ABSTRACT The present review examines whether commonalities and differences can be detected in the content of eudaimonic entertainment. We focused on two features: the fundamental human needs that were threatened, and the specific virtues that were portrayed. The results showed that the examined materials often included a combination of portrayals of threats to the fundamental human needs for safety, health and relatedness, and portrayals of the virtue of humanity, like love and kindness. Two subcategories could be distinguished in the materials, one in which the focus is on the portrayal of virtue as an answer to threatened needs, and one in which the focus is on the portrayal of threatened needs in which characters struggle even though they also have virtue.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic sparked a tremendous interest in the scienti fi c com-munity that not only massively increased scienti fi c output in general (see ‘ paperdemic ’ ; Valencise et al., 2022; see Lin & Nan, 2022 speci fi cally for Communication). Across the board, some claimed that these publications also included ‘ faster ’ case reports, comments, editorials, or letters to the editor (Carvalho et al., 2020) that simultaneously represent the lowest levels of the evidence pyramid with a higher risk of bias (Murad et al., 2016). In Communication, special issues have tackled speci fi c aspects of the global pandemic (e.g. Nan & Thompson, 2021; Ratzan, 2020), and in this special issue of the Annals of the ICA, we aimed at taking the current COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to re fl ect upon key concepts in Communication. In fast-paced times like these, it seemed relevant to us to take a step back and re fl ect on whether the most prominent concepts in Communication were, are, and will be helpful to not only address the current challenges still posed by COVID-19, but also future crises. The four peer-reviewed papers featured in this special issue address important conceptual take-aways from past experiences and provide a perspective for the future taking COVID-19 as an opportunity to re fl ect about core concepts in communication across the fi eld ’ s subdisciplines. In the fi rst paper (alphabetical order), Holbert et al. discuss the COVID-19 pandemic against the backdrop of four conceptually di ff erent, theoretically relevant boundary conditions that are highly informative for theory building.

冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行引发了科学界的巨大兴趣，不仅在总体上大幅增加了科学产出(见“paperdemic”;Valencise et al.， 2022;参见Lin & Nan, 2022，专门用于通信)。总体而言，一些人声称这些出版物还包括“更快”的病例报告、评论、社论或给编辑的信(Carvalho et al.， 2020)，同时代表了证据金字塔的最低水平，具有更高的偏见风险(Murad et al.， 2016)。在传播方面，专题讨论了全球大流行病的具体方面(例如，Nan & Thompson, 2021年;Ratzan, 2020年)，在本期《国际通信协会年鉴》特刊中，我们旨在以当前的COVID-19大流行为契机，反思传播中的关键概念。在这样一个快节奏的时代，我们似乎有必要退后一步，反思传播学中最突出的概念是否不仅有助于应对COVID-19仍然构成的当前挑战，而且有助于应对未来的危机。本期特刊中刊载的四篇同行评议论文阐述了从过去经验中获得的重要概念，并为未来提供了一个视角，以2019冠状病毒病为契机，反思该领域各分支学科交流中的核心概念。在第一篇论文(按字母顺序排列)中，Holbert等人在四个概念不同但理论上相关的边界条件的背景下讨论了COVID-19大流行，这些边界条件对理论构建具有很高的信息性。Holbert等人首先介绍了外部和内部as

I appreciate the work undertaken to better understand the fi eld ’ s penchants, proclivities, and pertur-bations concerning open scholarship. There is much to consider, and it is wise for the fi eld to give careful thought to the full range of potential e ff ects (intended v unintended, positive v negative) stemming from a shift in how scholars go about their business of generating knowledge. In a former life, I earned a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from Syracuse University ’ s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public A ff airs. As a result, I look at the open scholarship debate as a conversation about a change in policy. Inherent in any new policy are some relative advantages (which is why it is being put forward) and some relative weaknesses. Proponents of a change tend to prioritize and overempha-size a new policy ’ s strengths. As a result, a multitude of unintended negative consequences become evident only after the new policy is enacted. In addition, a discarding of the old policy means that some of its relative advantages will no longer be available to those who need to adhere to the new policy. This combination of gains and losses generates ambivalence, and it seems this is the current cognitive state of the fi eld regarding open scholarship. I take this ambivalence as a good sign that indicates the fi eld is not walking blindly into what could be a momentous change. Maxwell ’ s MPA program also taught me that any new policy will play itself out based on the values that serve as a foundation for its enactment. Values such as transparency, accessibility, control, equity, and replicability are part of the current debate over what should be prioritized when deciding how best to generate knowledge. Many of these values are incompatible with one another. For example, accessibility as a value is promoted through advocating for published works becoming open access. However, securing open access status for peer-reviewed journal pub-lications is not being enacted in a manner that is equitable. I am in favor of more scholarship being made

ABSTRACT With the increasing frequency of transboundary crises in the twenty-first century – examples from the past are the financial crisis, the migration crisis and the current coronavirus pandemic – the need for political leadership beyond national borders is growing. As public visibility is an essential leadership resource with regard to transboundary leadership, the question arises of how media construct and thus legitimize political leadership in transboundary crises. The basic theoretical assumption is that perceived leadership in a transboundary crisis results from publicly observable processes of attributing responsibility beyond geographical and hierarchical boundaries. Consequently, a tool for capturing attribution statements, their senders and addressees as well as their reasoning in the media coverage is presented.

ABSTRACT This paper applies indexing theory to test whether U.S. television news about COVID-19 covered misinformed elite viewpoints and whether indexing patterns were consistent across networks. We extend theory by investigating an emerging crisis where information was in flux. We conducted a content analysis of U.S. broadcast and cable news coverage of two COVID-19 issues: masks and disinfectants/UV light. Coverage responded to changes in health institution guidance related to mask wearing, but: (a) mentioning partisan elites was related to misleading content, (b) at times mentioning health institutions was related to decreased inclusion of correct information, and (c) at times patterns of indexing differed across networks. Findings suggest that indexing practices may encourage misinformation spread during emerging crises, especially on partisan news.

ABSTRACT While perspectives on open scholarship practices (OSPs) in Communication are noted in editorials and position papers, as a discipline we lack data-driven insights into how the larger community understands, feels about, engages in, and supports OSPs – insights that could inform current conversations about OSPs in Communication and document how the field shifts in response to ongoing discourses around OS in the current moment. A mixed-methodological survey of International Communication Association members (N = 330) suggested widespread familiarity with and support for some OSPs, but less engagement with them. In open-ended responses, respondents expressed several concerns, including reservations about unclear standards, presumed incompatibility with scholarly approaches, fears of a misuse of shared materials, and perceptions of a toxic culture surrounding open scholarship.

ABSTRACT Bowman et al. (2022. How communication scholars see open scholarship. Annals of the International Communication Association, 46(3)) present a survey of ICA members regarding open science beliefs, attitudes, and practices. Rather than an inquiry on open scholarship, it provides a replication of psychology’s approach to open science in content, execution, and reporting. I apply the ethical, inclusive research framework (EIRF) and re-analyze the data, critiquing the inclusiveness and validity of the current survey. Suggestions are offered regarding consent practices, survey design, and open data in future surveys. I close with provocations for ICA regarding their continued pursuit of a problematic open science paradigm.

ABSTRACT Media representation of refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants has emerged as an important area of research. This study offers a systematic overview of the objects and key characteristics of the field. We analyse 119 scholarly articles collected from the EBSCO database. Our results show that research activity has increased dramatically since 2010. However, this increase was not equally distributed; countries that have received the largest numbers of refugees were often among the least studied. Qualitative approaches outnumbered quantitative approaches, and print rather than TV or online outlets remained the preferred media type. Analysis shows an utter lack of research outside the European and North American contexts and highlights the need for more comparative and longitudinal studies.

ABSTRACT Communication technologies such as text-based chat, blogs, virtual reality, and avatars allow people to present deviations from their offline personality or appearance, causing changes to their personality perceptions and social behavior. This review of self-transformation through online self-presentation explores two major paradigms – the discursive approach and the embodiment approach – in terms of the theories on which they draw. It also examines differences and inconsistencies within and between these paradigms with respect to six factors that different studies suggest as critical for self-transformation. It reviews empirical research examining these critical factors, and provides a roadmap for future research testing competing explanations and their generality or specificity across digital platforms.

ABSTRACT The coronavirus pandemic is a unique context that can allow researchers to address boundary conditions. This essay details four different types of boundary conditions and emphasizes they are not created equal. A review of pandemic-related research published in nine communication journals reveals a relative dearth of studies exploring moderation-based effects, with even fewer of the proposed conditional relationships stemming from pandemic-driven rationales. A series of pandemic-as-boundary condition arguments are offered for three theories or models used within the field’s extant pandemic-related research. The proposed insights offered by a pandemic-as-boundary-condition approach are shown to be unique accompaniments to the field’s dominant research agendas. The essay closes with a call for a more systematic approach to identifying, testing, and assessing boundary conditions .
