This book only exists because of the hard work and support of many people. Many thanks are owed to our amazing editorial team at Wiley, especially Haze Humbert and Kelley Baylis. Haze and Kelley believed in me and encouraged me every step of the way. I have the greatest praise and gratitude to these people and their colleagues for their patience and kindness. I also want to extend our appreciation to our reviewers whose suggestions helped shape this volume into what it is.

Brigitta thanks Troy and Kai Johnson for their encouragement; she also thanks the Auburn University College of Liberal Arts and School of Communication & Journalism for the support received while conceptualizing, writing, and editing this book.
