Pendekatan Critical Public Relation, Etnografi Kritis & Kualitatif
Buku ini merupakan referensi untuk kajian Ilmu Public Relations yang menawarkan solusi penerapan pendekatan kritis bagi pemecahan permasalahan Public relations, antara lain melalui riset.

Praktisi Public relations dituntut mengumpulkan fakta-fakta untuk digunakan sebagai pertimbangan memulai aktivitasnya. Selanjutnya, public relations dapat melakukan riset untuk memonitor program-program yang sedang berlangsung dan untuk mengevaluasi apakah sudah diimplementasikan dengan baik atau tidak. Salah satu formula yang populer dalam bidang Public relations yaitu RACE, singkatan dari Research, Action Plan, Communication, and Evaluation. Meski demikian, saya menemukan di lapangan bahwa aplikasi riset masih jarang dilakukan oleh Public relations saat ini. Buku persembahan penerbit Prenada Media Group.
