving topic for the extensive analysis it receives in this encyclopedia. After all, many might think, it is “just PR.” ...Public relations does not slink into the corner because it is dismissed. It is there to be seen and to exert influence. Thus, engaged and thoughtful analysis of the profession may be required before a final opinion is formed on the ethics and societal role of the practice....The Encyclopedia of Public Relations may serve some as a primer. Others may find refreshing or even disappointing comments and concerns. However, we hope the book advances the dialogue that can make the profession ever more healthy." [caaiac] |
