Access all areas : a backstage pass through 50 years of music and culture
First as a journalist and then a publicist at Warner Brothers Records for nearly twenty years, Barbara Charone has experienced, first-hand, the changes in the cultural landscape. Access All Areas is a personal, insightful and humorous memoir packed with stories of being on the cultural frontline, from first writing press releases on a typewriter driven by Tip Ex, then as a press officer for heavy metal bands taking the bus up to Donnington Festival with coffee, croissants and the much more popular sulfate. To taking on Madonna, an unknown girl from Detroit, and telling Smash Hits 'you don't have to run the piece if the single doesn't chart', and becoming a true pioneer in music, Charone continues to work with the biggest names in music, including Depeche Mode, Robert Plant, Foo Fighters and Mark Ronson at her agency MBCPR. The story of how a music-loving, budding journalist from a Chicago suburb became the defining music publicist of her generation, Access All Areas is a time capsule of the last fifty years, told through the lens of music.

Le temps des relations publiques
La nécessité pour les organisations de définir des terrains d’entente avec les groupes, les organismes et les individus qui peuplent leur environnement est aujourd’hui devenue très évidente. Ce domaine d’expertise est celui des relations publiques. Le présent essai est le premier qui, en français, fait le pont entre les prescriptions de la théorie et les réalités de la pratique en relations publiques. Il jette les bases d’une vision – voire d’une philosophie – moderne de cette sphère. L’auteur explore la définition même des relations publiques, énumère les types de pratiques dans ce champ et la relation ambiguë qu’il entretient avec le marketing. À partir d’un portrait de l’évolution de l’importance des relations publiques depuis un siècle, puis des obligations éthiques et professionnelles inhérentes à cette profession en émergence, il soutient qu’il n’existe pas de relations publiques efficaces qui ne soient éthiques. La dernière partie de ce livre se penche sur la relation aussi essentielle que difficile entre les relationnistes et les journalistes. L’auteur conclut avec un appel aux relationnistes afin qu’ils prennent leur place dans un contexte où les relations publiques sont plus nécessaires que jamais. Cet ouvrage saura intéresser les relationnistes, les universitaires et les étudiants de toute la francophonie. Au fil de quelque 40 années de pratique, Guy Versailles, ARP, FSCRP, a développé une expertise en stratégie et planification des relations publiques et des communications. Il a travaillé comme secrétaire de presse et chef de cabinet pour différents ministres du gouvernement du Québec, a été responsable des relations de presse et de la gestion des communications de crise à Hydro-Québec, de même que vice-président Affaires publiques et membre du comité de direction au Fonds de solidarité FTQ. Il a également été président du conseil d’administration de Relations publiques sans frontières. Il agit actuellement à titre de consultant. En 2011, il a reçu le prix Yves Saint-Amant, la plus haute distinction décernée par la Société québécoise des professionnels en relations publiques.

Homefront 911 : how families of veterans are wounded by our wars /
\"The hallmarks of America's War on Terror have been repeated long deployments and a high percentage of troops returning with psychological problems. Family members of combat veterans are at a higher risk of potentially lethal domestic violence than almost any other demographic; it's estimated that one in four children of active-duty service members have symptoms of depression; and nearly one million veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan require increased care due to physical or psychological trauma. But, despite these staggering trends, civilian America has not been mobilized to take care of the families left behind; the American homefront, which traditionally has been rallied to support the nation's war efforts, has disappeared. In Homefront 911 Stacy Bannerman, a nationally-recognized advocate for military families, provides an insider's view of how more than a decade of war has contributed to the emerging crisis we are experiencing in today's military and veteran families as they battle with overwhelmed VA offices, a public they feel doesn't understand their sacrifices, and a nation that still isn't fully prepared to help those who have given so much. Bannerman, whose husband served in Iraq, describes how extended deployments cause cumulative, long-lasting strain on families who may not see their parent, child, or spouse for months on end. She goes on to share the tools she and others have found to begin to heal their families, and advocates policies for advancing programs, services, and civilian support, all to help repair the broken agreement that the nation will care for its returning soldiers and their families\"-- Provided by publisher.

The new era of the CCO
The role of the Chief Communication Officer (CCO) in today's enterprise has dramatically changed over the past 30 years. Once focused on getting news out to media outlets, today's CCO has become an integral part of any enterprise--company, corporation, governmental, and nongovernmental entity. Today's CCO is responsible for internal and external communication, with creating and implementing communication strategies that help mold enterprise mission, vision, value, and character, and with building enterprise reputation through stakeholder engagement. As a part of the \"C-Suite,\" the CCO must understand not only the psychology and sociology of the business, but also the role that she has in informing the C-Suite and the Chief Executive Officer what internal and external stakeholders are thinking and how this may affect corporate image in terms of credibility, confidence, trust, relationship, and reputation. In short, the new CCO must understand both the science and the art of communication and apply that knowledge to advancing her enterprise's goals and objectives through a faster and ever-larger-reaching set of media.

From Page to Practice: Communication Theory and Its Value for Public Relations Educators and Practitioners
A robust scholarly discussion had been conducted for more than 30 years on the professional impact of theory on communication practice, including Vocate's important observation in 1997 that a rigorous education in theory creates \"learnable intelligence\" in professional communicators. However, the question of the actual professional impact of studying communication theory has not been asked of those best positioned to judge—communication practitioners who have rigorously studied communication theory. This research attempts to determine whether learning theory actually has affected practice among communication professionals who have explicitly studied theory in pursuit of a master's degree in professional communication. As well, this research examines a linked issue in Canada—whether theory is being taught in practical post-secondary public relations programs. Following the latter question this research examines a pedagogical approach at the community college level towards teaching theory relevant to a professional setting. Finally, it examines the link between communication theory and the evolution of the critical communication professional. Key words: theory, theory-praxis, learnable intelligence, critical professional, practical pedagogy
