Transmitting Revolution: Radio, Rumor, And The 1953 East German Uprising, Michael Palmer Pulido
Transmitting Revolution: Radio, Rumor, And The 1953 East German Uprising, Michael Palmer Pulido
Dissertations (1934 -)
This project examines public opinion in the Dresden Region of the German Democratic Republic from the end of World War II through the summer of 1953. I argue that the Socialist Unity Party (SED) projected its legitimacy through an official public sphere by representing publicness to its citizenry. Through banners, the press, and choreographed public demonstrations, it aimed to create the appearance of popular support. Even more significantly, the SED used radio to ground its legitimacy in a burgeoning post-war internationalism that bound residents of the GDR in an imagined community of socialist nations under Stalin’s leadership. At the same …

Pediatric Oncology Nurses' Experiences With Prognosis-Related Communication, Amy Rose Newman
Pediatric Oncology Nurses' Experiences With Prognosis-Related Communication, Amy Rose Newman
Dissertations (1934 -)
Health care providers (HCPs) in pediatric oncology are faced with the challenge of communicating the devastating news of a cancer diagnosis and prognosis. This type of communication can be referred to as prognosis-related communication (PRC). While the initial conversation with the patient and family regarding prognosis is generally considered the responsibility of the physician, patients and family members will subsequently turn to nurses for clarification of the information presented. If nurses are excluded from initial conversations, they may feel as though they are “working in the dark,” trying to answer questions while not contradicting what the physician said. This strained …
Investigating Sound: Visual And Aural Style From Broadchurch To Gracepoint, Amanda R. Keeler
Investigating Sound: Visual And Aural Style From Broadchurch To Gracepoint, Amanda R. Keeler
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Using Broadchurch and its American version Gracepoint as a case study, this article explores the aesthetic relationship between these two television programmes through an analysis of their visual and aural styles. The increasing proliferation of television-to-television adaptations and remakes necessitates revisiting the terminology to assess how it accommodates methodological approaches that extend beyond cross-cultural analyses. As narrative content and style are inextricably connected, this article attends to the complexity of employing existing terms to analyse the new version of a programme that simultaneously replicates and departs from the style and tone of its predecessor.
Sex Acculturation And Risk Perceptions: Information Seeking And Processing Among Chinese Students In The U.S., Jieyu Ding
Master's Theses (2009 -)
The number of Chinese students studying in the United States is increasing each year and studying in the U.S. provides them with more access to risk information of sexual activities than that of their counterparts in China. Chinese students in the U.S. have shown higher knowledge level about HIV/STI than Chinese students in China. However, their risk perceptions about HIV/STI are relatively low compared to American students due to a lack of formal sex education and a sex-conservative society. Method: this study collected 385 online surveys via Survey Monkey from Chinese students studying in the U.S. The questionnaire was designed …
Impact Of Cybvervetting On Job Seekers' Social Media Use And Identity Creation, Courtney Powers
Impact Of Cybvervetting On Job Seekers' Social Media Use And Identity Creation, Courtney Powers
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Social media has become an integral part of connecting with others and sharing personal information. As more individuals use social media to express themselves, organizations have begun using these same sites to make hiring decisions in a process called cybervetting. Although some researchers suggest that cybervetting has consequences for self-expression, currently little research has explored how cybervetting impacts job seekers’ social media use and identity creation. Accordingly, this study uses quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how cybervetting impacts job seekers’ social media use and online identity creation. By surveying job-seeking social media users, this study measures the relationships between …
An Investigation Into The Teaching Of International Public Relations To Undergraduates, Matthew Wisla
An Investigation Into The Teaching Of International Public Relations To Undergraduates, Matthew Wisla
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Currently, most U.S. multinational companies increasingly rely on international markets for revenue and growth. Public relations professionals, whether they are on assignment in a foreign land or based in the U.S. as part of an international team, must possess the skills to communicate effectively with target audiences from other cultures. The purpose of this study is to better understand the international qualifications and background of instructors teaching international public relations to U.S. undergraduates. This study is based on data collected through telephone interviews with select academic thought leaders in the field of teaching international public relations, and a broad email …
Is There Still A Pr Problem Online? Exploring The Effects Of Different Sources And Crisis Response Strategies In Online Crisis Communication Via Social Media, Young Kim, Hyojung Park
Is There Still A Pr Problem Online? Exploring The Effects Of Different Sources And Crisis Response Strategies In Online Crisis Communication Via Social Media, Young Kim, Hyojung Park
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
This study examined the effects of source and crisis response strategy on crisis communication outcomes in the context of social media. A 3 (source: organization, CEO, or customer) × 2 (strategy: accommodative or defensive) × 2 (crisis type: airline crash or bank hacking) mixed experimental study was conducted with 391 participants. The organizational sources were more likely to be perceived as more credible than the non-organizational sources. In particular, the CEO appeared to be the most trustworthy and credible source in delivering crisis messages. The path analysis indicated that perceived source credibility mediated the effect of source on reputation and …

Intuition And Rationality In Olivier Messiaen's La Nativité Du Seigneur, Mark Konewko
Intuition And Rationality In Olivier Messiaen's La Nativité Du Seigneur, Mark Konewko
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the blend of the intuitive and rational compositional methods used by Olivier Messiaen. The organ works of Messiaen transcend both the rational and intuitive thought and experience process. He practices a highly developed cogent design of harmonies, melodies and rhythmic structures in his music. Using original modes of limited transposition that dictate harmonies, birdsong as a model for melody and Hindu tâlas rhythmic structures to emulate the rhythmic flow in nature, Messiaen weaves an original fabric of music. In this investigation, the reconciliation of these two compositional techniques in Messiaen's La Nativité …

Making Sense Of Lies, Deceptive Propaganda, And Fake News, Bonnie Brennen

Although the concept of truth seems to be taking a beating these days, media ethics continues to provide us with guidance to help distinguish news and information from rumor, innuendo, propaganda and fake news.
“A Certain Stigma” Of Educational Radio: Judith Waller And “Public Service” Broadcasting, Amanda R. Keeler
“A Certain Stigma” Of Educational Radio: Judith Waller And “Public Service” Broadcasting, Amanda R. Keeler
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
This paper explores Judith Waller’s radio programming philosophy over her career that began in 1922 at WMAQ Chicago. In the 1940s, representing the interests of her employer NBC, Waller began to use the phrase “public service” as a way to break free of the “stigma” of educational radio. The concept of public service programming shifted during the 1930s and 1940s in the US, redefined and negotiated in response to assumptions about radio listeners, the financial motivations of commercial radio, and Federal Communications Commission rulings. This paper brings renewed attention to the past and present political economy of media in the …

Meetings As Persistent Conversations That Use Icts And Face-To-Face To Build Social Capital, Keri Stephens, Ignacio Cruz, Eric D. Waters, Yaguang Zhu
Meetings As Persistent Conversations That Use Icts And Face-To-Face To Build Social Capital, Keri Stephens, Ignacio Cruz, Eric D. Waters, Yaguang Zhu
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Attending meetings is a common activity where people accomplish tasks and extend their relationships. But what happens when a meeting is over? Is that the end of the meeting conversation? This study empirically demonstrates that meetings are not discrete events; rather they are a form of persistent conversation processes, involving combinations of ICTs and face-to-face communication. Conversations between meetings contribute to a meeting process-perspective and link to the development of bonding and bridging social capital. The findings suggest that the frequency of face-to-face conversations and text messaging between meetings, positively impact bonding social capital. Peoples’ attitudes toward continuing conversations between …
No Girls Allowed: Television Boys’ Clubs As Resistance To Feminism, Pamela Hill Nettleton Phd
No Girls Allowed: Television Boys’ Clubs As Resistance To Feminism, Pamela Hill Nettleton Phd
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
This article analyzes the male-only spaces present in four television series, FX’s The Shield, Nip/Tuck , Rescue Me, and ABC’s Boston Legal, which each include a gendered territory as a recurring feature. I argue that these homosocially segregated environments enforce boundaries against women and shelter intense bromance relationships that foreclose romantic relationships of any kind, acting as physical incarnations of troubling retrograde sexual politics and ideologies. I also assert that the “boys’ clubs” in which these narratives take place, enabled and empowered by the aesthetic dimensions of architecture and design, help establish workplace patriarchy as commonplace, reasonable, and …
Scientific Uncertainty In Media Content: Some Reflections On This Special Issue, Robert J. Griffin
Scientific Uncertainty In Media Content: Some Reflections On This Special Issue, Robert J. Griffin
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
It was an honor to be called upon to be the anchor reviewer for this special issue of Public Understanding of Science devoted to new perspectives on media presentations of scientific uncertainty. But more than that, it was for me a pleasure and an education. It is always rewarding when, as one of the reviewers of submitted manuscripts, you get so engaged by the content and quality of the research in the articles before you that you have to remind yourself that your task is that of the critic. That happened repeatedly with all of the research articles in this …

Taking Food Fights Online: Analysis Of Chipotle’S Attempt To Cultivate Conversation With The Scarecrow Video, Rebecca Swenson, Nathan Gilkerson, Betsy Anderson
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
This study examines Chipotle’s use of The Scarecrow, an animated YouTube video, to initiate conversation about food sustainability issues. Results illustrate publics were highly engaged in conversation with one another, even though the organization did not directly engage with publics or employ principles of dialogic communication. We highlight the importance of network approaches to studying online interaction between stakeholder groups for public relations scholars interested in dialogical theory frameworks.
Finding Meaning And Sensemaking In Hospital Nursing Teams: The Promise Of Narrative Medicine, Shelley Bobb
Finding Meaning And Sensemaking In Hospital Nursing Teams: The Promise Of Narrative Medicine, Shelley Bobb
Dissertations (1934 -)
Purpose. Narrative medicine is an innovative field that has provided meaning and increased communication between health care providers and their patients. This study explored the significance and nature of the practice of Narrative Medicine and what impact this had with NICU nurses on their team interaction with respect to team functioning, sense-making, and vocational understanding. This study seeks to provide nursing teams another tool to find meaning in their work and strengthen their teamwork. Using Narrative Medicine and the theory of phenomenology, this is a new approach that may bring nurses to draw on fresh ways to engage their work …
Baby Dust To All! Identity Construction In Two-Week Wait Online Discussion Forums, Danielle R. Derose
Baby Dust To All! Identity Construction In Two-Week Wait Online Discussion Forums, Danielle R. Derose
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Women with a self-identified infertility status sometimes choose to address this status by seeking medical intervention. There are a variety of methods available when attempting to conceive using medical treatments, with the choice heavily dependent on the health of each partner. A common first approach by reproductive endocrinologists is that of intrauterine insemination, or IUI. Women undergoing IUI invest significant time and money into the process and often must undergo procedures or take medication that can be enormously distressing. Once the IUI is complete, the woman must wait an emotional two weeks before she finds out if she is pregnant …

Brand Tracking On Social Media: The Role Of Country Of Origin Perceptions, James Pokrywczynski, Hang Lu
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Marketers are now almost a decade into using social media as another outlet in developing brand relationships with consumers. Yet an understanding of how consumers interact with brands online is still in its infancy. This paper compares the social media and brand-tracking habits of consumers in three parts of the world: Asia, the Middle East and the USA. In addition, the study attempts to explain what motivates consumers to follow brands on social media, focusing on the role of products’ country of origin in explaining the relationship. The results show that US consumers spent the most time on social media …

Understanding Dialogue And Engagement Through Communication Experts’ Use Of Interactive Writing To Build Relationships, Betsy Anderson, Rebecca Swenson, Nathan Gilkerson
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Dialogic communication is an important public relations theory, yet scholarship has found few organizations using it to its full potential. Meanwhile, multiple overlapping definitions exist for related terms like engagement, interactivity, and responsiveness, causing potential confusion for researchers and professionals. This research reports the results of in-depth interviews with top digital public relations professionals regarding how they use interactive writing, a form of social media engagement, to build relationships. Through their own unprompted words, the research also describes how professionals use terms such as dialogue, engagement, interactivity, and responsiveness, and corresponding definitions, to refer to their …
Inside The Halls And Walls: Exploring Csr From The Employee Perspective, Katharine Miller
Inside The Halls And Walls: Exploring Csr From The Employee Perspective, Katharine Miller
Master's Theses (2009 -)
This study offered a unique opportunity to explore, more deeply, the internal dimension of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through the perspective of employees, specifically communication professionals. The primary focus was on how companies are communicating CSR internally through the work of communication professionals while then exploring how these individuals make sense of CSR and what it means within their organization. Therefore, data provided insight into how CSR is understood and made meaningful in an organizational context to see if these activities are really embedded into the culture rather than just promoted for good press seen externally. Notable findings of this …
Predicting Multiple Target Tracking Performance For Applications On Video Sequences, Juan Esteban Tapiero Bernal
Predicting Multiple Target Tracking Performance For Applications On Video Sequences, Juan Esteban Tapiero Bernal
Dissertations (1934 -)
This dissertation presents a framework to predict the performance of multiple target tracking (MTT) techniques. The framework is based on the mathematical descriptors of point processes, the probability generating functional (p.g.fl). It is shown that conceptually the p.g.fls of MTT techniques can be interpreted as a transform that can be marginalized to an expression that encodes all the information regarding the likelihood model as well as the underlying assumptions present in a given tracking technique. In order to use this approach for tracker performance prediction in video sequences, a framework that combines video quality assessment concepts and the marginalized transform …

Exploring Organizational Communication (Micro) History Through Network Connections, Scott C. D'Urso, Jeremy P. Fyke, David H. Torres
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
In light of the 100th anniversary of the National Communication Association, the following essay offers an initial look at the communication subdiscipline of organizational communication and its development over the past seven-plus decades. As part of this review, we advocate the use of network methods as a microhistory analytic tool to explore the vast number of connections, both between people and research interests, generated as the discipline developed from its humble beginnings. This work represents a small sample of the greater Organizational Communication Genealogy Project. This larger effort seeks to create a detailed review of the discipline as it explores …

Communicating With Key Publics In Crisis Communication: The Synthetic Approach To The Public Segmentation In Caps (Communicative Action In Problem Solving), Young Kim, Andrea Miller, Myoung-Gi Chon
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
The purpose of this study is to identify and understand key publics and their communication behaviours in crisis communication, using the public segmentation framework which has been rarely used in crisis communication. In doing so, the study quantitatively tests a new theoretical framework of Communicative Action in Problem Solving, classifying eight types of aware and active publics. Through the new framework of public segmentation, the survey results from 1,113 participants substantiate eight types of active and aware publics, as well as their communicative characteristics in a crisis situation. The study finds that the aware and active publics are, as the …
