“…Following Norris et al's terminology (2003), what is represented in Figure 1 could be called a 'two-sided context': a complex communication situation in which two communities-in this case, not only two major parties but major newspapers-dispute the meaning and interpretation of similar events. Previous analysis of coverage of terrorist attacks in Spain (for example, the attacks of 11 March 2004) (Canel, 2012) in which Entman's cascading activation model was applied resulted in a continuum similar to that represented here. In 2004, the government failed in defining the problem with an initial intended frame in its reaction to the terrorist attacks; as a consequence, different newspapers reacted in different ways as they framed an ambiguous situation.…”

“…As examinations of other cases of government communication in Spain have demonstrated (Canel & Sanders, 2010;Canel, 2012), this model produces new insights into the relations between the government's preferred framing and the frames that actually appear in the news.…”

“…As has been argued elsewhere (Canel, 2012), terrorist attacks may trigger processes of political communication that can become extremely complex, particularly in what Norris et al call 'two-sided contexts' (when alternative views of a situation compete). In such situations, different communities dispute the meaning and interpretation of similar events (2003: 14).…”

“…The introduction of terrorism, terrorists and terror within the 'triangle of political communication' (Nacos, 2002) has attracted researchers' interest in the strategic dimension of framing (Entman, 2003 and2004;Norris, Kern & Just, 2003;Woods, 2011;Canel, 2012;Tsui, 2015;Vucetic et al, 2015). As has been argued elsewhere (Canel, 2012), terrorist attacks may trigger processes of political communication that can become extremely complex, particularly in what Norris et al call 'two-sided contexts' (when alternative views of a situation compete).…”

The media and terrorism is an area that has attracted researchers' attention in looking at the strategic dimensions of framing. This paper combines both Entman's framing theory (and his 'cascading activation' model for analysis of framing contests) with a dramatistic approach to rhetoric (the Burkean concepts of the pentad and ratios) to see whether connections can be made that help provide a better understanding of the phenomenon of interactions between politicians' words and media reactions to those words. Speeches given by the Spanish Prime Minister and the official opposition in reaction to a terrorist attack in Madrid are analysed. Our empirical analysis shows a highly fragmented capacity for cultural resonance, and a 'two sided context' with two very different interpretations of the situation. Our findings demonstrate that an appreciation of the dramatistic approach to rhetoric enhances our comprehension of people's motives for adopting or rejecting the different frames used by leaders (politicians and the media) as they seek to frame issues for a range of purposes. They also suggest that combining approaches from the humanities and the social sciences by emphasizing motives as a key variable for the dynamics of framing contests might open up interesting avenues for research on framing as also on the relations between symbols and actions.

“…Privlačenje pripadnika ciljne grupe nameće se kao jedan od imperativa funkcionisanja vojnih organizacija, uzevši u obzir da adekvatni ljudski resursi predstavljaju jedan od glavnih elemenata u procesu stvaranja konkurentske prednosti organizacija (Bassi, McMurrer, 2007;Fields et al, 2008). Zbog toga su se napori za privlačenje kompetentnih kandidata intenzivirali tokom poslednje decenije (Lievens, 2003;Avery, McKay, 2006;Gerras, Wong, 2013), rezultirajući razvojem modela integrisane komunikacije u vojnim organizacijama (Callen, 2010;Canel, 2012).…”

Na osnovu rezultata istraživanja do kojih se došlo utvrđeno je da upotreba pojedinačnih instrumenata komunikacije (televizijsko oglašavanje, distribucija štampanog materijala i internet sadržaj) ima ograničen efekat na ispitanike. Sa druge strane, kombinacijom dva instrumenta komunikacije, informacije o organizacijama i upražnjenim mestima koja se popunjavaju bivale su pozitivnije prihvaćene od ispitanika. Izloženost višestrukim instrumentima komunikacije omogućava efikasnije prihvatanje ključne poruke i podsticanje ispitanika da reaguju na pozitivan način. Na osnovu toga može se uvideti da se integracijom više instrumenata komunikacije ostvaruje dodatna vrednost zahvaljujući strateškim ulogama niza instrumenata komunikacije koji se kombinuju sa ciljem da se obezbedi maksimalno efektna komunikacija. Svakako, veoma je važan sinergijski efekat svih komunikacionih instrumenata, pa je, stoga, značajna pažnja posvećena prilagođavanju materijala ispitanicima.Uviđa se da integrisane komunikacije predstavljaju sistem pomoću kojeg je moguće koordinirati veći broj instrumenata komunikacije kako bi se saopštila jasna i uverljiva poruka i ostvario uticaj na ispitanike. Posledično, može se očekivati i uticaj na adekvatnije pozicioniranje vojne organizacije, u svesti ispitanika, odnosno potencijalnih zaposlenih.Ključne reči: integrisana komunikacija, vojska, promocija, integrisane marketinške komunikacije, odnosi s javnošću Uvod lobalne, kao i promene na nacionalnom nivou, zahtevaju modifikacije u veličini, strukturi i načinu funkcionisanja vojnih organizacija. Ove promene postavljaju nove izazove pred odabir kandidata koji mogu adekvatno da odgovore na kompleksne zahteve vojne profesije. Jedan od imperativa u Vojsci Srbije predstavlja privlačenje kandidata odgovarajućih profila koji bi na adekvatan način participirali u realizaciji vojnih misija i zadataka. U G
