ONLINE PRESS RELEASES IN DIGITAL PUBLIC RELATIONS: A REVIEW OF AIRLINES' PRESS RELEASES

Press releases, typically prepared by public relations departments to notify the public and the press about important developments, continue to be frequently utilized tools. Press releases are essential in public relations for announcing newsworthy items, such as product launches, quarterly earnings, mergers, or important updates. As in various fields, digitalisation has changed and transformed some tools and methods in public relations. However, press releases, one of the oldest public relations tools, are still used by organisations' communication departments for the same purposes. Due to digitalisation, press releases are now posted on businesses' websites and social media pages. For this reason, the press releases published by the four airlines on their corporate websites were analysed in this study. The main objective of the research is to identify the message content in press releases and how it aligns with public relations objectives. For this purpose, all press releases issued by four airline companies in 2023 were analysed using content analysis. In this context, it was determined that airline companies issued press releases in a total of nine different categories. These categories are press releases named Public Announcement, New Route, Corporate Social Responsibility, Financial - Earnings, Innovation & Technology, New Partnership, Award Announcement, Product - Service Launch, and Sponsorship. As a result, it was concluded that these press releases also serve airlines' marketing and public relations purposes.

The impact of quality awards on the financial performance of manufacturing industries. Evidence from the Delta region of China

Following provincial quality awards announcements, this study explores whether winners’ financial performance is significantly impacted by the quality award, using OLS and PSM-DID techniques. A placebo parallel trend model is adopted to re-estimate dynamic firms financial performance and test the robustness of the findings. The results show that the quality award significantly impacts manufacturing firms’ financial performance. The regional quality award has significant positive benefits for first-time winners and winning firms located in the Delta region of China. There is a significant positive relationship between the firms’ financial performance and the achievement of quality awards in the long run. The findings expand the research to the relationship between quality awards and firm market value in various institutional contexts. The positive association between a quality award and financial performance confirms the implication for policymakers and the government that a reasonable quality award reduces the quality problem, increases firm value, and supports the awards mechanism in China.

Government awards to CEOs

AbstractThis paper investigates the value and corporate governance consequences of government awards for a sample of French CEOs appointed to the national Order of the Legion of Honor (Légion d'honneur). Short‐term market reactions surrounding award announcements are significantly positive, whereas the valuation of firms with awarded CEOs is greater than that of (matched) firms with nonawarded CEOs. We explore the channels through which government awards create value and find evidence that they provide awarded CEOs and their firms with increased political access. We also observe that government awards are associated with better corporate governance in that awarded CEOs are more likely to be fired for poor performance. The negative effects that have been documented for media awards and are associated with CEOs’ superstar status do not seem to apply to state awards.

Competition Behind Competition: State-Sponsored Awards, Political Tournaments, and Corporate Participation in Poverty Alleviation in China

Research has thus far suggested mixed effects of awards on the behavior of nonwinning firms. We draw from research on interorganizational spillover to study under what conditions state-sponsored awards motivate nonwinning firms to increase their efforts. We contend that, when government officials—an important institutional agent—are under competitive pressure from their own rivals to pursue the state goal, they are more motivated to promote the awards and trigger peer emulation, resulting in interorganizational spillover following the bestowal of awards. In turn, nonwinning firms with a greater need for government-controlled resources are more responsive to the spillover effect promoted by local officials. We test our theory with government awards to firms in China’s state-initiated poverty alleviation program. Analysis of Chinese publicly listed firms from 2016 to 2019 shows that following antipoverty award announcements, nonwinning firms improved their poverty alleviation effort more when their local government officials faced stronger competitive pressure in poverty reduction from their own close-rival officials. Notably, such spillover effects did not occur when local officials faced low competitive pressure. Our study contributes to research on interorganizational spillover and awards as well as how the state can encourage firms to tackle grand challenges.

Il/legitimate? Annie Ernaux’s contentious path to the Nobel Prize

ABSTRACT This article analyses the mass media reception of Annie Ernaux’s 2022 Nobel Prize, particularly the criticisms in the French press. After the award announcement, Ernaux was at once celebrated for her feminist writing and vilified for her socio-ethnographic approach and political engagements. French journalists and critics have deemed her Nobel illegitimate, calling into question the Swedish Academy’s choice. The article probes the concept of ‘il/legitimacy’ by drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of culture and by reading Ernaux’s award within three contexts: the history of the Nobel Prize in Literature; mass media evaluations of her works’ aesthetic value; and literary debates about the impact of authors’ politics on their candidacy to the Nobel. I argue that the legitimacy of Ernaux’s Nobel Prize is the result of a process of cultural negotiation involving authors, texts, and individual as well as institutional agents. Becoming a Nobel laureate is a lengthy process that needs to be examined in the light of all these factors.

KOREAN MUSIC AWARDS AND ABNORMAL STOCK RETURNS

The global success of the K-pop music industry impacts the investment climate of the entertainment industry in the South Korean stock market. One of the driving factors attracting investors is the awards obtained by the K-pop idols. Hence, this event study investigates whether idols’ receiving awards creates stock abnormal returns (ARs) and cumulative abnormal returns (CARs). We collected five-day stock price data surrounding the events from 2018 to 2019 for the four entertainment companies. Using mean difference tests, we analyzed the movements of the stock returns. Our results show the appearance of positive and negative ARs dan CARs, indicating that investors react differently to the information contained in award announcements. This implies a deviance from the efficient market hypothesis and that investors behave irrationally whom investment decision affects the market. For this reason, companies should select awards when involving their idols.

Gender and the invisibility of care on Wikipedia

Digital platforms produce bias and inequality that have a significant impact on peoples’ sense of self, agency and life chances. Wikipedia has largely evaded the criticism of other algorithmic systems like Google search and training databases like ImageNet, but Wikipedia is a critical source of representation in our current era – not only because it is one of the world's most popular websites, but because its data are being used as training data for the AI systems that are increasingly used for decision-making. We conducted an analysis of Wikipedia biographies in a national context, comparing the temporality and subjects of notability between English Wikipedia and the Australian Honours system in order to understand Wikipedia's unique role in the production of notability over the site's 20-year history. Framing Wikipedia as an active producer (rather than a reflection) of notability, we demonstrate that women are more likely to be awarded a Wikipedia page after the award announcements or not at all if their contribution is for labour relating to the caring professions than if their service is for sports, arts and films, politics or the judiciary. We argue that Wikipedia's inability to recognise gendered care work as noteworthy is mirrored in its own practices.
