Journalism in times of blurring boundaries between journalism, PR and advertising

The results of 27 semi-structured interviews with journalists, journalists/content producers and former journalists in Austria show that the blurring boundaries are a fact that is unlikely to go away. The use of social media is the driving force, but the lack of financial and human resources in journalism are also reasons…
Culture matters: Cultural variability in corporate codes of conduct as a means to foster organizational legitimacy
In recent decades, implementing a code of conduct (CoC) as part of an organization's CSR infrastructure has become a sine qua non for gaining trust and fostering credibility. Despite numerous studies aimed at identifying cultural differences in the content of CoCs, little is known about what causes those differences and how they relate to an organization's communicative endeavor to gain trust and strengthen its legitimacy. In response, this artic…

Employees are important stakeholders in an organization and closer to it than any other stakeholder group. Understanding employees' judgments of crisis spillover risk and response strategies helps to assess t…

Agile Content Management: Strategic Communication in Corporate Newsrooms
Corporate communication increasingly evolves into newsroom-like forms. In such structures, traditional approaches of functional differentiation (i.e., internal coms, media relations, public affairs, etc.) give way to topic-and content-centered approaches to corporate communication. Megatrends like globalization, digitalization, mediatization, and the decline of journalism have facilitated these developments. This study provides insights on agile …

Journalists’ Coverage of Online Firestorms in German-Language News Media
When people perceive events that conflict with their expectations they can easily express their agitation and concerns online and likely find others who share their opinion. When large quantities of messages containing negative word-of-mouth suddenly spread in social media we speak of an online firestorm. By covering the outcry, journalists elevate it onto a mainstream communication platform and support the process of scandalization. Content anal…
Motivational determinants of systematic processing: Expectancy moderates effects of desired confidence on processing effort
Extending the motivational assumptions of the heuristic-systematic model (Chaiken, Liberman, & Eagly, 1989), the authors hypothesized that a discrepancy between desired and actual judgmental confidence raises processing effort only if the expectancy that processing will increase confidence is high. In Experiment 1, university students expected to review information for upcoming social judgments. Desired confidence was varied through low versus hi…
