“…Many studies have concluded that citizens take advantage of these online opportunities to get involved in public affairs (Bakker & de Vreese, 2011;Cho, Keum, & Shah, 2015;Hargittai & Shaw, 2013;Lee, 2015). This is consistent with studies that find consumption of traditional news media, such as newspapers, to be positively related with civic engagement and political participation (Peer, Malthouse, & Calder, 2003;Rothenbuhler et al, 1996;Shaker, 2014).…”

Although the Internet has redefined interactions between the individual and the community, the U.S. civic engagement that so impressed Tocqueville still occurs today. Using data derived from a longitudinal survey of undergraduate students at a Midwestern university, we find that digital civic engagement fills the void left by drops in more conventional forms of political participation. We also find that educators have an important role to play in cultivating and maintaining online and offline civic engagement among younger people. We conclude that scholars and undergraduate educators need to develop curricula that build upon the ways students currently participate in democracy.

“…In the literature, several studies underline how sustainable and 'environmentally friendly' products have a strong impact on product evaluation, trust and purchasing decisions [42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. However, as most consumers do not have the technical skills or other resources to discriminate independent attributes of the quality of the fish caught, such as location or method of fishing, consumers currently struggle to recognize these attributes not always easily identifiable at the time of purchase and above all rely on the seller's trust and price [49].…”

The study looks at the problems facing coastal fishing communities. It highlights the impacts that, in the complex framework of the EU reforms, have manifested themselves on economic activities and on society. The aim of the paper is twofold: to examine small-scale artisanal fishing in an area of Southern Italy in order to develop resilience and diversification and at the same time to outline the profiles of local bluefish buyers to highlight development strategies for the sector. The research carried out through a direct survey by administering a questionnaire to fishermen operating in areas of Southern Italy and the data cross-referenced with the opinions of local consumers. A conjoint experiment, followed by a multiple correspondence analysis and cluster identification, was used to outline the profiles of local bluefish buyers. The results of the analysis reveal that the fish market and the restaurant sector are the main distribution channels preferred by fishermen. Furthermore, fishermen are very sensitive to environmental issues and are willing to collaborate and actively participate in the environmental protection of the sea. Consumers recognise the quality of local bluefish, and they implicitly perceive the sustainability of the method of capture. The results show the need to undertake synergistic actions for the fishing industry, capable of activating marketing strategies adequately to support, promote and develop the sector. The results of the study provide helpful information for food companies in order to better segment their market and target their consumers, as well as to effectively promote their product using brands, certifications and traceability.

“…News today plays an important role in shaping consumers' opinions. The news media has a profound influence on the way consumers obtain and process information (Cho, Keum, and Shah, 2015). Additionally, news helps frame information that can potentially lead consumers to a biased or selective viewpoint (Lecheler, Bos, and Vilengenthart, 2015).…”

This study examined how financial organizations present relevant information to stakeholders and consumers and what differences exist between what organizations intend to deliver and what con- sumers and stakeholders perceive from the communication channels. Using a text mining technique, text data collected from financial planning organizational websites, social media, and news reports were analyzed. The results showed that the financial planning organizations successfully address their own position in the financial planning profession; however, financial planning organizations often fail to communicate specifics about their value to consumers. The findings suggest that financial planning organizations should enhance messaging strategies to promote both the organization and the profes- sion it uniquely serves.
