Exploring Public Relations is the definitive academic text on Public Relations. This second edition continues to provide a critical analysis of the subject and a sophisticated blend of theory with real life, and includes many case studies, activity exercises, discussion questions and full colour photographs to illustrate the discussions in the text.
The book explores the deep connections between public relations and neoliberal market economies, highlighting its significant role in shaping promotional culture. It delves into under-researched areas of the profession, particularly the effects on workers who craft emotional displays to foster trust and manage client relationships. Through this lens, it examines the complexities and implications of emotional labor within the public relations field.
