The Handbook of Strategic Communication
Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.(Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland )In the era of post-truth and healthcare 2.0, when lay experts have equal credibility as medical professionals and when the internet…

Risk communication and the willingness to follow evacuation instructions in a natural disaster
Experts have predicted that some time in the future, a rockslide in one of Norway's narrow fjords will produce a tsunami that may run up above the sea level as high as 82 m (269 feet). This study explores the willingness of the public to follow evacuation instructions before a natural disaster with a high probability, but unknown timeframe. Parts of the studied area were involved in a similar disaster in 1934. For this study, all residents (875) …
Risk communication and worried publics in an imminent rockslide and tsunami situation
In this paper determinants of adequate worry were studied in the case of an impending rockslide and tsunami in the fjords around Åknes on the west coast of Norway. Approximately 3000 people live in this danger zone. A rockslide may cause up to 54 million cubic metres (1.9 billion cubic feet) of rock to slide into the fjord below, causing a major tsunami. In relation to risk communication, the study sought insights into the determinants of adequat…

Using Sense-Making and Coorientation to Rank Strategic Public Communication in State Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs)
This study employs sense-making and coorientation theories to evaluate public communication in current emergency response planning in the United States. It employs a two-stage content analysis to evaluate and rank all available state emergency operations plans [EOPs] from among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The study concludes that: (1) only D. C. and New Mexico achieved the top score of 8 on our 1–8 scale with Ohio scoring a 7; (2)…
The Role of Trust in Channels of Strategic Communication for Building Civil Society
In these turbulent times, development communication is a growing and important area of both academic research and practice. This article explores the role of strategic communication channels in the development of civil society in Bosnia. This case study reports the results of a survey that asked Bosnians about their levels of trust in government officials, alternative media, and state-controlled media outlets. The findings suggest that shortly af…
Public Relations: State of the Field
Public relations is both a professional practice and a subfield of communication with its own research and theory base. Public relations is relatively young as an academic field, however, having developed identifiable theory in only about the last 50 years. The field of public relations is developing into a theoretically based area of applied communication that has the potential to inform several areas of communication/mass communication and to o…
Communication work and electronic surveillance: A model for predicting panoptic effects
By the year 2000, up to 40 million workers are expected to be surveilled electronically in American workplaces. Management often views surveillance as an attempt to achieve certain organizational goals better by more fully utilizing time and other resources. This article adopts the alternative perspective, that of employees/members, from which surveillance can be understood as an attempt to create new power relationships based on an electronic ve…
Black English in the Integrated Workplace
The existence of what has been designated separate one Black, one White (Kerner Commission, 1968)raises the question of the extent to which these two societies have also developed as distinct speech communities. Because race continues to be a critical variable in social and economic relations, as well as in public policy formation, the nature of sociolinguistic differences and cooperation between the African American and White American speech com…
Do workers trust labor unions and their messages
This study investigated differences between workers’ attributions of trustworthiness toward their labor union and its messages, as influenced by affiliation behavior and several demographic variables of interest. A complete metropolitan postal district open shop, numbering 4,225, was surveyed. Results demonstrated significant differences between workers’ trust of their labor union and their labor union's messages, favoring the union over its mess…
