How normative are communication studies? : a comparative content analysis of German and US-American journal articles
Wie normativ ist die Kommunikationswissenschaft? : ein inhaltsanalytischer Vergleich deutscher und US-amerikanischer Fachzeitschriftenaufsätze. - In: Publizistik, ISSN 1862-2569, Bd. 66 (2021), 1, S. 89-120
Kommunikationswissenschaftliche Forschung ist durch die strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen geprägt, unter denen sie entsteht - etwa durch das Wissenschaftssystem, die gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen an Wissenschaft und das Mediensystem des jeweiligen Landes. Die quantitative Inhaltsanalyse untersucht im Vergleich zwischen Deutschland und den USA, inwiefern sich solche Rahmenbedingungen auf die normativen Vorstellungen auswirken, die Autorinnen aus diesen Ländern in ihren Zeitschriftenaufsätzen zum Ausdruck bringen. Hierzu wenden wir ein dreistufiges Vorgehen zur Identifikation, Systematisierung und Kategorisierung von "Sollensvorstellungen" an und schlagen damit erstmals ein methodisches Verfahren vor, mit dem sich die Normativität von Fachzeitschriftenaufsätzen messen lässt, ohne die zu erfassenden Werte und Normen vorab festzulegen. Indikator für die Normativität der Aufsätze sind die darin artikulierten Sollensvorstellungen und konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen, die sich an verschiedene Gruppen richten können. Die Befunde zeigen keinen Unterschied im Grad der Normativität, wohl aber in den Schwerpunkten, die dabei gesetzt werden: Sollensvorstellungen und Handlungsempfehlungen in den deutschen Aufsätzen konzentrieren sich stärker auf Medien und Journalismus als auf unmittelbare Forschungsgegenstände des Fachs. Die US-amerikanischen Aufsätze hingegen weisen mit Schwerpunkt auf einem gelungenen gesellschaftlichen Zusammenleben stärker über das Fach hinaus und appellieren häufiger an die Verantwortung individueller Akteurinnen. Die Ergebnisse machen deutlich, dass strukturelle Unterschiede - auch vermittelt über die Forschungsgegenstände - die normativen Vorstellungen prägen, die Wissenschaftlerinnen leiten und von ihnen geäußert werden. Damit ruft die Studie die normative Prägung der Kommunikationswissenschaft ins Bewusstsein und liefert neue Erkenntnisse über das Selbstverständnis des Fachs.

Multimodal framing of Germany's national image: comparing news on Twitter (USA) and Weibo (China). - In: Journalism studies, ISSN 1461-670X, Bd. 22 (2021), 16, S. 2256-2278
This article examines multimodal frame construction and presents comparative research regarding Germany's mediated national image. We conducted a quantitative content analysis of 2455 news posts (NUSA = 1722, NChina = 733) published by leading newspapers on Twitter (USA) and Weibo (China) between 2007 and 2019. The results reveal that news texts attribute varying degrees of salience to the dimensions of national image. Chinese news texts portray Germany more positively among most indicators compared to US news texts. News visuals assume more complementary or dramatizing functions in the US context and more elaborated or illustrative roles in the Chinese context. A hierarchical cluster analysis shows how Germany's national image is constructed through textual contents, visual denotations, and text-image relations in multimodal news. German cultural attractions, football excellence, social diversity, and economic performance are commonly visible across both nations, whereas political debate, crisis, and international controversy are largely absent from Chinese news frames. Contexts shape multimodal frames, where the uniformity of coverage is the result of globalized news production and shared journalistic standards such as (visual) news values relating to eliteness, impact, and consonance. National differences are interpreted by contextual factors of political homophily, journalism culture, and platform affordance.

Framing advocacy event: comparing news coverage and Facebook comments of the Belt and Road Forum in Pakistan and the USA. - In: Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia, ISSN 2383-9449, Bd. 20 (2021), 1, S. 1-23
With regard to the recent developments in public diplomacy, the increasing fusion of strategic communication appears necessary. China engages in public diplomacy with a strategic purpose to shape its national image abroad. Hosting diplomatic advocacy event is regarded as an instrument with expectations to present reliable and responsible image and promote international collaborations. The present research focuses on the Belt and Road Forum (BRF) in May 2017 with the objective to analyze its outcomes and influence on the international news agenda, news frames, and foreign citizens' comments online. The quantitative content analyses are used to compare the media reports (N=364) and Facebook users' comments on the selected news (N=957) between the US and Pakistan. Results reveal that Pakistani media provided more diverse frames and attributed more positive evaluations to the BRF than the US media. However, Facebook comments expressed more unfavorable opinions toward the BRF and China's image with rare differences between two countries. In conclusion, the BRF has served as an eye-catching advocacy of Chinese foreign policy, as it influenced the news agenda in two selected countries. However, news frames vary due to the differences in media system and the involvement in the BRF. China's public diplomacy practices follow a traditional top-down communication which needs meticulous subdivision of target stakeholders, delicate messaging strategies, and integrated tactics.

Rhetoricians of the past: rhetorical history and the crafting of organizational identity. - In: Academy of Management proceedings, ISSN 2151-6561, Bd. 2021 (2021), 1, insges. 1 S.
The past is a central element in crafting an organizational identity. However, the past is interpreted subjectively, resulting in ambiguity and multiplicity of interpretations. This study investigates the use of rhetorical history in crafting an organizational identity by analyzing differences between an organization as an actor and organizational members in applying rhetorical history. Our analysis is grounded on the self-representations of 28 watchmaking firms located in two watchmaking clusters in Germany based on their Web pages and interviews with 75 current and former members of watchmaking firms in these two clusters. Our results reveal that there are differences between the organization as an actor and its members not only regarding which claims of rhetorical history they emphasized but also with respect to the temporal and content-wise past to which they refer. While they share a pattern in terms of temporal structure, the organization as an actor emphasizes both near and distant history, creating a kind of "valley of oblivion," while the members of the organization show a stronger focus on near-history aspects. Our findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of rhetorical history, showing that the use of rhetorical history is strongly influenced by rhetoricians of the past. With a focus on the importance of rhetorical history for crafting an organizational identity, our findings also allow us to draw conclusions about sources of multiple identities and how such identities can emerge - namely, through differentiated rhetorical interpretations of the past by groups of actors.

Factors influencing the extent of category spanning in new ventures: the role of density. - In: Academy of Management proceedings, ISSN 2151-6561, Bd. 2021 (2021), 1, insges. 6 S.
While the effect of category spanning on the success and survival of organizations has been studied extensively, there are comparatively few studies that address factors that influence organizations to do category spanning. Our study addresses such antecedents of category spanning focusing on category density and the moderating effects of regional density, category fuzziness and the founding number.
