Public Communication Review

Focus and Scope

Public Communication Review

Public Communication Review is a peer-reviewed e-journal published by the Australian Centre for Public Communication at the University of Technology Sydney. The journal publishes scholarly articles, high standard professional practice papers, and case studies in its ‘Speaking Practically’ section which deal with topical issues in relation to advertising, media, organisational communication and public relations in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Articles are invited on academic and industry research, technological developments, innovations and new developments in public communication practices. In particular, PCR focuses on the integration of theory and practice and welcomes articles which deductively interpret how theories inform applied Best Practice in public communication, or which inductively analyse empirical research and contemporary practices and how they inform public communication theory. In addition, articles that reflect particular themes announced for some editions are invited.
