Facts Do Care about Your Feelings
After the January 6th, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol, it seemed clear that the public sphere in the U.S. was being challenged by political extremists. Yet, existing public sphere normative theories provide unsatisfying tools for explaining why the riots occurred. Participants in the contemporary U.S. public sphere do not seem to recognize the legitimacy of their political opponents, and there is an increasing turn toward raw assertion instead o…
Developing an Institutional Arrangement for a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Community Approach to Regional Adaptation to Sea Level Rise
Adaptation to sea level rise (SLR) requires coordination among local, state, and federal entities and collaboration across governments, nonprofits, businesses, and residents. This coordination and collaboration are reflected in institutional arrangements associated with a whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach to regional adaptation. This study analyzes the development of an interlocal agreement (ILA), the Hampton Roads Sea Level Ris…
Communicating Climate Change
This book focuses on theoretical and applied observations concerning how experts, advocates, and institutions make climate change information accessible to different audiences. It concentrates on three key elements of climate change communication – access, relevance, and understandability – to provide an understanding of how these elements allow multiple groups of stakeholders to act on the information to build resilience. This book will be of gr…

Transparency in the News
An experimental study was conducted to see what impact varying the level of self-disclosure by a journalist, as well as providing information about why and how a story is being covered, has on the perceived credibility of the journalist, the story, and the organization for which the journalist works. A study was conducted that included 885 participants from the United States. Results indicate the group that saw a picture of the journalist, a low …
Public Journalism Without the Public
A review of public journalism journal articles from 1991 through 2018 revealed significant gaps in (a) conceptualizing the public sphere, and (b) ascertaining the credibility of public journalism efforts. These gaps have implications for a press that is becoming increasingly challenged in an era of self-curated news selection and polarization. This work offers conclusions regarding how journalistic engagement efforts can better consider audience …
Organizational Disaster Communication Ecology
Interagency coordination is crucial for effective multiagency disaster management. Viewing government and emergency management organizations as vital components of citizens' disaster communication ecology, this study examines how a group of Texas-based public health departments and emergency management offices engaged in interagency coordination during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. By analyzing coronavirus-related agency tweets betwe…
Corporate Affirmations of Self-Identity and Mutual Self-Help
In 2018, Disney launched a Marvel Rising transmedia campaign introducing a line of female superhero dolls and supporting media narratives across Disney XD, Marvel Comics, and Hasbro toys. Utilizing textual and industry analysis, we find that the concentration of ownership and the need to attract a new clientele resulted in a “commercialized feminism” text, one that thematically supports Disney’s prosocial messaging agenda, linking its products to…
The Action-oriented Stakeholder Engagement for a Resilient Tomorrow (Asert) framework
News Stories on the Facebook Platform
This experimental study examined whether stories presented on Facebook that appeared to be from a news organization were rated as higher in perceived credibility than stories that appeared to be from a non-news organization. One-hundred-and-seven participants took part in the online study. One group saw stories that appeared to be from a news organization and another group saw the same stories that appeared to be from a non-news organization. Bot…

The Top Executive on Undercover Boss
Reality television has customarily been studied as an arena where individuals perform who they are within episodic and often highly dramatic contexts. This work, however, finds that the program Undercover Boss offers a different approach: The corporate persona, embodied through the “undercover” top executive, interacts with front-line workers and, in the process, (1) elicits from employees their own self-governing observations, (2) focuses on emp…
Citizen Journalists' Views on Traditional Notions of Journalism, Story Sourcing, And Relationship Building
This study examines whether citizen journalists adhere to traditional journalistic norms when reporting. A nationwide survey and follow-up interviews with selected US citizen journalists showed they do consider traditional norms such as objectivity, gatekeeping, and balance to be very important. This is contrary to what some previous studies have found. Citizen journalists also indicated that both official and unofficial sources were integral to …
The role of politics and proximity in sea level rise policy salience
Patch.com
Patch.com, an online community journalism platform, is focused on the reporting of local news at more than 900 communities across the United States. Scholars have observed that community journalists often display personal engagement in the stories that they report, and, envisioning their community, actively work to facilitate a sense of connection among their readers. This work finds that Patch.com sites, however, exhibit a lack of clear engageme…

Disconnects between news framing and parental discourse concerning the state-mandated HPV vaccine
In 2007, Virginia became the first state in the US to mandate the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. In 2009, the mandate required that parents of girls entering sixth grade (ages 11-12) vaccinate their daughters or sign the 'opt-out' waiver. This investigation is the first to explore how both the news media and parents framed and responded to the newly-mandated HPV vaccine. This research reveals disjoints between news media framing and parental…

A View That's Fit to Print
This study examines the appearance of National Association of Manufacturers' (NAM) propaganda, from 1937 to 1939, in articles within The New York Times. NAM's ability to place such rhetoric in The New York Times reveals both the presence of integration propaganda and the beginning of a press acclimation to propaganda as news. This examination reveals a crystallizing of professional journalism's reliance on authoritative, yet propagandistic source…
Claiming Journalistic Truth
The US press's assertions of credibility stem from the post-World War I decade. Disillusioned with its own earlier credulity regarding the Committee on Public Information's (CPI) wartime propaganda, the press gradually professionalized during the 1920s. During those years, it focused on developing fact-oriented work routines that allowed it to claim it was more accurately reporting the “truth.” During that same decade, PR pioneer Edward L. Bernay…
Newspapers' Struggles with Civic Engagement
This article examines how two factors—journalism's professionalized vigilance against co-option and its difficulty differentiating social action communications from propaganda—led to many in the press attacking public journalism as propagandistic. Sociologist Alfred McClung Lee's mid-20th century writings provide fresh explanations for how press critics conflated public journalism with propaganda. Finally, this article maintains that newspapers c…
