Co-Authors and Contributors

The two co-authors shared overall responsibility for the entire book, including recruiting the other contributors and dealing with the editorial staff at the publisher, London-based Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group.

Co-author John Doorley wrote the chapters on Reputation Management, Media Relations, and Community Relations.  John  joined the new London-based company Mindful Reputation in 2014 after almost 10 years at New York University as founding academic director and clinical assistant professor of the Master of Science Degree Program in Public Relations & Corporate Communication.  Under his leadership the NYU program became the world’s largest graduate program in its field and the one named America’s Best Public Relations Education Program in 2009 and 2010. Before joining NYU he was a full-time faculty member in the School of Communication at Rutgers University.  Previously, until 2000, John was head of corporate communication at Merck & Co., Inc., which was named America’s Most Admired Company seven of his 12 years there (Annual Fortune Magazine survey).  He is the co-author with Fraser Seitel of Rethinking Reputation: How PR Trumps Marketing and Advertising in the New Media World.

Co-author Helio Fred Garcia wrote the chapters on Ethics, Investor Relations (with Gene Donati) Issues Management, Crisis Communication, and Challenges Facing the Profession.  He is the president of Logos Consulting Group.  He is also author of The Power of Communication: Skills to Build Trust, Inspire Loyalty, and Lead Effectively (FT Press, 2012) and Crisis Communications, AAAA Press, 1998.

 About the Third Edition

The third edition was based on a thorough peer review of the second edition by industry experts and academics.  Each of the third edition’s chapters was further peer reviewed.  Among the changes in the third edition are:

 

• The Global Communication chapter that was in the first and second editions has been removed, and global content has been included throughout the book.  Additional case studies and examples with an international focus have been added.
• The social media chapter has been revised to be less introductory, and social media examples are included throughout the book.
• Opening vignettes, examples, and case studies have been updated in each chapter.
