This is a relatively short and eminently readable book by Lawrence Wallack et al., on the use of Media Advocacy to help resolve public health issues. There is a lot of history and examples, basically a lot of storytelling, that collectively give life to the concepts and prevents a dry reading experience. The only thing missing was the Internet (this book is from 1993).
