The SAGE Handbook of Public Relations

Reflecting advances in theory research and application in the discipline since the publication of the <i>Handbook of Public Relations</i> in 2001 this new volume is global in scope and unmatched in its coverage of both academic research and professional best practice. It presents major theories in the words of the leading advocates for each theory; positions public relations as a positive force to help make society more fully functional; and challenges academics and practitioners to identify best practices that can inform the work of those in the profession.
