PR in the US

Choose one country, other than United Arab Emirates, and discuss how that country’s
culture (including its history) has impacted on the practice of public relations and
communication within it. You may also wish to focus on a particular case study within that
country or on one area of public relations, such as sports, health, indigenous affairs,
entertainment, Government or not-for-profit, media relations or social media management,
or write more broadly on the topic.
You must draw on the unit readings and materials in your response and use APA or
Chicago citation style (see http://libguides.murdoch.edu.au).
