4.0 out of 5 stars
A light, powerful, and critical look at public relations., Oct 28 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sultans of sleaze: Public relations and the media (Paperback)
Joyce Nelson takes a wonderful, easy reading, and very critical examination of the Public Relations Industry and how it is a tool of power-mongreing, regulation bending, environment destroying corporations to keep people in the dark about what is going on all around them. Joyce is a little rough around the edges at times but gives vivid and excellent examples to make her point. Definitly recommended for anyone considering a career in PR, who may perhaps reconsider.

Laughable Hysteria, Aug 9 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sultans of sleaze: Public relations and the media (Paperback)
Joyce Nelson's histrionic tirade makes this book an amusing, if thoroughly digusting, read. Starting with the "story" of how one of the world's largest and most respected public relations firms worked in conjunction with a latin american government regime to cover up the deaths of thousands of citizens, Nelson's little book sounds almost plausible at first. But it becomes clear by the third chapter that Nelson has a particular axe to grind against big business in general and the media in particular, and the PR professionals that adeptly serve both those institutions.This book is highly recommended for all PR practitioners, students of media, or even folks just wanting a good laugh -- but it is not to be taken seriously, under any circumstances.
