“…Whereas some level of legitimacy may be necessary for a firm to be considered newsworthy, media coverage further legitimates firms. The media legitimates firms by directing public attention to those it selects for coverage, thereby increasing the public's exposure to them (Kosicki, 1993;McCombs, Llamas, Lopez-Escobar, & Rey, 1997;Rogers et al, 1993). It also impacts the ways that stakeholders interpret and evaluate information about firms by framing its descriptions of them in positive and negative terms (Golan & Wanta, 2001;McCombs et al, 1997).…”

“…The media records public knowledge and opinions and focuses public attention and interest on certain issues, thus setting the "agenda" of public discourse (McCombs, 1981;Rogers, Dearing, & Bregman, 1993). Further, it frames issues through "persistent patterns of cognition, interpretation, and presentation, of selection, emphasis, and exclusion" (Gitlin, 1980: 7), providing institutional and cultural accounts within which the appropriateness and desirability of actions can be evaluated (Elsbach, 1994;Lamertz & Baum, 1998).…”

In this study, we argue that media-provided information affects investors' impressions of newly public firms. In 225 initial public offerings (IPOs), the volume of mediaprovided information had a negative, diminishing relationship with underpricing and a positive, diminishing relationship with stock turnover on the first day of trading. The relationship between the tenor of media-provided information and underpricing increases at a nonlinear rate, and decreases similarly for turnover. Findings provide important evidence that publicly available information not only reflects IPOs' legitimacy, but also adds to their legitimacy and influences investor behavior.

“…If newspapers cannot tell readers what to think specifically (Rogers et al, 1993), they can tell readers what to think about generally. Following this idea, we may ask how an environmental issue emerges in public debate.…”

The case study of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) pollutions of the Rhône River (France) offers the possibility of studying criteria for the construction of social problems that result from chemical pollution (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010). We investigated the dynamics of competition that create and define pollution as a social problem and entail its decline. News outlets are crucial for determining how an environmental issue emerges locally or nationally; this study used stakeholders. In terms of management, we described the temporal dynamics of the social problem based on the case study and considered an explanation of the selections. We considered the organization of particular stakeholders who define the social problem from its beginning to end by focusing on their discourses, relationships, decision-making and political choices, and scientific studies. Despite some biases, newspapers are useful for retrospectively evaluating the emergence of a social problem in the public arena by describing it through 2 discourse and then understanding the temporal patterns of information. Despite uncertainties and information flow, decisions are made and science is translated to the public.

“…This role of providing salience cues, particularly about political issues, was systematically explored by McCombs and Shaw (1972), whose seminal Chapel Hill study found that voters did indeed tend to share the media's overall definition of which issues were important in the 1968 presidential campaign. Over the next two decades alone, more than 220 agenda-setting studies were published (Rogers, Dearing, and Bregman 1993). The theorywhich swelled to encompass guidance not only for what we should think about but also for how we should think about it (McCombs and Shaw 1993) -was applied to a host of interesting questions, from the nature of the contingent conditions that might enhance or limit the effect, to what sort of standards people use in making judgments, to just how "the media" formulate an agenda in the first place.…”

Abstract:The nature of digital media challenges the explanatory power of effects theories that rest on a transmission model of communication. As essentially linear conceptualizations reliant on identification and measurement of discrete message components, these 20 th century theories are poorly suited to contemporary journalistic structures and forms. This article adds to the call for a more richly theorized concept of relationship effects suitable to an immersive, iterative, and interconnected environment of news producers and products.
