Press Release Summary: A new book on Public Relations in Asia has received positive
reviews from across the industry.

Press Release Body: London, 30 January 2008. "Public Relations for Asia", written by
Trevor Morris and Simon Goldsworthy, and published by Palgrave Macmillan, has been
earning rave reviews from leading PR industry voices for its comprehensive look at
the present and future development of the Asian PR industry.

Asia Pacific PR specialist Chang Yiru, editor at CCTV, said \'Morris and Goldsworthy
offer a unique combination of top-level industry and academic experience. Public
Relations for Asia is a must for anyone interested in public relations.\'

In the world of Public Relations, Asia presents a uniquely challenging environment,
as the economies of China and India continue to grow rapidly while more established
markets such as Singapore and Hong Kong become increasingly sophisticated. For Asian
PR practitioners and University students looking to move into the profession, these
developments mean increasing demand and complexity.

"Public Relations for Asia" provides theoretical and practical advice for
practitioners and students. \'Asia is the most exciting PR market in the world. This
book not only critically analyses the nature and structure of PR now and in the
future, but also offers a wealth of straight talking practical advice from how to
write a PR plan to what to do when a difficult journalist rings you up\' said Danny
Rogers, Editor of PR Week in the United Kingdom.

For any international PR Agency, Asia already offers commercial opportunities but
the spotlight placed on the industry by "Public Relations for Asia", is set to
heighten commercial interest. Mike Waterson, Chairman of the World Advertising
Research Centre backed this view stating that, \'Asia looks set to experience the
sort of astonishing growth in public relations that the West has recently
experienced. Morris and Goldsworthy look set to accelerate that growth.\'

"Public Relations for Asia" is available from the Palgrave Macmillan website.
