“…I refer to this network of interpersonal, institutional, and mediated communication connections as a person's nutrition-oriented communication ecology (Ball-Rokeach et al 2012;Broad et al 2013). When we commence this type of investigation, we find that the communication ecologies of the eating public are hardly characterized by a single narrative of nutrition science from above.…”

This conversation is part of a special issue on ''Critical Nutrition'' in which multiple authors weigh in on various themes related to the origins, character, and consequences of contemporary American nutrition discourses and practices, as well as how nutrition might be known and done differently. In this section one author calls into question the validity and efficacy of the 1977 Dietary Goals for the United States that are still widely used in official nutrition information.A second author considers whether official dietary recommendations are commonly known, let alone followed, and therefore questions their effectiveness at shaping actual dietary practice.

“…This includes interpersonal, organizational, and mediated forms of communication that may be formal or informal (Broad et al, 2013). We conceptualize the disaster communication ecology as those communication sources that individuals use to gain information about a disaster prior to an event, during an event, and after an event.…”

“…These communication perspectives were applied to the development of a CR model because of their utility in helping understand the adaptive capacities of communities. For example, communication ecology considers all of the mediated, organizational and interpersonal communication sources that individuals use to “construct knowledge and to achieve goals” (Broad et al., , p. 328), and thus is useful for understanding the reservoirs of information and support that are essential to communities in crisis. Public relations, a second communication perspective, emphasize relationships (Hutton, ; Ledingham, ) and therefore have utility in understanding connections between community members and organizations.…”

Approximately 6–7 months after the deadliest tornado in the United States since 1947, we conducted a RDD telephone survey of Joplin residents (N = 380) to examine perceptions of community resilience (CR). We found that participants had positive perceptions of the resilience of their community after this major disaster. Older participants were more likely to perceive the community to be resilient than younger participants. More tornado experience was related to lower perceptions of CR. More use of traditional media (television and newspapers) for tornado information and more conversation with friends, family and neighbours about the tornado was associated with higher CR perceptions. Overall, mediated and interpersonal communication processes appear important for fostering CR following a major disaster.
