Johanna Fawkes comments: "The first paper I wrote was called Max Clifford the Honest Liar?, presented to PREF meeting in 1995 following a talk he gave to University of Central Lancashire students. I wondered if his unapologetic pragmatism gave better insight into profession than mealy mouthed ethical claims. My main criticism was that he uses his ego to decide who's good, who's bad, covering up for the former, exposing the latter according to his own, somewhat unexamined whim. V interesting person and presenter.... Trouble is, tweets show main conclusion students draw is still 'whatever works is OK', which is depressing...

What a shame! Although I quite understand your decision, I will miss PR Studies. Good luck with your other channels, but there will be a gap for your sometimes challenging, always refreshing take on the world. Thanks for so many consistently good posts and thoughtful comments.

This looks interesting. Would have bought it straight away but I find it a bit odd to be asked to pay more for a Kindle edition than a physical book....
