This book seeks to explore the changing profession of PR by illustrating the past and present perspective of PR practice in some European countries, discussing professionalization of PR together with new dilemmas, notions, concepts, and perspectives, and focusing on the usage, effect and institutionalization of new media and new digital PR tools.
This book aspires to make an expedient contribution to the trust-based body of knowledge. Various disciplines analyze the notion of „trust“, by addressing it from their own perspectives. The fact that the importance of multilevel and cross-level perspectives is gaining increasing attention in communication management has led to a call for examining trust across levels of communication analysis. The authors approach trust from the standpoint of different sub-branches of communication discipline, including brand management, public relations research, comparative advertising, health communication, political communication and digital communication. In addition, this book provides empirical evidence from a wide range of cases in Turkey, seeking to both reveal the existing situation in details and open up a world of new questions and lines of enquiry to pursue for future research.
