Rezensionen

"In her ambitiously comprehensive, deeply researched, gracefully written, socio-cultural scholarly tour-de-force, Professor Fawkes expands the aperture of public relations, while offering a compelling critique of the concept and the practice. What comes into focus is much that has been obscured by PR's traditional managerial perspective. Her achievement is to give us a long and deep look at ways of conceptualizing PR beyond the limitations of the older model without throwing out the communication-management baby with the socio-cultural bathwater. Fawkes's insights are likely to resonate with PR and other disciplinary scholars, teachers and students as well as thoughtful practitioners of the persuasive industries. As a critical scholar, Fawkes has not neglected a certain 'inwardness' in PR, which identifies, in a minor key, the field's increasingly intentional, aspirational and redemptive humanism."

Robert E. Brown (PhD), Emeritus Professor of Media and Communication, Salem State University and Affiliated Faculty, Communication Studies, Emerson College.

"You'd expect sophisticated thinking from a scholar - depth is a given. But I'm most struck by the admirable breadth of the author's analysis. In short, there is no single volume that better summarises and categorises decades of public relations scholarship. That alone makes this book a must-read for public relations educators, advanced students and curious professionals."

Richard Bailey, Senior Lecturer in Public Relations at Leeds Beckett University and editor of PR Place Insights.



"Depth Public Relations is an ambitious and highly original book. Johanna Fawkes shares insights from a career as a public relations academic, practitioner, and teacher. It presents the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary public relations practice from a critical research perspective. It's unusually readable for an academic book that will appeal to anyone working in public relations. Fawkes is herself an excellent public relations practitioner."

Stephen Waddington, Managing Partner, Wadds Inc., Visiting Professor, Newcastle University, PhD Student, Leeds Business School

"It is not easy for a book to hit the nail on the head. And even more so if it is a text about a discipline and a profession about which many people think that everything has already been said. This occurs with the book by Johanna Fawkes, whose great merit is having offered an approach to public relations that combines references to the transforming processes of professional practice with others to theoretical frameworks little explored until now, such as the one to ideas from Jung. Fawkes deals with issues that seem very evident to the reader, but, at the same time, the reader wonders why nobody had said it until now. The outcome is an exciting theoretical and practical update of the public relations body of knowledge based on its main feature: interdisciplinarity. Indeed, this book shows how necessary interdisciplinarity and a 360 degrees' approach is necessary for critical public relations scholars."

Jordi Xifra, Full Professor, Catedrático de Universidad, Department of Communication, Spain

"In "Depth Public Relations" Dr. Fawkes continues her quest into the shadowy side of public relations with Jung by her side. The book is a passionate call for change and cements the impression of Dr. Fawkes as one of the most original thinkers in the field of public relations."

Øyvind Ihlen, Professor in the Department of Media and Communication at the Universtiy of Oslo and Adjunct Professor at Nord University, Norway.
