This study investigates the critical role of media-source preferences in building trust in organizations. Data from the 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer survey was used to analyze the relationship between stakeholders’ media use patterns and their trust in different types of organizations.

A three-way MANOVA found the unique effects of relationship, crisis responsibility, and the type of crisis-response strategy on attitudes t…
Examination of Media Channels and Types as Health Information Sources for Adolescents
Using Primary Socialization Theory, this survey of 452 young people indicates their most reported health learning is from television, followed by radio, print, Internet, and social networking media.

Television, radio, and the Internet were more important health information sources for African American young …
You Can't Homogenize Success in Communication Management
Interviews were conducted with 97 high-level U.S. communications managers to assess factors related to professional success in public relations. The executives most commonly defined success in managerial and strategic terms and indicated that excellent communication skills and a proactive nature were crucial to success in the field. However, the results suggested that success follows diverse pathways, which appear to be linked by 10 patterns or t…
