Signal Incongruence And Its Consequences: A Study Of Media Disapproval And Ceo Overcompensation, Jp Vergne, Georg Wernicke, Steffen Brenner Jun 2018

Signal Incongruence And Its Consequences: A Study Of Media Disapproval And Ceo Overcompensation, Jp Vergne, Georg Wernicke, Steffen Brenner

Business Publications

We draw on the signaling and infomediary literatures to examine how media evaluations of CEO overcompensation (a negative cue associated with selfishness and greed) are affected by the presence of corporate philanthropy (a positive cue associated with altruism and generosity). In line with our theory on signal incongruence, we find that firms engaged in philanthropy receive more media disapproval when they overcompensate their CEO, but they are also more likely to decrease CEO overcompensation as a response. Our study contributes to the signaling literature by theorizing about signal incongruence, and to infomediary and corporate governance research by showing that media …

Participants were randomly assigned to one of three media exposure groups and then asked about their opinions about sexual offending and residence restrictions. Results indicated that participants who viewed sensationalized media reports were more likely than individuals who viewed informed media and no media to endorse more stereotypical views of individuals convicted …


East Asian "China Doll" Or "Dragon Lady"?, Joey Lee May 2018

East Asian "China Doll" Or "Dragon Lady"?, Joey Lee

Bridges: An Undergraduate Journal of Contemporary Connections

This paper argues that the representation of East Asian women in popular media is harmful through its exaggerated portrayal of the ‘China Doll’, and ‘Dragon Lady’, ultimately further exoticizing and dehumanizing East Asian women, ensuring the dominance of the West. I will study these portrayals and their impacts through historical and modern film, modern magazines, and intersectional oppression that the restrictive categorizations place upon women of East Asian descent.

Arab Citizens’ Perceptions Of The Investigative Journalism, Ahmed Makharesh May 2018

Arab Citizens’ Perceptions Of The Investigative Journalism, Ahmed Makharesh

Student Theses and Dissertations

Investigative journalism has a significant history in the United States (Bebawi, 2016). Operating under a free press protected by the first amendment, investigative journalism flourished in the early years of the U.S. As the marketplace began to dictate practices among journalists, investigative journalism has at times been very active and at other times the marketplace has restricted investigative journalists because of cost. Investigative journalism has been a hallmark of major television networks in the U.S. and Europe. However, investigative journalism in other parts of the world is often restricted, not by the marketplace but by government policies. This study seeks …
