About the Western Communications Report
The Western Communication report was created in 2019 to showcase the hard work and accomplishments of the public relations students at Mount Royal University. The WCR is an undergrad student-run web magazine produced by and for communications students at Mount Royal University.
Each year, a new group of students is responsible for organizing the production of the magazine. The top essay submissions are chosen from select courses in each cohort of second, third and fourth year of the public relations program. All students in the department have an opportunity to get involved with the magazine either by volunteering as editors or by submitting their paper for review.
Note: All opinions found within the publications are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the organization or its editorial team.
