In his new book, Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Harms Our Health
and the Environment,
Grant
Ennis — a lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia —
identifies the "nine devious frames" that corporations such as
automobile manufacturers and road builders use to advance their
interests, manipulate the public and maintain a status quo that
harms human health and the
environment. Dark PR
is a
thought-provoking book that shines a light on the tactics used by
major industries to lock in an unhealthy, unsafe and unsustainable
status quo. Ennis offers some food for thought for safe streets
advocates as we try to improve our world and fight back against
these powerful interests.
