Packed with the latest research, best practices and hands-on applications, Keith/Lundberg's PUBLIC SPEAKING: CHOICES AND RESPONSIBILITY, 4th Edition, equips you with everything you need to become comfortable creating an outstanding speech. Working from a conversational framework, you'll learn to approach public speaking as a way of continuing important public conversations with specific audiences. The authors emphasize the importance of civility as the ethical grounding of speech in public as well as address 'fake news' and the problem it poses for doing research. An all-new chapter takes a deep dive into online presentation skills, covering everything from eye contact on Zoom to using graphics in a mediated presentation. Expanding the formats of public speaking, the final chapter is devoted to special kinds of speaking like TED Talks, PechaKucha, poetry slams, toasts and more.
