    Open AccessDenise Voci, Sandra Förster et al.ARTICLECommunication & Society2026

The findings de…

  • Demoralization Effects of Sustainability

    Open AccessThomas Fenzl, Franzisca Weder et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2022

    Sustainability is not only a moral compass for organizations of all kinds and shapes; increasingly it can be identified as social representation influencing social practices and behavior.

    Open AccessDenise Voci, Catherine J Bruns et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2020

    In this paper, we analyze public discourses in 2018 about water-scarce Cape Town, SA. We investigated the discursive implications of apocalyptic rhetoric such as “Day Zero” by analyzing local and international news media talk (n=111 newspaper articles) surrounding the Cape Town water crisis during pre-, height of and post-crisis moments, complemented by 12 narrative problem-centered interviews in the height of the water crisis. The analysis led t…

  • A motivation-based typology of media companies’ cross-border engagement

    Open AccessJohanna Möller, Johanna E Möller et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Communication2019Cited by: 1References: 40

    This article contributes to theoretical discussions in the field of transnational media management research. We argue that investigating media companies’ activities abroad from a strategy-as-practice perspective can overcome shortcomings implied in research predominantly focusing on strategies applied by entire companies. This is especially valid in times of digitization where changing technological frameworks force media companies to internation…

  • Can digitisation help overcome linguistic and strategic disadvantages in international media markets? Exploring cross-border business opportunities for German-language media companies

    Open AccessM Bjørn Von Rimscha, Johanna Möller et al.ARTICLEMedia Culture & Society2019References: 40

    The media economy and production literature offers insights into the international activities of media companies that provide products in ‘world languages’. Researchers point out that English-language content and, thus, English-language companies have a linguistic advantage and dominate the global media market. In comparison, there is limited knowledge of how companies that originate from non-dominant-language territories expand their activities …

  • What is a media company today? Rethinking theoretical and empirical definitions

    Open AccessDenise Voci, Matthias Karmasin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Communication and Media2019Cited by: 3References: 1

These questions are rarely addressed by authors and scholars working in both business economics, journalism, media, and communication science, maybe because there is the existing assumption of a self-evident and generally accepted definition of the term "media company" (as argued by…
