This course turns a critical and analytical eye to public relations, recognizing the role PR practitioners play in creating, shaping and disseminating information. It offers practical strategies to deal with public relations claims and releases but also explores the ways such information affects a society not widely schooled in the techniques and goals of PR practitioners.
