Journalists’ Perceptions of AI in a News Release
This study examines how acknowledging the assistance of artificial intelligence in news releases shapes journalists’ perceptions of credibility and intentions to use such materials.

Grounded in the CAS…
Are all uses of AI created equal? An experimental review of AI disclosure types on credibility
As AI increasingly influences content production in news, and at a time when media organizations aim to restore credibility through higher transparency, public perceptions of AI play a role in shaping evaluations of the message and the source.

As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) becomes more integrated into corporate communication, its role in crisis messaging raises critical questions about audience perception and trust. Drawing on theories of machine heuristics, this study explores how relational cues in AI-authored crisis apologies shape emotional and cognitive responses that ultimately influence trust and forgiveness. A 3 (authorship attribution: AI vs. human vs. control)…
The Permanence of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller's Painted Plaster

Being neither marble nor bronze, however, the material lacked traditional historic significance and lasting power. Furthermore, plaster has the ten…

This research contributes to the theoretical advancement of crisis communication and social psychology theories and provides guidance for professionals navigating emerging forms of paracrises. Results from this experimental design study reveal that during orchestrated di…
