The first chapter succinctly summarizes most of what you you could want to know about PR. The rest of the book I found to be either fluff or sheer technical necessity (as in how to do the calendar / budget).
This book was the perfect refresher course on developing strategic communications plans. All communications professionals would benefit from reading this book. I feel more confident in the way I approach communications in my work!
(Note that I read the old version that did not have much on social media. It is my one regret with the book. But I couldn't bring myself to pay $120 for the most recent version! But from what I've been told, everything else is pretty similar).
Public Relations portion of marketing is not for me. Thank God I can now concentrate on portions of my class that I find to be more to what I am looking for.
