Acknowledgments
Books are laborious creations that require much support from people whose names do not appear on the dust jackets. This one is no different. We would like to thank many people, and we apologize in advance to anyone inadvertently omitted.
Our list begins with Toni Tan and Cambria Press. Toni’s encouragement and support for our book has allowed us to fully capitalize on our vision to marry social justice and public relations. Thank you, Toni, and thank you, Cambria Press. Our book represents our partnership, and we are honored to work with you.
Katie Pontius Stansberry is the first author of the case study for chapter 5, and her energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to health communication is evident in her work. She has a bright future as a teacher and researcher ahead of her. Many of her fellow graduate students at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication contributed to the research underlying this book. We thank Angela Seits, “Kona” Jack Kelly, and Rob Uhlein for their hours of labor and dedication to the project. They pitched in and gave more of their time than was required to make this a better project.
