Where the truth lies : trust and morality in the business of PR, journalism and communications

Summary: "This anthology examines the relationship between journalism and PR and asks whether the public can ever get close to the truth through the media. In a series of wide-ranging essays about public relations and journalism, Where the Truth Lies tackles head-on issues as diverse as the public role of PR, the reportage of crises and the role of 'new' media. It also includes Julia Hobsbawm's four point plan to remake the relationship between PR and journalism." --publisher
