Additional Description

Introduction [excerpt]

Public communication that focuses on the communication elements in the formation of public opinion, policy, and regulation ... is often examined in the areas of public relations and mass communication. How an individual interprets and discusses information about factors, issues, or events that impact him or her is worthy of further analysis. This research study will examine how public officials perceive the public input process when citizens engage in various communication formats to make their thoughts, concerns, and issues known.

To move toward a discussion of these topics, a systematic review of recent and relevant literature is presented.
