Unpacking qualitative data in organizational trust research: An application to community appraisal of Covid-19 management in Scandinavia
Purpose Organizational trust is often professed to be communication-based, yet organizational research rarely provides methodological frameworks exploring how orientations to trust are articulated in communication. This paper therefore aims to help unpack how positions on trust are articulated in qualitative, conversational data in a way that can be useful for future qualitative research into organizational trust. Design/methodology/approach The …
Returning Home after Decontamination? Applying the Protective Action Decision Model to a Nuclear Accident Scenario
Studies of the aftermath of nuclear power plant accidents show that affected citizens assess higher risks and adopt more risk-avoidant behaviors than authorities expect. This results in differences between the planned recovery and actual outcomes. Based on this knowledge, this study examined the factors that affect citizens' preference to continue living in a decontaminated area. Testing the key aspects of the protective action decision model (PA…
Citizens’ Communication Needs and Attitudes to Risk in a Nuclear Accident Scenario: A Mixed Methods Study
The potential devastation that a nuclear accident can cause to public health and the surrounding environment demands robust emergency preparedness. This includes gaining a greater knowledge of citizens' needs in situations involving radiation risk. The present study examines citizens' attitudes to a remediation scenario and their information and communication needs, using focus group data (n = 39) and survey data (n = 2291) from Sweden. The focus…
We Do Not Have Any Further Info to Add, Unfortunately” – Strategic Disengagement on Public Health Facebook Pages
During the COVID-19 pandemic, communication with the public has been a central concern for state actors. One important question has been how to best use social media to ensure the sufficient uptake of their advice and recommendations to the public. With regard to such strategic communicative aims, a significant amount of attention has been previously devoted to the engagement, interaction, and dialogic forms of strategic communication on social m…
Transparency beyond information disclosure: Strategies of the Scandinavian public health authorities during the Covid-19 pandemic
The concept of transparency has been problematized in risk research. This exploratory study contributes to the risk literature by considering an established three-dimensional transparency framework (information substantiality, accountability, and participation) and discussing the opportunities for and challenges to risk communication in relation to the framework. Furthermore, we examine the strategies of Scandinavian health authorities during the…
Share a little of that human touch: The marketable ordinariness of security and emergency agencies’ social media efforts
Today, communication specialists working for public security and rescue services increasingly use superficially personalized content, or apply ‘a human touch’, to promote their organizations in social media. To theoretically capture and understand such processes, the concept of marketable ordinariness is proposed. This refers to how the communication relates to everyday conceptions – through feelings, humor, cool vehicles or pet animals – and is …
Mission and Colonialism
This chapter considers the controversial relationship of Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox Christian missions to colonialism during the long nineteenth century. Missionaries have been caricatured as cultural or political imperialists, or agents of a hegemonic globalizing capitalism. Many accounts have, however, neglected the intellectual and theological substructures of missionary endeavour. A closer look at Christian thought on mission an…
Recent research on the discursive construction of national identity

Should each of us take over the role as watcher?’ Attitudes on Twitter towards the 2014 Norwegian terror alert
Research on securitization – the process of politicization aiming to increase security – stresses how important it is for security authorities to gain public support for their representation of threats and security measures. However, there is little research on how people understand and respond to securitization and even less so via social media. Research on security and antiterrorism discourse has rather focused on policy documents and journalis…
Enabling selves to conduct themselves safely: Safety committee discourse as governmentality in practice
A developing body of literature argues that workplace safety is increasingly becoming the responsibility of employees who are the potential victims of hazards. Although interaction is an integral part of enacting and justifying these responsibilization processes, previous research has not provided detailed analysis of organizational talk in this regard. Following Brownlie’s (2004) ‘analytic bridging’ of Foucault and close discourse analysis, this…
