The present study is the first to document the University’s racial integration communication with various stakeholder groups as well as the University’s public relations response and strategy. The study examines the University’s public relations function and the analysis shows how the public relations strategy was to save face when addressing issues raised by its stakeholder groups. The study’s findings demonstrate that the University employed public relations, communications and stakeholder management strategies to “save face” and maintain good rapport with external audiences.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"10 1","pages":"392 - 406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86697866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents unique challenges for African Americans in coping with pandemic-related stigma, specifically with implications for disease testing, treatment, and spread. This research focused on African Americans’ experiences with social stigma during COVID-19. A diverse group of twenty-six African American adults participated in this study, which was guided by the social stigma frameworks of Goffman (1963) and Link and Phelan (2001). Thematic analysis of data suggests that participants expressed that COVID-19 created another layer of stigma and discrimination to manage. Additionally, participants viewed media and public health reports as further stigmatizing Black communities. Participants also reported urgency and responsibility for their well-being and agency in developing opinions on COVID-19 information. Findings offer insight into health communication approaches to address COVID-related stigma in public health messaging.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"62 1","pages":"372 - 391"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80629168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But what is the role of reality TV anyway and do audiences even desire or care to include these conversations in entertainment discussions? In response to the most diverse cast of CBS’ Survivor, this study analyzes 492 social media posts to assess how audiences perceive race on season 41 of this popularized reality TV competition. Specifically, this study explores audiences’ sentiments about CBS’ attempt to intersect diversity initiatives with the show while assessing whether audiences believe Survivor is an appropriate forum to educate about race and engage in racial discourse. Findings suggest that generally audiences watch Survivor solely for entertainment purposes and believe engaging in race conversations presents an unnecessary and problematic distraction, encroaching on their ability to escape reality. Moreover, findings indicate audiences often become offended by these conversations and believe they demonstrate a political agenda, while believing diverse cast members can separate their racial identities from their gameplay, despite Survivor being a social experiment. Such perspectives and their implications including their ability to impede progress toward addressing systemic racial issues are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"126 2-3 1","pages":"407 - 421"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80100409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trump released the photo and tweeted his own interpretation of it; online articles followed discussing descriptions and/or interpretations of the image and the surrounding events. This paper focuses on how the media discourse of this moment reflects views about the expression of power in politics, its tie to emotion and emotionality, and its sometimes subtle connection with gender. Analysis of the articles showed that the media interpreted the nonverbal cues in the photograph as reflective of individual power displays, relative power as enacted through dominance and submissiveness nonverbal cues, and changing relative power through one person’s nonverbal cues lowering another’s apparent power position. It also reflected an existing cultural belief that emotionality and power are generally inconsistent in politics, with some exemptions for anger displays, and the particular challenges of emotional display for women in politics. In doing so, the media coverage continued its masculinization of the political sphere in less visible ways.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"50 1","pages":"422 - 441"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73628971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
