In this essay, we argue dissent expression manifested through frustration and inconsistency illuminate opportunities for organizations to create healthier, happier, and more sustainable workplaces. Grounded by dissent and organizational retention and turnover literature, data for this research were collected through 25 semistructured qualitative interviews with employees who chose to stay with their organization through COVID-19 and analyzed using Tracy’s (2020) phronetic iterative approach. The findings of this study lead to two important theoretical contributions. First, the cyclical process of dissent offers unique opportunities for organizational members to exercise their voice and their organizations to provide community. Second, these findings call for the increased use of qualitative methodology in dissent scholarship, encouraging researchers to seek out “thick description” uniquely accessible through qualitative data immersion.Footnote2 Practical findings from these data present avenues for practitioners to facilitate dissent expression within organizations to encourage retention and promote organizational health.KEYWORDS: dissentorganizational retentionorganizational turnoverCOVID-19Great Resignation AcknowledgementsThe findings reported in the manuscript are original and have not been published previously.

The government communication approach should focus on the meaningful participation of people in vulnerable conditions to achieve the best-possible result. The study examines various factors concerning the inclusivity in communication approaches adopted by the government and subsequent media coverage in India during this crisis. The complete nationwide lockdown tenure is selected for the study to recognize the communication strategy of the government and media in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Two mainstream Indian dailies—The Hindu & The Times of India—have been assessed to analyze the media construction of the pandemic, and 42 websites of central government ministries are also analyzed to frame the nature of governmental communication policy. The study reveals that governmental communication strategies were mainly instructional and confined to the macro level rather than the micro level. During this period, media narratives were mostly associated with governmental initiatives of crisis management. It established government as a powerful social actor while diminishing the voice of other concerned stakeholders in crisis management.","PeriodicalId":53587,"journal":{"name":"Review of Communication","volume":"23 1","pages":"276 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46042896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the important indicators that the index bases the ranking on is the level of violence against the journalists and their overall safety. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government cracked down on the press by reprimanding any form of dissent regarding their policies. This has resulted in journalists from various parts of the country being arrested, detained, and harassed. The much-debated Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 and Disaster Management Act, 2005 were implemented to invoke curbs to contain the spread of coronavirus in India. The paper examines the consequences of the infodemic on the safety of journalists in the context of declining press freedom in the country in the context of the aforementioned acts. The analysis of cases focuses on highlighting how the laws introduced to “contain” the spread of the virus has been used as a tool to gatekeep the truth regarding the implementation of coronavirus policies by way of stifling the voice of journalists. The analysis reveals how various legal, political, and economic factors contribute to the lack of safety of journalists in the country.","PeriodicalId":53587,"journal":{"name":"Review of Communication","volume":"23 1","pages":"210 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46095991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims at filling this knowledge gap by examining the infodemic on Facebook in the context of Thailand, covering a more extended period (19 months). The objectives are to gain insights into how COVID-19 information pollution is propagated and how well the counternarratives penetrate the users, as well as to spell out prevalent types of information pollution and trends. The network analysis result shows that both debunking/fact-checked and information pollution networks are similar in terms of structures and spread patterns, reflecting a disposition of echo chambers. The attempt to distribute counternarratives to empower the users largely could not penetrate those who usually interact with the information pollution or vice versa. Claims about herbal medicines form the largest proportion of the dataset, and this highlights the uniqueness of contextual influence over the infodemic. The lessons learned from this study could contribute to policymaking concerning pandemic communication and media and information literacy. An understanding of the problem in its context could lead to the development of appropriate and effective responses as well as means to tackle the current and future phenomena of the infodemic.","PeriodicalId":53587,"journal":{"name":"Review of Communication","volume":"23 1","pages":"183 - 209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43990405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study fills a gap in the literature, as it addresses where students actually sought support during this time of crisis, and based on this analysis, we offer applications for how universities can be ready to support students even more effectively the next time an unexpected crisis occurs. Implications for institutional social support services at universities and more accessible opportunities for institutional support are discussed. As universities continue to evolve to meet holistic student needs during this stressful time, the evaluation of students’ access to support is discussed. Thus, this investigation bridges a divide between college students’ COVID-related stress and support services by measuring their support-seeking behaviors during the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":53587,"journal":{"name":"Review of Communication","volume":"23 1","pages":"263 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43855453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there was the inherent risk that lockdowns could amplify digital inequalities, especially among low-income ethnic minorities who had higher hesitancy to adopt COVID-19 interventions and poorer clinical outcomes from COVID-19 than the general population. Guided by the culture-centered approach, the present study explores experiences of information and communication technologies and information seeking during a COVID-19 lockdown among Afghan refugee women. We draw from 37 in-depth interviews with community members to show how information and communication technologies offered a means for social connection but simultaneously could (re)produce marginality and communication inequality, with some residents struggling to access information amidst the pandemic. The findings inform a discussion about the role of information and communication technologies as health resources among Afghan refugees that is situated amidst local interplays of culture and structure.","PeriodicalId":53587,"journal":{"name":"Review of Communication","volume":"23 1","pages":"293 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43866006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
