These research papers were completed as part of one of Mount Royal University’s third-year public relations classes, which focuses on government public relations and Canadian political communication (currently PUBR 3860). The papers are among the first full research papers that the PR students complete during their degree, taking over a month to individually select a topic upon which to write, research, edit, and review prior to submission.

Navigator Calgary (click here: Navigator) Partnered with Mount Royal University’s Public Relations Department in 2022, to highlight the work of the top published student research papers, by vetting the final published works, and inviting their top selections of the published students to present in the downtown office. This developing partnership is linked to Navigator’s Empower campaign. The Western Communication Report student team is continuing to develop the new partnership with Navigator similar to the fourth-year papers vetting by CEMA. Watch for more announcements on this partnership in Spring 2023!
