Talking past each other in the cultural war area
This study evaluates the Moral Attitude Dynamic Model (MADM) as a tool to defuse conflicts tensions in two contemporary cases. It conducts a moral diagnosis on genetically modified (GM) food and abortion related tweets. Supporters’ and opponents’ tweets were identified using supervised machine learning classifiers for each issue separately. Distributed Dictionary Representation (DDR), a Natural Language Processing tool was adopted to quantify sup…

The Impact of Retransmission and Modality on Communicating Health Research Findings via Social Media
Social media is an increasingly popular tool for disseminating health research findings to members of the general public and may contribute to improving the effectiveness of science communication. This study was designed to investigate how retransmission (i.e., social media content shared by a familiar, credible organization) and modality (i.e., how the message is delivered) influence the effectiveness of communicating health research findings vi…
Look who is warning
This study investigated individual differences in responses to disasters based on participants’ motivational reactivity and ethical ideology. Motivational reactivity was measured using the motivational activation measure (MAM), which assesses individual differences in appetitive and defensive system activations. Participants (N = 240) answered survey questions about how they would respond to natural disasters or emergency situations. Results show…
Strategic Communication in U.S. Higher Education
Although higher education institutions (HEIs) are in a quest to win the “reputation race” in the hopes of luring prospective students, debate exists about how much strategic effort and internal organizational structure influence HEI reputation, which is subjective and multidimensional by nature. Thus, this study poses the question of how HEIs’ identity and image through strategic communication influence parents of prospective students. We examine…
When groups in glass houses throw stones
This experimental study explores how the general public views an activist organization's affective threat appraisal as a function of three factors: the organization's anger level, efficacy level, and consistency of ascribed identity with avowed identity. Results shed light on the affective threat appraisal that activist organizations might use to manage emerging conflict with the general public. A typology of activist organizations is offered to …
Toward a Publics-Driven, Emotion-Based Conceptualization in Crisis Communication
To better understand not only the minds, but also the hearts of key publics, we have developed a more systemic approach to understand the responses of audiences in crisis situations. The Integrated Crisis Mapping (ICM) model is based on a publics-based, emotion-driven perspective where the publics' responses to different crises are mapped on 2 continua, the organization's engagement in the crisis and primary publics' coping strategy. This multist…
Emotions Matter in Crisis
This experiment revealed that emotional news frames (anger-inducing vs. sadness-inducing) affect people’s emotional response to a corporate crisis such as a cell phone battery explosion accident. The distinct emotions induced by different news frames influenced individuals’ information processing (i.e., heuristic vs. systematic processing) and the evaluation of the company differently. Participants exposed to anger-inducing crisis news read the n…
Health News Agenda Building
This study uses a nationwide survey of health journalists (N = 774) to explore the agenda-building process in health news, examining how journalists develop story ideas, value expert source characteristics, and perceive the acceptability of using public relations materials. Results indicate that intermedia agenda setting may be a stronger influence on agenda building than are information subsidies, and that journalists rate characteristics associ…
Strategic Communication in Crisis Governance
The contingency theory of conflict management and current crisis management literature are integrated in this paper to examine how crisis has been communicated and managed by the Singapore government and what kinds of strategies arose during the various stages of the SARS crisis life-cycle. Findings show that the Singapore government played a predominant role in managing how its multiple publics perceived the crisis by extensive communication thr…
The effectiveness of television advertising campaigns on generating calls to a national Quitline by Māori
These television advertising campaigns were effective and cost effective in generating calls to a national Quitline by Māori. Health authorities should continue to explore the use of both "threat appeal" style media campaigns and culturally appropriate campaigns to support Quitline use by indigenous peoples
The structural transformation of China’s propaganda
In this historical analysis, Jacques Ellul’s theory of propaganda is applied to analyse the changes of China’s propaganda. It is found that China’s propaganda is undergoing structural transformations from depending on human organisation to extensive control and use of media technology. Sociological propaganda as a complement to political propaganda has significantly expanded; integration propaganda replaced agitation propaganda. International ima…

The Interplay of Professional and Cultural Factors in the Online Source-Reporter Relationship
Using discriminant function analysis, this study identifies both professional and cultural factors that distinguish source-reporter relations in South Korea and the United States. Some 339 public relations practitioners and journalists in Korea and the US were surveyed regarding 20 types of offline and online source-reporter interactions (i.e. telephone contact, fax/mail/wire/courier news releases, interviews, press conferences, private meetings,…
Diversity Efforts at the Los Angeles Times
Survey data from Los Angeles Times editorial employees and residents of Los Angeles County were gathered to determine respondents' views of the newspaper's efforts to increase minority coverage, specifically with regard to the market-driven nature of those efforts. How respondents perceive market-driven journalism and the extent to which newsroom and community perceptions of it are similar were specifically addressed. This is an important and neg…
Diversity Advances Both Journalism, Business
From their analysis of interviews with 76 Los Angeles Times newsroom employees, researchers found that the publisher's business diversity goals also made the paper a stronger journalistic product
Public Relations and the Production of News
Because the source-reporter relationship forms the focal point of news gathering, it is a significant topic in the media sociology literature. Most of the source-reporter literature, however, focuses on the routines and values of the reporter. In this chapter the authors argue that public relations often sets the agenda for news media simply because the source in source-reporter interaction is often either a public relations practitioner or a pra…
Compassion Fatigue
This study establishes the construct of “compassion fatigue,” encompassing desensitization and emotional burnout, as a phenomenon associated with pervasive communication about social problems. The study marks the first-known empirical investigation of compassion fatigue as it relates to media coverage and interpersonal communication about social problems. A telephone survey methodology was used to measure compassion fatigue among a general, adult…
VNRs and Air Checks
Forty-seven television news stories generated by a video news release (VNR) were content analyzed to determine how television gatekeepers use various elements included in VNRs. A survey was also done to obtain station resource data that might predict greater use of packaged elements from a VNR. Results suggest that the production costs for a packaged story in a VNR may be wasted. Extensive use was made of B-roll, public service announcements (PSA…
Effect of Support and Personal Distance on the Definition of Key Publics for the Issue of Aids
Situational theory predicts that those with a high problem recognition, high involvement and low constraint recognition will be active information seekers. A telephone survey of 493 individuals in a Southwestern city finds knowledge of AIDS is high among all groups and, as hypothesized, distinguishing audiences according to personal and impersonal levels of problem recognition, involvement and constraint recognition provides a useful extension of…
