Nordic Perspectives on Strategic Communication
Over the past two decades, the Nordic countries have attracted attention, for instance, due to their high rankings in surveys of happiness and a range of other economic and social indicators. This special issue investigates how strategic communication is theorized and practiced within this regional context, focusing on the distinctive conditions that shape both conceptual frameworks and professional approaches. In this introduction, we first ask …
Show me the love! Gen Z perceptions of organizations’ love for them
Personal Relationships in the Nordics
In the Nordic context, communication plays a pivotal role in managing stakeholder relationships, where strong, mutually beneficial ties foster trust and legitimacy. The high social capital of Nordic societies – anchored in both generalized and particularized trust – offers a distinctive setting to explore how communication professionals build and leverage stakeholder relationships for organizational and professional goals. This study examines Fin…
Policy window and news media lobbying - crisis narratives of Finnish business associations during a public health crisis
Media lobbying has become a central strategy through which interest groups seek to influence policymaking by shaping public discourse. Although prior research highlights the relevance of timing, media space, and narratives, these dimensions are typically examined in isolation. This study advances a communication perspective on lobbying by analyzing how time, space, and narrative interact across the policy cycle. Focusing on Finnish business assoc…
Leveraging the Power of News Media
Lobbying research has mainly focused on direct efforts, whereas indirect lobbying, such as influencing the news media agenda, is less explored. Despite its growing use by organizations and interest groups, the impact of media lobbying is not well understood. This study examines the media lobbying outcomes of three Finnish trade associations during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to increase issue saliency and promote their policy positions. The pan…
Feeling and Healing in Different Spaces and Phases
This research investigates individuals' reactions and coping strategies during a prolonged health crisis over distinct temporal phases (i.e., early and late stages of the pandemic) and geographical locations (i.e., Australia, Finland, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, and the United States). Using the infectious disease threat (IDT) appraisal model as a guide, we conducted two separate studies at different intervals to investigate the coping strategies…
A revised digital media–arena framework guiding strategic communication in digital environments
Purpose This paper refines the Digital Media–Arena (DMA) framework to address the diversity of stakeholders contributing to the production, (re)appropriation and (re)distribution of organisational messages in digital environments. It also presents a case analysis for the purpose of demonstrating the applicability of the revised conceptual framework to a critical situation. Design/methodology/approach Grounded in key public relations, corporate co…
Effects of Individuals’ Cultural Orientations and Trust in Government Health Communication Sources on Behavioral Intentions During a Pandemic
Public health messages disseminated by trusted government authorities are likely to have more influence over individuals’ intentions and behaviors. However, individuals worldwide have different levels of trust in government authorities, which leads to varying levels of compliance intentions. Additionally, these trust levels may vary during major public crises, such as pandemics. Based on a COVID-19 pandemic communication survey (N = 3,065) dissem…
Pedagogical agents communicating and scaffolding students' learning
Pedagogical agents (PAs) communicate verbally and non-verbally with students in digital and virtual reality/augmented reality learning environments. PAs have been shown to be beneficial for learning, and generative artificial intelligence, such as large language models, can improve PAs' communication abilities significantly. K-12 education is underrepresented in learning technology research and teachers' and students' insights have not been consi…
Democratic representation and non‐majoritarian actors in constitutional orders
A systemic analysis of constitutional democratic orders can shed light on two important aspects of political representation (PR): first, the complexity of PR as a plural endeavour involving various actors that perform different activities within a common framework; and second, the diachronic dimension of such an endeavour, which takes shape over time. The article elucidates both aspects with a focus on adjudicative bodies, to point out their repr…
How Motivation to Reduce Uncertainty Predicts Covid-19 Behavioral Responses
During highly uncertain times such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is vital to understand and predict individuals’ responses to governments’ crisis and risk communication. This study draws on the Orientation-Stimulus-Orientation-Response (O-S-O-R) model to examine (1) whether uncertainty reduction motivation (a pre-orientation factor) drove Americans to turn to traditional news media and/or social media (stimuli) to obtain…
How pedagogical agents communicate with students
Technological advancements have improved the capabilities of pedagogical agents to communicate with students. However, an increased use of pedagogical agents in learning environments calls for a deeper understanding of student–agent communication to assess the effectiveness of pedagogical agents in learning. This study is a two-phase systematic review of scientific papers on pedagogical agent communication research published between 2010 and 2020…

The purpose of this study is to investigate which image-based features are more effective in conveying and stimulating particular emotions and engagement towards organizations operating in the food industry. Design/methodology/approach An online experimental survey was implemented. Two image-based features, narrativity and dynamism we…
In the Region of Middle Axioms
This article addresses the use of foreign law in constitutional adjudication. We draw on the ideas of wide reflective equilibrium and public reason in order to defend an engagement model of comparative adjudication. According to this model, the judicial use of foreign law is justified if it proceeds by testing and mutually adjusting the principles and rulings of our constitutional doctrines against reasonable alternatives, as represented by the p…
Collective Action, Philosophy and Law
Collective Action, Philosophy and Law brings together two important strands of philosophical analysis. It combines general philosophical inquiry into collective agency with analyses of specific questions about plural entities and activities in the legal domain. These are issues of growing interest in areas of philosophy like action theory and social ontology, as well as in philosophy of law. The book contains 13 original chapters written by an in…

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review the extant literature on chatbots and stakeholder interactions to identify major trends and shed light on knowledge gaps. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. A code book based on early systematic literature reviews was developed and used to extract information from 62 discrete peer-reviewed English articles. An in…
Lobbying, the public interest, and democracy
Framing “the Public Interest”
How do lobbyists get their way and what is the consequence for democracy of their strategies? It is frequently asserted that lobbyists appeal to the public interest to strengthen their proposals. This paper empirically corroborates this claim through four case studies cutting across different European cultural clusters and political systems. The paper unpacks how businesses communicatively construct a link between their private interest and the p…
Public relations as relationship management. A relational approach to the study and practice of public relations
In Public Relations as Relationship Management, the editors, Ki, Kim, and Ledingham offer a comprehensive overview of the most recent research on relationship in public relations literature. The central arguments of the book are that relationship matters for the achievement of organizational goals and that public relations can provide important and valuable support in relationship management, beyond image/impression management via communications.…
Strategic communication, social media, and democracy. The challenge of the digital naturals
Certainly social media has become a buzzword in many disciplinary fields, including strategic communication, which Hallahan, Holtzhausen, Van Ruler, Verčič, and Sriramesh (2007) define as “the purposeful use of communication by an organization to fulfill its mission” (p. 3). However, a strategic communication reader will be surprised to note that just few chapters focus on organizations and their use of social media for strategic purposes. Most o…
Blogging as a Communication Strategy for Government Agencies
More and more government agencies are starting to use social media as part of their communication strategy to increase organizational transparency, collaborations inside and outside the organization, and public participation. In this study, we investigate how civil servants use a blog in a government agency in Denmark and their viewpoints on the actual contribution of blogging for their organization’s communication goals. The study is longitudina…
Philosophy of Law and International Criminal Law
The legal philosophy of the 20th century has contributed to the development of international criminal law by rethinking fundamental legal concepts and theories concerning the nature of international law, its relation with national laws, the connection between the law and the State, and the very idea of responsibility. This was achieved, in the first place, through the reflection of Hans Kelsen, who put forward the idea of a system of enforceable …
Mediatization and Government Communication
Social actors see exposure in the news media as attractive for publicity purposes and are under pressure to adapt their press work to a “media logic” to be attractive sources for journalists and editors. This article investigates the European Parliament’s press officers’ professional practices in the light of mediatization and government communication theories. Without one pan-European public sphere, the European Parliament, like the other Europe…

Towards a More Holistic Stakeholder Analysis Approach. Mapping Known and Undiscovered Stakeholders from Social Media
This paper proposes a conceptual direction for organizations of how they could map their stakeholders in a more holistic way. Study suggests, that stakeholder theory is useful in identifying and prioritizing stakeholders that organization is aware of. However, theory is argued being ineffective in finding stakeholders on new environments (social media), where connectivity and relationships play a key role. The argument stems from the need to asse…
