Public Relations and Strategic Communication provides a comprehensive introduction into public relations and the building blocks of strategic communication that support its practice. It questions conventional methods and approaches public relations as a media-centered, people-focused, transcultural, and transnational effort, integrating traditional and social media throughout.

This text explores the theories of public relations and asks students to apply them to real and contemporary scenarios so they can experience how the theories will function in real life. These practical elements will prompt students to take a proactive approach to their studies, providing a real understanding of what it is like to work in the industry.

Includes case studies, critical reflection questions, and multiple choice questions that highlight the application of theory to practice, encouraging students to test and assess their understanding
Emphasises campaign management and PR planning and strategy throughout to prepare students for further study, and to provide them with the foundations to be a successful PR practitioner
Provides industry insights through practitioner interviews that offer helpful advice about preparing for a career in PR
Includes tables and flowcharts to help students visualise concepts such as PR hierarchy and organisational structure
Takes a global approach, drawing on a variety of local and international examples, cases and stories, with a focus on the Australian region
Approaches public relations from a media-centred, people-focused, transcultural, and transnational perspective
