Book Review<\/b><\/p>\n

Public Relations is a multi-disciplinary function that is rapidly evolving and its importance is growing each day in all social, economic, and political spheres. Based on his experience of over four decades of practicing and teaching public relations, the author through this book tries to aid the dearth of trained PR professionals and promote public relations literature in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The book is divided into four major parts:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Participative management:<\/b> The book starts off with the author defining what management is what makes a successful PR manager. The author says, \u201cGood Managers are not born, they are made. They are fashioned by the experience of business, education, training and realities of the workplace.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Public relations practice in India:<\/b> This part gives a comprehensive understanding of the public relations profession and how the industry functions. The author also addresses misconceptions about the line of work that distinguishes qualities of good and bad PR professionals. The chapter provides a set of guidelines to bear in mind and ten commandments of a PR Campaign.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Attributes of a good PR manager:<\/b> This portion of the book talks in detail about the role and attributes of a PR manager. The author states and explains eight attributes that make a good PR manager: the four <\/span>A<\/b>s (Analyst, Advisor, Advocate, Antenna), and four <\/span>P<\/b>s (Personal characteristics, Professional qualifications, Professional skills, and Psychological mind). Dr. Reddi also states the four Don\u2019ts of a PR manager. Towards the end there is a case study and ten golden guidelines for PR Writing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Great PR professionals:<\/b> This chapter is dedicated to some of the best PR veterans from India and the US, such as Edward Bernays, Ivy Lee, John Will, Sanat Lahiri and Farrok. S. Mulla, who have made their legacy in this line of profession.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The book is written in a language so simple, its words stick with the reader. It serves as a comprehensive guide to any person wanting to understand the ABCs of public relations and is also helpful to students budding into this profession and aspiring to become successful PR managers in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
