From the start, women were central to a century of westward
migration in the U.S. Community Building and Early Public
Relations: Pioneer Women's Role on and after the Oregon Trail
offers a path forward in broadening PR's Caucasian/White
male-gendered history in the U.S. Undergirded by humanist,
communitarian, critical race theory, social constructionist
perspectives, and a feminist communicology lens, this book analyzes
U.S. pioneer women's lived experiences, drawing parallels with PR's
most basic functions - relationship-building, networking, community
building, boundary spanning, and advocacy. Using narrative analysis
of diaries and reminiscences of women who travelled 2,000+ miles on
the Oregon Trail in the mid-to-late 1800s, Pompper uncovers how
these women filled roles of Caretaker/Advocate, Community Builder
of Meeting Houses and Schools, served a Civilizing Function,
offered Agency and Leadership, and provided Emotional Connection
for Social Cohesion. Revealed also is an inevitable paradox as
Caucasian/White pioneer women's interactional qualities made them
complicit as colonizers, forever altering indigenous peoples' way
of life. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and
graduate PR students, PR practitioners, and researchers of PR
history and social identity intersectionalities. It encourages us
to expand the definition of PR to include community building, and
to revise linear timeline and evolutionary models to accommodate
voices of women and people of color prior to the twentieth century.

This volume explores contemporary understandings of "news values"
and the "fake news" phenomena and collects together important new
theory-building research that sheds light on implications of
compromised news products and the ways it shapes perceptions. News
does not happen in a vacuum and journalism is a practice with a
definable milieu which manufactures a product shaped by a complex
and subjective collection, organization, and dissemination of
information. The social import of revisiting Herbert Gans’ "what
is news" ethnographic query in 1979 played out in earnest in 2020.
Americans watched news coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic offer
politicized health information complete with conflicting reports of
disagreeing experts, conspiracy theories, vaccination resistance,
and racist language targeting China and people of Asian descent.
This collection expands on mass communication theory frameworks
built since the 1970s, to enable us to better operationalize and
understand mass media’s role in defining, shaping, and amplifying
news. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Mass Communication and Society.
Comprehensive volume that provides an expert overview of current
scholarship in the field. Reflects current challenges and
perspectives. Essential resource for students and researchers in
PR, communication, marketing, media, and cultural studies.

This book probes if it is possible for PR practitioners to
ethically navigate organizations toward CSR even when outcomes may
be inconsistent with organizational self-interest. Importantly, how
might PR practitioners recommend against doing something that may
be consistent with organizational goals but bad for the environment
or people? This book invokes postmodern and critical theories of PR
to inspire and empower public relations practitioners to transform
organizations into ethical, authentic and transparent public sphere
members.
Nowhere is the study of workplace ethics more relevant today than
in the context of empowering organizations to meet their goals in
corporate social responsibility and sustainability (CSR/S). Aimed
at helping organizations uphold their commitments to people and the
planet as well as profit, these are core goals towards which both
PR and HR departments now work. However one major stumbling block
is the fact that while internal departments may regularly work
closely when managing and communicating with employees, the
communication flow tends to be top down. In order to create more
socially responsible, sustainable, and ethical organizations, the
communication flow must be more organic and bilateral. The question
of how both teams could work together on a more even playing field
has escaped scholarly inquiry for years. Corporate Social
Responsibility, Sustainability, & Ethical Public Relations:
Strengthening Synergies with Human Resources examines ways to make
CSR/S an integrated ingredient and ethical hallmark for an
organization's culture. Here authors from around the globe use a
variety of research methods to offer practical, empirical findings,
exploring opportunities for employees to serve as a conduit for
organizations' CSR/S goals. This book shows how HR-PR department
cooperation can fulfil the role of organizational conscience,
helping for-profits and non-profits to navigate toward greater
CSR/S.
Organizations need not sacrifice workplace diversity in the quest
for positive global reputation and profit. On the contrary,
attention to social identity "difference" in the workplace drives
organizations in deep, far reaching and measurable ways. Practical
and Theoretical Implications of Successfully Doing Difference in
Organizations critically interrogates power and meanings of
""difference,"" suggests avenues for building theory about
""difference,"" and offers reasons why real commitment to diversity
is needed; an endeavor that requires conscious and sustained
effort. Donnalyn Pompper has spent over a decade teaching,
researching, and publishing about social identity dimensions in the
workplace and in media representations. She offers a
multidisciplinary approach to considering social identity
intersectionalities at work. This is a core stand-alone book for
organizational communication, business/management, research
methods, classes of advanced undergraduate and graduate students,
as well as a font of practical advice for organizations' managers.
User-friendly chapters include applied sidebars, key term
definitions, and questions for critical thinking and personal
reflection.
Climate and Sustainability Communication: Global Perspectives
builds upon traditional approaches to understanding the role of
mass media in shaping social issues by amplifying diverse
perspectives of opinion leaders, as well as voices of those
affected by climate and sustainability issues. From South Korea and
China, to the United States and Zambia, the studies reported in
this book-compiled using a variety of formal research methods,
including content analysis, interview, and survey-emphasize
cultural orientation and global implications of climate and
sustainability concerns and issues. The contributors explore the
cultures, geographies, and media systems underpinning climate and
sustainability campaigns emerging around the world, how we theorize
about them, and the ways in which media are used to communicate
about them. The way in which complex problems and opportunities
associated with globalization and power inequities interplay with
climate and sustainability communication requires creative,
interdisciplinary, approaches. This book opens new conversations
for integrating scholarly arenas of mass media communication,
science and environmental communication, political communication,
and health communication, as well as their respective theory and
research method sets. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Mass Communication and Society.

While public relations offers numerous assets for
organization-stakeholder relationship building and for ethical
corporate social responsibility and sustainability communication,
it also faces challenges linked to negative perceptions of the
profession which can lead to accusations of "greenwashing." This
innovative book critically explores the growing, complex and
sometimes contradictory connections among public relations,
corporate social responsibility and sustainability. This book
advocates a postmodern insider-activist role for public relations
which can transform organizations into moral places committed to
people, planet, and profit. By amplifying voices of nearly 100
for-profit and nonprofit professionals, and using hermeneutic
phenomenological theme analyses of CSR/Sustainability reports and
websites, this book invokes public relations, postmodern and
critical theories to empower public relations professionals to
transform organizations into ethical, authentic and transparent
actors in the public sphere. It is essential reading for scholars,
educators and enquiring professionals working in public relations,
corporate communication, sustainability and corporate social
responsibility.
This inaugural edited collection for the Communicating Responsible
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion series presents new critical
discourse alongside cutting-edge practical work at the crossroads
of PR, CSR, and DEI. The collection explores the active promotion
of diversity, equity, and inclusion as a public relations
responsibility and provides new avenues for critiquing the ways in
which power operates through public relations work and theory
building. Featuring contributions from leading scholars from across
the PR, CSR, and DEI fields, Public Relations for Social
Responsibility explores key issues including the legal and economic
frameworks thwarting authentic social responsibility and DEI, the
unique social responsibility style of women and people of color
managing organizations, and expanding the social responsibility
critique to include non-human stakeholders and the environment.
Chapters illuminate international and industrial contexts at the
intersection of PR, CSR and DEI, including historical perspective
on DEI roadblocks in the U.S., PR in the time of COVID-19 crises,
organizational bullying, DEI, AI and PR ethics, animals as
stakeholders, inclusion as CSR component, CEO activism on the
African continent, and PR's responsibility in transforming society.
The collection will introduce new conceptual and practical
approaches highly relevant to scholars of Communication, Management
and Corporate Social Responsibility in a global context.
Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role
Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse
associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on
males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them,
and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to
measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be
manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role
stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in
psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out
in media warrant further study given that representations offer
audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to
toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient,
to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression
to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that
can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars
and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will
find this book particularly interesting.
Rhetoric of Femininity: Female Body Image, Media, and Gender Role
Stress/Conflict offers critical and social identity
intersectionalities approach to interpretations of femininity among
three generations of women for a rhetorical examination of how
femininity is made to mean by media and popular culture. Amplified
are voices of women across multiple age, ethnic, and sexual
orientation groups who shared in focus groups and interviews their
perceptions of femininity and feminine ideals. Femininity is
explored using theories from communication and mass media,
psychology, sociology, and feminist and gender studies. Donnalyn
Pompper explores femininities as shaped by cultural rituals and
industries, at home and at work in organizations, on sporting
fields and arenas, and in politics.
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that
shape our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect
of modern life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest
that globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they
critique mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They
further explore the "new activism" of social movement groups who
use performance and media to appeal directly to the people in
promoting their causes, fundraising, and recruitment.
