The Role of Communication Media in Socio-Environmental Conflicts

In recent decades, certain environment-related issues have come into the public eye. This article aims to analyse socio-environmental conflicts from both a democratic and a communication policy perspective. Given that these socio-environmental conflicts are the response to public policies, this article seeks to study the role played by the media in shaping them. The study focuses on the Basque Country, where many socio-environmental conflicts arise due to the implementation of public environmental policies. The methodology includes quantitative analysis using the data obtained from conducting a press analysis, and a qualitative approach using information obtained from in-depth interviews and the analysis of documentation. The results suggest a communicational and democratic deficit in the socio-environmental conflicts analysed, since the media do not help to build public opinion in a dialogical and dialectical way. To address this, we need a more diverse field of communication beneficial for environmental issues, so that we can work on information, considering the perspectives of all actors and the main topics of discussion. Environmental issues should go beyond traditional representative policies, inviting a broader range of actors in debates.

The Case for Self-Education. The Self-Help Manuals of the Communication Centre of Scientific Knowledge for Self-Reliance

This paper addresses self-help manuals presenting planning, building and survival knowledge in the form of comic strips. They were designed by the Communication Centre of Scientific Knowledge for Self-Reliance (CCSK) and distributed globally, with a particular focus on India. The CCSK, founded in 1982-83 by architects Yona Friedman and Eda Schaur and funded by the United Nations University (UNU), imagined a multidirectional exchange of different forms of expertise, taking the knowledge and agency of non-professionals into account and aiming to question conventional concepts of the expert. This paper asks how different forms of expertise were acknowledged, constructed, and challenged in the CCSK manuals. It situates Schaur and Friedman’s work within the discourse on self-help in general and on “appropriate technology” and the role of communication media and visualization techniques in development aid in particular. Although the knowledge transfer from “developing countries” to industrialized ones remained largely imaginary, the CCSK contributed to establishing development as a global and mutual learning process, a concept especially advocated by the UNU.

THE DYNAMICS OF COMMUNICATION MEDIA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY MINING COMPANIES IN INDONESIA

Mining areas where there should be a prosperous society, are in fact very contradictory to the high poverty rate there. The activities of mining companies have actually caused many natural disasters, not to mention the problem of post-mining holes, which so far have also claimed many lives because many of them are still left open and not immediately reclaimed. East Kalimantan and South Sumatera are the two provinces in Indonesia that have the most natural damage due to mining activities there. Kaltim Prima Coal, and Bukit Asam Company as the largest mining company there, have actually tried to manage their post-mining areas by implementing CSR programs to improve the welfare of the community, but this seems not to have been optimal. Several demonstrations were carried out by the community both in East Kalimantan and South Sumatera to demand an increase in the quality of life. Seeing this problem, the role of communication media is needed to be able to communicate effective and effective CSR programs for the community, so that there will be good acceptance and support from the community to jointly preserve the environment. This research is a qualitative research with a case study method, where researchers will examine how the dynamics of digital communication media management carried out by Kaltim Prima Coal and Bukit Asam Company to communicate their CSR programs. The results of the research are expected to provide an overview of how effective the management of digital communication media from the implementation of the CSR program by Kaltim Prima Coal and Bukit Asam Company is so that later it can become a reference for the CSR program communication process carried out by the company.

The Symbolism of Nasi Tumpang Culinary And the Role of Communication Media in an Effort to Preserve The Local Cultural Identity of Boyolali Community

This study aims to determine the cultural symbols attached to the Nasi Tumpang Traditional Culinary and the meaning of the symbols in the social interaction of the Boyolali community. G.H. Mead's thoughts on symbolic interactionism as an analytical knife in this study. The results of this study indicate that the symbols attached to Nasi Tumpang Culinary have become cultural symbols of the Boyolali people. The symbols are that the ingredients used to process Nasi Tumpang are traditional ingredients, the process of processing Nasi Tumpang uses manual and traditional methods, the presentation of food is served using banana leaves as plates and spoons, and the tradition of eating Nasi Tumpang is in morning. In the concept of mind, the Boyolali community interprets Nasi Tumpang which is made from traditional ingredients, traditional processing, unique food presentation, and the tradition of eating this unique food as symbols of cultural heritage. These symbols cannot be replaced because they can change the order of taste and values of existing cultural traditions. In the concept of self, Boyolali people have the urge to learn how to process Nasi Tumpang using recipes and methods of cultural heritage that are passed down from generation to generation. In the concept of society, the Ngiras tradition is the result of interactions and relationships formed by the Boyolali community in enjoying Nasi Tumpang where the atmosphere of togetherness is in the interaction. The preservation of Nasi Tumpang as a Cultural Identity of Local Boyolali Culinary is not only done through active community, such as selling, buying, or by teaching the next generation about the processing of Nasi Tumpang, but also through communication of the role of the media. However, the use of communication media as a means of disseminating local culinary information has not run optimally in the Boyolali community.

The role of communication medium in increasing e-waste recycling awareness among higher educational institutions

Purpose This paper aims to test the effectiveness of communication platforms in conveying the importance of sustainability messages focusing on electronic waste (e-waste) recycling. While corporate communication has been explored well, this research explores the influence of communication medium on the shift in attitude and behavioural intention of higher education students. Design/methodology/approach An experimental design approach was used with quantitative data analysis to address the research questions. Findings The results revealed that the text form of communication was more effective in conveying the e-waste recycling message. Students demonstrated a significant shift in attitude and call for action when they read the sustainability article instead of watching a video with the same message. Practical implications With several universities trying to integrate sustainability in their curriculum, this research provides guidelines on effective communication methods for students. It also sheds light on the choice of platforms that can be used by organisations to reach out to their employees to convey sustainability-related messages. Originality/value The paper addresses sustainability communication in a university by exploring the best method of communication. The results open up new conversations on the media richness theory in the context of sustainability.

Techno-emotional mediations of transnational intimacy: social media and care relations in long-distance Romanian families

The transnational circulation of intimate care is increasingly mediated by digital communications. Research conceptualizing long-distance emotional intimacy in terms of ‘care chains’ has been influential in understanding international care economies. Yet, this framework has limitations for theorizing the role of media in communications of care. With a focus on the ‘left-behind’ family members of Romanian economic migrants, this paper investigates how the use of social media apps and mobile devices within the context of a major intra-EU labor migration phenomenon helps people stay in touch with their transnationally mobile loved ones. It draws on interview material elicited among the close family members of Romanian labor migrants living in Bucharest and surrounding areas. The analysis focuses on the sensory role of social media platforms and the materiality of smartphones in shaping relations of long-distance emotional care. Showing how video calling and photo sharing practices produce emotional experiences that are specific to contemporary combinations of platform-device technicity and social sensitization, the paper argues for conceptualizing transnational care as a mediated emotional experience. By theorizing the role of media in how care is not merely transferred but felt through mediation, the paper demonstrates how media practices produce a techno-emotional mediation of transnational care.

Deliberate Knowledge Seekers: How Actors Use Media to Build Tie Strength Before Knowledge Transfer

Interpersonal knowledge transfer requires both the seeker and source of knowledge to dedicate considerable time and effort to move the knowledge from one person to another. One way to ease knowledge transfer is to ensure that the knowledge seeker and knowledge source have a sufficiently strong relationship, that is, a relationship strength that can support the effort required for transferring desired knowledge. Problems arise when knowledge seekers do not have a sufficiently strong tie with a knowledge source. In these cases, knowledge seekers may find a different source of needed knowledge or gain access through an intermediate actor. We argue, however, that knowledge seekers often engage in a more direct alternative: they attempt to improve their relationship with the knowledge source before they ask for needed knowledge. In this paper, we hypothesize about how knowledge seekers perceive tie strength for knowledge transfer and how they act when tie strength is insufficient. We also theorize about the role of communication media, including face-to-face communication and social networking sites, in improving relationships before knowledge transfer. Evidence gives rise to a theory of anticipated knowledge transfer that contributes to existing literature on both media use and knowledge sharing in organizations.

"Effects of Communication Media, Trust, Accuracy and Completeness on Organizational Commitment"

The role of communication media and attributes of organizational communication were investigated in relation to affective organizational commitment. The literature on organizational commitment has identified a broad range of antecedents. However, frequency of use of various communication media and communication attributes such as trust, accuracy and information completeness have not been examined in relation to organizational commitment. The results supported predictions from media richness theory and media synchronicity theory. However, communication attributes of trust, accuracy and completeness were found to explain greater variance in organizational commitment than the level of use of communication media. Keywords: organizational commitment, media richness, trust.

Upward influence tactics through technology-mediated communication tools

The globalization of work within organizations has generated a greater need for all types of workers to exert interpersonal influence through technology-mediated communication tools. This paper sheds light on the interpersonal relations process in virtual environments from the specific perspective of the choice of upward influence (UI) tactics. We suggest that virtual work settings may impact the UI tactic selected, as well as the communication medium used to enact it. In particular, we study whether the types of UI strategies found in physical environments are relevant in virtual work contexts. This research also analyzes the UI process in virtual work settings, as well as the role of communication media in that process. Results based on the qualitative analysis of the content of 14 interviews suggest that there is an influence tactic specific to virtual work relations. That tactic might be called intermediation and consists of finding an intermediary who is well connected to the target and can help define the best approach for the agent. In addition, workers often split their influence attempts into a two-step strategy in order to achieve better results, taking advantage of the capabilities of the media available for that purpose.

Evolution of cognitive trust in distributed software development teams: a punctuated equilibrium model

A significant body of literature has addressed trust in distributed teams. However, several important issues such as 1) trust in distributed software development teams, 2) the evolution of cognitive trust, and 3) the role of communication media in trust development have not been adequately addressed. The objective of this paper is to address the void discussed above by conducting a longitudinal study to examine the evolution of cognitive trust among distributed software development teams from USA and Norway or Switzerland. The results suggest that cognitive trust develops in accordance with the tenets of the Punctuated Equilibrium Model (PEM). Additionally, our study also suggests that different factors are important for trust building during the different stages of a software development project. The findings contribute to the body of trust research and to practice by identifying stages in a software development project during which managerial intervention can help elevate trust levels.

Perceived communication outcomes in computer-mediated communication: An analysis of three systems among new users

This study investigates group members' perceived communication outcome variables across three CMC systems. The outcome variables were perceived satisfaction, decision confidenece, immediacy, effectiveness, and system ease of use. The role of communication medium and individual characteristic, specifically gender, on perception differences was explored. The results lend support to the argument that perception of communication outcomes differs by CMC medium, gender, and group gender composition status. Specifically there were medium effects for all the five outcome variables. Gender effect was found for three of the variables, which consist of perceived immediacy, decision confidence, and effectiveness. Interaction of medium and gender, and group composition status effects were also found for these three variables. The results also provide some support to the notion that perception changes over time. The discussion addresses implications for mixed gender group and CMC interaction.

Role of communication media in nutrition knowledge and awareness. An Indian urban study

A questionnaire survey was carried out on 480 adults (>18 years of age) from households of government employees residing in their official residential complex in Hyderabad and belonging to different socio-economic categories. The study involved assessment of dietary knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of the study community, status pertaining to exposure to communication media and usage as well as interplay of these aspects with different socio-economic parameters. Data generated by the study identified many gaps in the dietary KAP and limitations in communication media exposure and utilisation. The need for information on several aspects relating to nutritional value of foods and their usage was apparent among the lower educational and income groups. A close relationship between the extent of exposure to communication media and usage and the pattern of dietary knowledge and practices was elucidated. Women needed greater exposure to media to improve dietary KAP. Education (particularly among women) a...
