“…Students trained in ‘emotional literacy’ are encouraged to write from the victim’s perspective, empower survivors, allow survivors to have a voice in the story, and focus energy on offender prosecution. Operating from a care perspective, journalists can ensure that traumatized individuals are both informed and treated in a beneficial manner (Vanacker and Breslin, 2006).…”

After a homicide, survivors are thrust into relationships with a myriad of professionals. For cold case homicide survivors, these relationships are likely to develop into long-term, persistent interactions. Interviews from 24 cold case homicide survivors in the United States reveal that media professionals are often the source of additional trauma, and yet, most survivors expressed a need for continued communication and continued coverage of their case. Utilizing social constructivist grounded theory for data collection and analysis, common themes emerging from the survivors’ stories include inadequate coverage of the case, inaccurate portrayal of victim or information, negative reactions to the media, and positive experiences and desire for long-term coverage. Implications and recommendations for survivors and media professionals are detailed within.

“…In contrast to the ethics of consequences, the ethics of duty holds that behavior is judged as being right or wrong on the basis of external values rather than on utility. The communitarian ethics of care rejects the notion that individual decision making is independent from social context (Vanacker & Breslin, 2006).…”

“…In consideration of this unequal relationship, Noddings (1984) stresses the fundamental importance of dialogue in formulating goals that are mutually agreed upon by both the caregiver and care receiver. The caregiver “does not capitalise or use this power to impose her or his decisions on the ‘weaker’ party” (Vanacker and Breslin, 2006, p. 201). Dialogue between caregiver and care receiver could enable the caregiver to determine what is in the best interest of the receiver and could address the potentially paternalistic relationship that caring based solely on good intentions could engender (Vanacker and Breslin, 2006).…”

Purpose This paper aims to characterise the “social” in social entrepreneurship (SE) by examining social value creation (SVC) from the perspective of vulnerable beneficiaries within a developing country context. It uses the lens of care ethics to garner insights into SVC based on what beneficiaries care about in their work engagement with social enterprises. Design/methodology/approach The exploratory paper implements a multiple case study approach to theory building, which considers the rich, real-life developing country context wherein much SVC occurs. Data collection primarily uses in-depth interviews with beneficiaries in accordance with socially sensitive research methodologies involving vulnerable participants. Findings The findings offer an ethical view of SVC that is premised on what is of value to beneficiaries in SE. The authors find that SVC is a multi-dimensional and reciprocal process that is shaped as beneficiaries work for social enterprises. The reciprocal nature of the process engenders beneficiary altruism, which may heighten vulnerability and lead to the dark side of SE. Social implications Many of the problems SE tries to address are situated in developing countries. The findings may enable social entrepreneurs, policymakers and social enterprise organisations to develop more responsive and more impactful solutions to social problems in developing countries. They further suggest that beneficiaries must not be looked upon merely as passive recipients of value but as active participants in the SVC process. Originality/value This paper contributes to critical SE discourse by giving voice to beneficiaries in SE.
