This research uses primary and secondary historical sources to demonstrate that the American branch of the international peace movement was using press releases decades before Lee’s birth. Starting at least as early as 1819, the movement disseminated press releases to newspapers. This program of sending out press releases increased in size until it was reaching as many as 1,000 separate newspapers in the 1840s. At that time, a young advocate named Elihu Burritt took over the operation. Using a newspaper loophole in postage laws, Burritt was able to regularly disseminate messages to as many as 1,500 separate newspapers, averaging over 200 article placements per message and reaching hundreds of thousands of newspaper readers. This research discusses implications for public relations history.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48263,"journal":{"name":"Public Relations Review","volume":"50 1","pages":"Article 102409"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139035533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Identity resilience in times of mediatization: Comparing employees’ with citizens’ perceptions of a public organization","authors":"Irina Lock ,&nbsp;Sandra Jacobs","doi":"10.1016/j.pubrev.2023.102416","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.pubrev.2023.102416","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Some organizations are highly visible in the media. This media coverage informs employees about others’ perceptions of their organization. Consequently, perceived visibility may be related to how employees think about their organization and how they construe organizational identity. This study empirically tests this proposition. It therefore combines aspects of Hatch &amp; Schultz’ model of organizational identity dynamics with mediatization to understand to what extent employees are sensitive toward their environment when forming an organizational identity. In two online surveys comparing employees’ (<em>N =</em> 109) and a representative sample of citizens’ (<em>N</em> = 1417) views on a highly visible Dutch public organization from the crime sector, we disentangle the identity-reputation process considering the role of perceived media impact. We further compare identity perceptions of two intraorganizational sub-groups. We find that citizens view the organization more positively than employees, which points to a misalignment between employees’ and citizens’ perceptions of the organization. In one of the two organizational sub-groups, the findings show that the larger the misalignment between construed reputation (how do employees think that citizens perceive their organization?) and actual reputation (how do citizens in fact perceive the organization?), the weaker employees’ perception of identity. Furthermore, employees appear to be sensitive toward the media coverage of their organization and citizens’ reputation perceptions. Yet, this environmental sensitivity does not impact on their organizational identity. We interpret this as a resilient identity, which represents the maneuvering of employees between their organizational identity perception (what they perceive as central, distinct, and enduring) and external stakeholders’ (i.e., the media, citizens) perceptions of the organization that over time positively distinguishes what the organization is and will remain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48263,"journal":{"name":"Public Relations Review","volume":"50 1","pages":"Article 102416"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0363811123001315/pdfft?md5=d0bfeb2af00a541bbec9b0517f3c1c6b&pid=1-s2.0-S0363811123001315-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139029417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, parks and recreation has been overlooked in the public relations literature as citizens and government collectively support these lifelines of community wellbeing and social connectedness. Through qualitative analysis of focus groups with city residents and interviews with city parks and recreation personnel, I present thematic findings that explicate how citizens and city staff engage in community building and the specific role that leisure plays in community building processes.

Despite its growing popularity in the business and investment sectors, ESG has yet gained momentum in public relations research. The purpose of this study is to develop a Perceived ESG Scale (P-ESG), a valid and reliable measure to examine public perceptions of an organization’s ESG activities. Following a legitimate procedure of scale development, this study developed a three-dimensional P-ESG scale with 26 items. A series of measures (i.e., content validity, construct validity, concurrent validity, and predictive validity) were implemented to test the validity of the scale. The results indicate that the P-ESG is a reliable and valid assessment tool that can be applied to examine public’s perception on organizations’ ESG performance. The present study also revealed the superiority of the P-ESG model over the corporate social reliability (CSR) model in predicting attitudinal as well as behavioral outcomes of the public (i.e., corporate reputation, purchase intention, investment intention). The Perceived ESG Scale would aid PR research on ESG, providing theoretical insight into how an organization's ESG initiatives lead to concrete behavioral results and business achievements. Such research can highlight the importance of incorporating PR into an organization's ESG outcomes by determining whether key stakeholders and the public endorse the organization's ESG initiatives and achievements.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":48263,"journal":{"name":"Public Relations Review","volume":"50 1","pages":"Article 102398"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138448087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
