Communicating Endangered Species: Extinction, News and Public Policy (Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media)
by Eric Freedman Sara Shipley Hiles David B. SachsmanCommunicating Endangered Species: Extinction, News, and Public Policy is a multidisciplinary environmental communication book that takes a distinctive approach by connecting how media and culture depict and explain endangered species with how policymakers and natural resource managers can or do respond to these challenges in practical terms. Extinction isn’t new. However, the pace of extinction is accelerating globally. The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies more than 26,000 species as threatened. The causes are many, including climate change, overdevelopment, human exploitation, disease, overhunting, habitat destruction, and predators. The willingness and the ability of ordinary people, governments, scientists, nongovernmental organizations, and businesses to slow this deeply disturbing acceleration are uncertain. Meanwhile, researchers around the world are laboring to better understand and communicate the possibility and implications of extinctions and to discover effective tools and public policies to combat the threats to species survival. This book presents a history of news coverage of endangered species around the world, examining how and why journalists and other communicators wrote what they did, how attitudes have changed, and why they have changed. It draws on the latest research by chapter authors who are a mix of social scientists, communication experts, and natural scientists. Each chapter includes a mass media and/or cultural aspect. This book will be essential reading for students, natural resource managers, government officials, environmental activists, and academics interested in conservation and biodiversity, environmental communication and journalism, and public policy.
Communicating in Extreme Crises: Lessons from the Edge (Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research)
by Elina Tachkova W. Timothy CoombsThis book is an evidence-based approach to handling common, extreme crises. Extreme crises involve strong moral outrage; moral outrage creates situations where traditional crisis communication advice no longer is effective. These extreme crises create unique demands for crisis managers. Moreover, much of the traditional advice and crisis key performance indicators (KPIs) no longer apply. Validated through research, the book establishes the nature of extreme crises, the optimal crisis response for such crises, and the KPIs (outcomes) crisis managers need to measure for extreme crises. It serves as a guide for how to communicate effectively during extreme crises and provides advice based upon experimental research that validates the effectiveness of the crisis communication interventions. Readers do not require prior knowledge about crisis communication and crisis management as the book contains summaries of crisis communication and management before exploring the more specialized topic of extreme crises. Chapters include extended case studies, examining communication within such events as the Westpac money laundering, VW emissions and COVID-19 crises. Communications in Extreme Crises will be of direct interest to scholars of crisis communication in public relations, corporate communication, strategic communication, organizational communication programs and management.

Communicating Knowledge (Working Methods for Knowledge Management)
by Denise Bedford Ira Chalphin Karen Dietz Karla PhlypoThe communication of knowledge is a core concept in the field of knowledge management and an essential new role and responsibility of business managers. Knowledge capital is the primary source of wealth and the key source of productivity in the knowledge economy. Stockpiling and storing knowledge diminishes its value. It is only through circulation that our knowledge capital realizes its business value. Communicating Knowledge addresses essential management practices in the 21st-century knowledge economy. It speaks to the change that every organization is experiencing as they transition from an industrial to a knowledge organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened an awareness of communications practices in the past year, with communication norms and behaviors being challenged at every level. How we communicate, when we communicate, with whom we communicate, and what we communicate is currently undergoing a global reform. Communication competencies are no longer desirable qualities in managers - they are essential. This book is intended for business managers working at all levels, knowledge management practitioners and scholars, communications professionals, practitioners, and consultants.

Communicating Social Justice in Teacher Education: Insights from a Critical Classroom Ethnography (Routledge Research in Teacher Education)
by Aubrey A. HuberEvolving out of ethnographic fieldwork, this text examines how ideas of social justice are articulated and communicated by pre-service teachers and graduate teaching assistants in the US. By positing the concept of "help" as a central tenet of social justice within teacher education, this volume offers a unique performative analysis of how the concept is communicatively constituted in teacher education and training. Using a social justice framework, the book examines the ways in which new teachers contend with their identities as educators, and demonstrates how these communicative performances influence pre-service and new teachers’ perceptions of their role, as well as their responsibility to engage with social justice and critical approaches in the classroom. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators in higher education with an interest in teacher education, critical communication studies, and the sociology of education more broadly. Those specifically interested in teacher training, mentoring, and social justice in the classroom will also benefit from this book.

Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC): Komponenten, Funktionen und Betrieb
by Lars SchniederInnerstädtische Schienenverkehrssysteme stoßen bei steigender Verkehrsnachfrage zunehmend an ihre Grenzen. Die Sicherheit und die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Verkehrssysteme werden wesentlich durch die eingesetzte Leit- und Sicherungstechnik bestimmt. Eine Ausweitung des Verkehrsangebots erfordert leistungsfähige signaltechnische Systeme, die als Communications-Based Train Control Systeme (CBTC) bezeichnet werden. In diesem Buch stellt der Autor die Systemumgebung dar, in die sich die CBTC-Systeme in Nahverkehrsunternehmen integrieren. Es wird gezeigt, welchen Beitrag die einzelnen Sicherungsfunktionen von CBTC-Lösungen zur Gefährdungsbeherrschung leisten und wie technische Systeme mit zunehmender Automatisierung sukzessive mehr Funktionen vom Menschen übernehmen. Zum Abschluss werden an CBTC-Systeme gestellte nicht-funktionale Anforderungen wie Sicherheit, Verfügbarkeit, Leistungsfähigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit diskutiert und Faktoren einer erfolgreichen Abwicklung komplexer signaltechnischer Erneuerungsprojekte aufgezeigt.Zusätzliche Fragen per App: Laden Sie die Springer Nature Flashcards-App kostenlos herunter und nutzen Sie exklusives Zusatzmaterial, um Ihr Wissen zu prüfen.

Comparative Public Opinion
by Cameron D. Anderson Mathieu TurgeonThis book presents a comprehensive examination of public opinion in the democratic world. Built around chapters that highlight key explanatory frameworks used in understanding public opinion, the book presents a coherent study of the subject in a comparative perspective, emphasizing and interrogating immigration as a key issue of high concern to most mass publics in the democratic world. Key features of the book include: Covers several theoretical issues and determinants of opinion such as the effects of personality, age and life cycle, ideology, social class, partisanship, gender, religion, ethnicity, language, and media, highlighting over time the effects of political, social, and economic contexts. Each chapter explores the theoretical rationale, mechanisms of effect, and use in the scholarly literature on public opinion before applying these to the issue of immigration comparatively and in specific places or regions. Widely comparative using a nine-country sample (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America) in the analysis of individual-level determinants of public opinion about immigration and extending to other countries like Belgium, Brazil, and Japan when evaluating contextual factors. This edited volume will be essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in public opinion, political behaviour, voting behaviour, politics of the media, immigration, political communication, and, more generally, democracy and comparative politics.
