Overview
Along with business—and the rest of the world—public
relations has changed in the digital age.
Foreword by Maria Bartiromo
Public relations was among the first industries to harness the power of
the Internet. As a medium for corporate communications, branding,
product information, and more, the Web's value was readily apparent. But
the Internet is a
double-edged sword whose perils are every bit as important to control.

• And more.
Designed for daily use in a changed and changing world, The AMA
