PR Principles - Digital Textbook

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Be able to explain the importance of diversity and inclusion in all facets of public relations.
Identify the duties and ethical responsibilities of a public relations professional.
Demonstrate how to combine theory with the practice of public relations to formulate effective strategies and deliver measurable results.
Show how the PR industry developed over time and provide ideas for where it will be in the future.

I highly recommend “PR Principles” by Ward and Agozzino. It is designed with today’s college student in mind by clearly and concisely providing all the public relations basics with abundant contemporary examples. For instance, the chapter on ethics outlines the various ethical issues confronting today’s public relations professionals and illustrates each with discussion of recent cases with which students may be familiar. The text also nicely covers how the industry is changing, including the growth of integrated marketing communications and current trends in social media. "PR Principles” can easily stand alone for students who might not take another public relations class, but it also builds a strong foundation for subsequent coursework in the discipline.

Focus on the RPIE Model and Diversity

PR Principles uses the RPIE (Research, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation) to give students a more working knowledge of public relations. Students review current case studies and examples, while also practicing PR skills themselves. What’s more PR Principles is designed to work in tandem with the Mimic Public Relations simulation for additional skill mastery.

In each chapter, PR Principles has a section called “Diverse Voices” to shine a spotlight on the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives, conversations, and campaigns within the industry.
