The book challenges the notion that public relations in Europe is no more than a copy of the Anglo-American approach. It presents a nation-by-nation introduction to historical public relations developments and current topics in European countries, written by noted national experts in public relations research and well-known professionals who are able to oversee the situation in their own countries.

This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as subject-oriented prose or professional communication. The authors examine the written texts capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in the importance of capturing and maintaining content as a manageable entity. The chapters each deal with a text type that manages complex content in a specialized way, including genre shifting in CSR reports, discourse networks in modern digital culture, digital and social media crisis communication, and e...

Jan Niklas Kocks explores the effects of the now almost ubiquitous online media on political media relations and the interactions defining them. He analyses the ways in which leading political spokespersons and journalists perceive digitisation in terms of technological, organisational and political change as well as the actual adaptations of digitisation on an individual and organisational level. Political media relations are approached from a perspective of social network analysis. Findings indicate a picture of political media relations as a continuing elite phenomenon.

In this book, Gerhard Vowe, Philipp Henn, and a group of leading international experts in the field of communication studies guide the reader through the complexities of political communication, and evaluate whether and to what extent existing theoretical approaches and research designs are relevant to the online world. In the first part of the ...

Daniel Völker verankert den kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Framing-Ansatz als zentralen Teil der Krisenkommunikation. Er befragte dazu Praktiker im Bundesfinanzministerium zu Strategien in der Krise und wertete Medienberichte mit einer groß angelegten Framing-Analyse auf strategische Frames aus. Der Autor bietet nicht nur theoretische und methodische Hinweise zur Weiterentwicklung der Krisen- und Framing-Forschung, sondern gibt auch Einblicke in die Genese von Kommunikationsstrategien. Die einschneidende Finanzkrise 2008/09 zeigt, dass Deutungswettbewerbe im Krisenmodus intensiv untersucht werden müssen, da sie über die Legitimierung von Organisationen hinaus gesellschaftliche Veränderungen ermöglichen.
