Book SynopsisTar Wars offers a critical inside look at how leading image-makers negotiate escalating tensions between continuous economic growth mandated by a globalized economic system and its unsustainable environmental costs. As place branding assumes paramount importance in an increasingly global, visual, and ecologically conscious society, an international battle unfolds over Alberta’s bituminous sands. This battle pits independent documentary filmmakers against professional communicators employed by government and the oil industry. Tar Wars engages scholars and students in communications, film, environmental studies, social psychology, PR, media and cultural studies, and petrocultures. This book also speaks to decision makers, activists, and citizens exploring intersections of energy, environment, culture, politics, economy, media and power.Trade Review"Alberta for generations was famous for mountains, rodeos, Mormonism, football, Ukrainian culture, meatpacking and Social Credit. Say 'Alberta' today and any focus group replies, 'oil'. That’s no accident, writes Prof. Geo Takach of Royal Roads University. From the 1947 oil strike at Leduc Number One, 'resource extraction became heroic'. Alberta’s very identity was intertwined with oil sands production, for better and worse. Tar Wars documents this modern cultural phenomenon... [and] ... covers all angles. … The search is compelling and clever." -- Holly Doan * Blacklock's Reporter *"In his extensively researched and politically provocative new book, Tar Wars, award-winning author Geo Takach...offers attentive citizens, policy wonks and communications pros a solid 'case study in environmental communication.'" -- Rob Norris * Alberta Views *"... [Takach's] purpose: to depolarize and ultimately enable debate of the bit-sands and their role in defining Alberta... Tar Wars highlights two points that are seldom part of the discussion. The first is that while the antagonistic 'Alberta is energy' approach originated with industry and political leaders, the polarizing rhetoric does not represent the views of all or even the majority of Alberta residents. The second is that polarized debate limits meaningful dialogue and political engagement... Underlying is Takach’s message that we must refuse to fall into easy stereotypes of any region, including the one we live in." [Full review at https://bcbooklook.com/2017/09/29/174-lights-camera-action-debate/] -- Nichole Dusyk * BC BookLook *"This book is relevant to scholars in communication studies, specifically those with a focus on environmental communication and activism, as well as those in strategic communication, specifically PR, marketing, and branding, and obviously those in the fields of journalism and film."

Book SynopsisThe current century has witnessed a tremendous spurt in media and technology, thus making the job of a PR practitioner more challenging, but at the same time interesting. Constant media exposure on matters -- social, economic political and corporate -- has resulted in people demanding more accountability from those who govern them and also those in the marketplace. The new age media has brought about a paradigm shift on the power of the pen. Is it the mainstream media or the citizen journalists and bloggers, who spare no time in expressing their views on everything under the sun? And this has made a definite difference to organisations, who have to be much more vigilant than before. Public Relations has come centre stage in lending advise on areas that did not traditionally fall in its purview, especially in care management, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Those who study and practice PR have to understand the dynamics of the changing media matrix and acquire skills on how to handle various media. It is hoped, the book will provide many new insights and hands-on-skills to both the students and young practitioners in pursuing their jobs more efficiently and vigorously.

I highly recommend it to anyone studying corporate communication. * Jonathan Clifton, Université de Valenciennes, France *This is a vital resource book for anyone studying or teaching business communication. There is so often a gap between sensing how language works in real business contexts, and knowing how to analyse it with a view to meeting the discursive challenges of the business world. The case studies and 'over to you' sections bring the theory to life and help readers to build connections with their own experience. * Ruth Breeze, Universidad de Navarra, Spain *A richly exemplified, comprehensive, and much-needed linguistic introduction to business and corporate communication by two leading experts in the field. Highly accessible and engagingly written, it invites readers to join the authors in the joint exploration of the topic at hand. * Zsofia Demjen, University College London, UK *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis is a media writing guide for PR people. The media use one per cent of the material PR people send them. What can we do to increase the hit-rate of the stories we write on behalf of our clients or employers? We need to know exactly what the media want and what they don't want. We should be able to write material according to the rules and conventions which the media themselves observe. We ought to know how to compose, present and lay out stories in a manner which saves the media time and earns their approval. We can enhance our pick-up if we know how to produce good media photography, video and infographics. We must know how to pitch a story professionally. This Guide is an A to Z of media writing for anyone working in PR who wants to get better results.Trade Review‘At a time when journalists are becoming fewer in number, are being asked to do more and are under huge pressure to produce it faster, it is more important than ever for PR specialists to be able to write media material that journalists can work with. Long-time PR executive and doyen of the UK’s PR industry Adrian Wheeler leads by example, producing a well-written and highly engaging book that lays out the case for better writing in media material, and then in a clear, informative, entertaining and often witty way, sets about teaching the reader how best to achieve it.’ -- Nicholas Watson, former FT correspondent in Central & Eastern Europe and founder of 'Business New Europe'‘This is a witty, simple-to-follow must-read for everyone with an interest in our industry - whether they are keen to grasp the basics or veteran communicators. The book provides valuable insights into the formulation of media copy and the techniques of good media writing. The author both inspires readers and challenges them to think and communicate differently.’ -- Souha Khairallah MPRCA, Talent and Professional Development Director, PRCA - London‘There’s no shortage of “how to write” advice out there, and Amazon is awash with “how to do PR” books. Most are prolix statements of the obvious, or self-deluding and unsupported opinions about the client’s importance and the journalist’s hunger for content. Which is why it’s a real pleasure to be able to recommend this genuinely useful, genuinely valuable and thankfully succinct collection of sound pointers and practical rules, hard-won over the years and honed in the real world.’ -- Dennis Jarrett, Writer and Editor, Dubai‘For an editor, it's hard work when PR people send in copy that needs re-writing. On the other hand, material composed according to certain “rules of journalism” puts a smile on my face. If you want to make people like me smile, this book will tell you all you need to know and nothing you don't.’ -- Sarah Edworthy, Vanity Fair/TatlerTable of ContentsForeword by Francis Ingham Introduction Good media writing - the business case The ROI – media messages The media writing challenge: editorial choice B2B and B2C – what’s the difference?
