“…More concretely, meso-oriented studies of organizational crises can be conducted as a more explicit contribution to when these organizational crises lead to societal crises. The concept of reputation can be useful in empirical analyses as dependent variable -the question being how and why the reputation sinks not only in the case of few organizations but on the level of sectors and organizational types and especially regarding powerful organizations and institutions (Eisenegger, 2018). Holistic case studies of a specific societal crisis in turn can benefit from more testable and more mid-range theories developed in the field of crisis communication.…”

“…A second blind spot is the question why organizations' environment changes on the macro level in the first place (cf. Eisenegger, 2018). As this meso-oriented research area is interested more in how (concrete) crises can be controlled rather than in the actual causes of crises and the reasons why crises take the form of certain dynamics, (for this, cf.…”

Political communication in and about crises. Potentials of a fragmented field

While there is growing interest in political crises in political communication research, crisis has not yet become a meaningful concept. Also, research tends to be reactive, which is suggested by an analysis of when and how the “crisis” label occurred in Swiss media from 2000 to 2018 and how recent scholarship examines political crises. This commentary gives an overview of different research areas within this fragmented “crisis” field and discusses a nuanced concept of crises that is more sensitive to the causes and dynamics of communicatively constructed crises on the macro level. It argues that a more systematic, more comparative and more macro-oriented research on political crises will help reduce the reactive nature of the field and enhance its public relevance.

“…Within this field, another fundamental distinction can be identified, which delineates different sub-fields and clarifies the different roles of "organizational contexts." This distinction, which represents the second axis of our heuristic matrix, is that between communication from organizations, communication about organizations and communication within organizations (Eisenegger, 2018).…”

“…We think it is time for an organizational turn in science communication research and more scholarly emphasis on the cases that science-related communication in, of and about organizations (Eisenegger, 2018) Fähnrich, 2018b;Rauchfleisch and Schäfer, 2018;Werder et al, 2018). As overlaps between these fields appear to be rare, we aim to assess these overlaps empirically in a first step.…”

Communicating science in organizational contexts: toward an “organizational turn” in science communication research

PurposeResearch on science communication in organizational contexts is scarce – even though many cases can be found where organizations from science and beyond communicate about science-related issues, or where organizational contexts have an impact on the communication of individual scientists and scientific organizations. Therefore, it is time for an “organizational turn” in science communication research, and for more scholarly emphasis on the specific cases that science-related communication in, from and about organizations presents. Such an approximation would benefit both science communication research and analyses of strategic and organizational communication.Design/methodology/approachThis special issue of the “Journal of Communication Management” on “Communicating Science in Organizational Contexts” is a step in this direction: It compiles commentaries from leading scholars in the respective fields as well as research articles coming from various disciplines and conceptual as well as methodological paradigms. In the editorial, we assess overlaps between scholarship on science communication and strategic communication, respectively, based on a meta-analysis of journals in the field(s), develop a guiding heuristic for analyzing science communication in organizational settings, and introduce the contributions to the special issue.FindingsThe meta-analysis shows that overlaps between science communication research and scholarship on strategic communication are scarce. While organizations and their communication appear occasionally, and increasingly often, in science communication research, scholars of strategic communication only rarely analyze science communication.Research limitations/implicationsThe meta-analysis is limited to the publications of five scholarly journals over ten years. It still demonstrates the lack of research in the intersection of scholarship on science communication and strategic communication.Practical implicationsScientific organizations are rapidly extending and professionalizing their strategic communication, and an increasing number of organizations beyond science communicate on science or science-related issues. Understanding science communication in organizational settings, therefore, is crucial for practitioners in both areas.Originality/valueAnalyzing science communication in organizational settings is of increasing importance – yet few studies exist that have done it, and the respective research fields devote not much attention to one another. The special issue is a first foray into this new, intersectional field.
