Jami Fullerton

Titled Shaping International Public Opinion: A Model for Nation Branding and Public Diplomacy, Fullerton and Dr. Alice Kendrick, Marriott Professor of Advertising in the Temerlin Advertising Institute at Southern Methodist University, use original research studies to explore topics as diverse as social media content, movies, wine, and international educational exchange programs in countries as varied as Ghana, Cuba, China, and the United States to marry the fields of nation branding and public opinion. 

Fullerton and Kendrick introduce the Model of Country Concept, a first-of-its kind illustration of the factors that influence how global citizens perceive other countries.  Their holistic approach resulted in 22 authors developing 14 chapters, each using the model to interpret those varied factors.  Many of the authors presented their work at a full-day symposium prior to the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s national conference in 2015. 

An ebook version of the text is available immediately from Peter Lang International Academic Publishers and physical copies are currently in production.
