AM
Learning Units: 1.50-Advanced level

Two small lamps in the Old North Church provided sufficient light
to spread the word in Paul Revere's day. Today's small-project
practitioner faces more challenges in communicating to the average

relations and give the small-project practitioner access to the
basic media relation tools needed to garner increased public
visibility.
