ABSTRACT This study maps the online information flow of crisis communication during Hurricane Ida and identifies the top 20 Twitter influencers based on their betweenness centrality. Inspired by media dependency theory, this study explores major crisis information resources by analyzing the top 10 domains in the information network of Hurricane Ida. The findings suggest that news media remain the major information resource of social media users. Social media and news media tend to exchange crisis information. By analyzing the content of the top 10 URLs, the authors discover that most crisis contents focus on the New York City flood, death tolls of Hurricane Ida, evacuation failures, political critiques, and rescue efforts. Theoretical insights into mapping online crisis information flow, exploring media dependency during a crisis, and unpacking crisis communication patterns are offered. Practical implications for organizations to monitor crisis information flow, increase online influence, and promptly address concerns are discussed.

ABSTRACT Extending the focus and scope of the communication theory of identity (CTI), this paper introduces a new theoretical construct within CTI’s interpenetration of frames – identity bridging. Theoretical extensions of CTI have established identity gaps, which are inconsistencies between individuals’ personal, enacted, relational, communal, and material identities. Identity bridges represent individuals’ responses to identity gaps. Identity bridging consists of psychological, behavioral, and communicative responses to identity gaps. This paper aims to define identity bridging, outline how past literature advocates the validity of the new construct, examine how identity bridging can be integrated into CTI, explore the relationship between identity gaps and identity bridging, propose extensions to CTI’s current assumptions, and discuss implications and future research directions.

ABSTRACT Do family communication patterns or family conflict history affect the intention to correct misinformation shared by family members? A pre-registered online survey with a U.S. sample (N = 595) was conducted to answer this question. Results revealed that conversation orientation and conformity orientation positively predicted the intention to correct misinformation shared by a family member while family history was negatively related with intent. Theoretical implications for family communication research and study of misinformation correction are discussed.

ABSTRACT The concept of enthymeme has been discussed by rhetoricians and communication scholars. However, researchers have not been able to come to a clear understanding about its meaning, function, and how it works within the rhetorical, persuasive processes. This article identifies the meaning of the concept and explain how enthymemes work. The article also distinguishes the enthymeme from its logical counterpart – syllogism – and explains how its primary source is doxastic, rather than epistemic, knowledge.

ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the rhetorics of social and economic protest surrounding the 2021 short squeeze where swarms of gamers-made-investors used the popular trading app Robinhood to create artificial demands for shorted stocks such as GameStop and AMC. Fueled by populist rhetoric on subreddit forum, r/WallStreetBets, the movement created a short-lived bubble that cost hedge funds billions. I argue that investors were subjectivized by market-based agencies through anger and nostalgia during a COVID-19 period when many were feeling powerless. Through market jamming, investors temporarily used the market, and its neoliberal rationalities, against itself and created new spaces for agency. While market jamming comes with real financial risks, such as a rhetorical panic, it also shows how investors can use détournement in the marketplace.

ABSTRACT Podcasts are increasingly utilized in mental health contexts, such as communicating advice around improving wellbeing, guided meditations, psychoeducation, and translating research findings. This study aimed to explore demographics, motivations, behaviors, and attitudes of podcast listeners regarding podcasts dealing with content and themes related to mental health. Adult Australian podcast listeners (N = 629) completed a cross-sectional online survey including the Acquisition Questionnaire (AQ-9), the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS) and the Internalised Stigma of Mental Illness scale (ISMI-9). Approximately one third had listened to a mental health-themed podcast in the last 12 months. Logistic regression models showed people who listened to a mental health-themed podcast held fewer stigmatizing attitudes toward people experiencing mental health issues on the AQ-9 (OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.9–1.0, p < .001), and had higher levels of mental health knowledge on the MAKS (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2, p < .01). However, there was no significant relationship with internalized stigma on the ISMI-9 (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.9–2.3, p = .2). Future research is needed to determine if such podcasts indeed impact listeners’ attitudes and behaviors, and, if they do, how podcasts can be used for effective communication around mental health content.
播客越来越多地应用于心理健康领域，如沟通关于改善健康、指导冥想、心理教育和翻译研究成果的建议。本研究旨在探讨播客听众对处理与心理健康相关的内容和主题的播客的人口统计学、动机、行为和态度。澳大利亚成年播客听众(N = 629)完成了一项横断面在线调查，包括获得性问卷(AQ-9)、心理健康知识表(MAKS)和精神疾病内化污名量表(ISMI-9)。大约三分之一的人在过去12个月里听过以心理健康为主题的播客。Logistic回归模型显示，收听以心理健康为主题的播客的人在iq -9测试中对有心理健康问题的人持较少的污名化态度(OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.9-1.0, p < .001)，并且在MAKS测试中具有较高的心理健康知识水平(OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0 - 1.2, p < .01)。然而，在ISMI-9量表上，内化病耻感没有显著关系(OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.9-2.3, p = 0.2)。未来的研究需要确定这些播客是否真的影响听众的态度和行为，如果确实如此，播客如何被用于围绕心理健康内容的有效沟通。

Abstract This essay is a close analysis of then Vice-Presidential nominee Mike Pence’s October 2016 speech in Charlotte, NC, where he aimed to rescue Donald Trump’s presidential campaign from the damaging impact of the Access Hollywood Tape. In his speech, I argue that Pence enacted what I call a vicarious consubstantiality, a form of consubstantiality taken from Kenneth Burke’s theories on identification and division that refer to a “one-ness” between people. As there were breaches in consubstantial bonds linking Trump to voters abandoning him in the wake of the Access Hollywood Tape, Pence served as a third party to re-establish these bonds. I suggest, in vicarious consubstantiality, that this third party must bridge differences by using key terms from a shared substance to define differences away from one party and toward another party – a shared enemy. This action demonstrates that the Burkean notion of consubstantiality is not only understood by how one party identifies with a second party, but how a third party can vicariously reestablish identification between two parties who sever ties.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the stage-specific nature of media coverage of a large-scale dengue outbreak in Bangladesh. We employed the three-stage model of crisis communication and the extended parallel process model as an integrated theoretical framework. A content analysis of two years (2019–2020) of media coverage (N = 615) showed that the number of dengue-related threat messages was significantly higher during the precrisis and crisis response stages than the postcrisis recovery stage. By delivering higher threat messages during the early phase, the media successfully alerted their audience about the forthcoming dengue crisis. During the crisis stage, when people are expected to engage with the crisis responses, efficacy messages are critical, along with threat messages. However, the number of efficacy messages was relatively low across the stages. Coverage of efficacy messages was not significantly different across the crisis stages. The findings also revealed significant relationships with the nature of media coverage and source types and story types. Findings have implications for public health crisis communication and management.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to understand the identity negotiation of Christians who practice polyamory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eighteen polyamorous Christians. The data was then qualitatively analyzed using the communication theory of identity. The findings indicated that identity gaps in the personal, relational, and communal frames were produced by mononormative discourses of Christian identity. Participants navigated these identity gaps by redefining the boundaries of Christian identity and utilizing various strategies to maintain, strengthen, and assert these redefined boundaries. This study contributes to critical interpersonal and family communication research by applying CTI to polyamorous Christians, supporting and extending research on identity gap navigation, and focusing on processes of hegemony and resistance in identity gap navigation.

ABSTRACT The 2020 American election saw a record-breaking number of women vying for the Democratic presidential nomination and ended with Kamala Harris shattering the second-highest, hardest glass ceiling—the vice presidency. This significant event should not be taken for granted, but it is a mistake to assume sexism is no longer prevalent in American politics. This essay furthers our 2009 analysis of media frames that applied Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s archetypes of women leaders—iron maiden, sex object, mother, pet—to coverage of women seeking the presidency and vice presidency since 2008. We find substantial evidence that the iron maiden and sex object are still common frames and evolved based on changing trends, specific women, and racial stereotypes. We conclude by arguing these frames have real-world implications for how women candidates are evaluated and how they might impact a woman’s chances to win the presidency.
