While the broader field of communication studies is gaining more
global prominence, this is an era when the underrepresented voices
are fortunately becoming more recognized. Communication Theory and
Application in Post-Socialist Contexts illustrates how Eurasia and
Central and Eastern Europe-the post-socialist region-represents a
population of more than 400 million who embody a wide array of
communication experiences. This book aims to capture significant
communication tendencies in several post-socialist countries and
situate these tendencies within communication theory and
application. It contains the examples of theory-building and
adaptation as well as applied projects implemented in national and
local contexts. Only by inclusive incorporation of the
underrepresented experiences in the field's discussions can the
communication discipline continue to assert its relevance in and
for the global community. This book serves as a resource for anyone
on the quest of diversifying and globalizing communication studies.
In modern politics as well as in historical times, character
attacks abound. Words and images, like symbolic and psychological
weapons, have sullied or destroyed numerous reputations. People
mobilize significant material and psychological resources to defend
themselves against such attacks. How does character assassination
"work," and when does it not? Why do many targets fall so easily
when they are under character attack? How can one prevent attacks
and defend against them? The Routledge Handbook of Character
Assassination and Reputation Management offers the first
comprehensive examination of character assassination. Moving beyond
studying corporate reputation management and how public figures
enact and maintain their reputation, this lively volume offers a
framework and cases to help understand, critically analyze, and
effectively defend against such attacks. Written by an
international and interdisciplinary team of experts, the book
begins with a theoretical introduction and extensive description of
the "five pillars" of character assassination: (1) the attacker,
(2) the target, (3) the media, (4) the public, and (5) the context.
The remaining chapters present engaging case studies suitable for
class discussion. These include: Roman emperors; Reformation
propaganda; the Founding Fathers; defamation in US politics; women
politicians; autocratic regimes; European leaders; celebrities;
nations; Internet campaigns. This handbook will prove invaluable to
undergraduate and postgraduate students in communication, political
science, history, sociology, and psychology departments. It will
also help researchers become independent, critical, and informed
thinkers capable of avoiding the pressure and manipulations of the
media.

Media and Public Relations Research in Post-Socialist Societies
tracks the birth, development, and contemporary expansion of
communication research, with a focus on public relations and media
research in post-socialist societies. This collection illuminates
the current state of media and communication studies in Eastern
Europe, Central Europe, and Central Asia. Contributors discuss and
demonstrate various issues of disciplinary roots and tensions,
institutional constraints, study development, and contemporary
status. This book also illustrates diverse types of traditional and
contemporary communication studies from humanities and social
science perspectives, ranging from linguistics to health
communication. This collection focuses on both traditional and
modern scholarship that has arisen due to international scholarly
efforts, the advent of technology, and national research interests.
Readers will have the opportunity to intellectually discuss the
conceptual, theoretical, and practical issues that have occurred
within the past twenty years regarding public relations, mass
communication, and media studies in post-socialist societies. The
analyses in this book lead readers to consider potential
resolutions to some of the current dialectical tensions that are
affecting post-socialist communication studies and contemplate how
reflecting on these tensions informs the broader field of
communication worldwide.

News, and Misinformation Online provides broad perspectives,
practices, and case studies on online deception. It also offers
deception-detection methods on how to address the challenges of the
various aspects of deceptive online communication and cyber fraud.
While highlighting topics such as behavior analysis, cyber
terrorism, and network security, this publication explores various
aspects of deceptive behavior and deceptive communication on social

and misinformation, character assassination, and political
deception. This book is ideally designed for academicians,
students, researchers, media specialists, and professionals
involved in media and communications, cyber security, psychology,
forensic linguistics, and information technology.
