PurposeTo conduct a systematic review of public relations ethics (PRE) research and scholarship in the 21st century and suggest future research directions. The study is prompted by macro-level phenomena that have impacted societies since the beginning of the 21st century—notably globalisation 4.0 and the fourth industrial revolution.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review was used to search academic literature. Articles discussing PRE in nine leading English-language public relations and business ethics journals between 2000 and 2019 were reviewed. A code-frame facilitated data extraction and subsequent quantitative analysis; qualitative analysis identified key themes.FindingsThe review identified 288 articles, with discussions involving PRE increasing over time. Most works approached the topic generally, rather than from a specific sub-disciplinary perspective, and drew from professional settings. Works were dominated by authors from North American institutions and North American samples. Research became increasingly empirical and intra-disciplinary and discussion about ethics was broadly categorised as part of public relations practice or from the perspective of the “academy”. Overall, the field can be described as of notable size, maturing, yet unbalanced in some regards.Originality/valueThe review helps to identify whether PRE research reflects major changes in the 21st century and augments the sparse recent reviews of PRE research.

“…This extremely in-depth and intensive method allowed us to trace the development of the immersive experience as it happened and also gave opportunity and time for participants to reflect on its impact. Small numbers and very in-depth qualitative data are a valid research strategy when looking for insight into phenomenology and complex phenomena in virtual scenarios (see for example, Davis and Boellstorff, 2016).…”

Stretching immersion in virtual reality: How glitches reveal aspects of presence, interactivity and plausibility

Virtual reality (VR) immerses users in others’ lives, creating empathy and understanding long after the VR scenario has finished. As VR technology has matured, VR scenarios have begun to be used in complex real-world areas such as education, health and organisational change. These scenarios can be of variable technical quality, with limited interactive capacity, unrealistic environments and clunky or absent avatars. In this study, three scenarios related to gender inequality training were constructed with glitches in the core immersive qualities of presence, interactivity and plausibility in order to understand their effect on the immersive experience. Using a multi-step in-depth series of qualitative interviews to examine the whole immersive process, the results show that immersion is not compromised but changed by glitches. Limited interactivity led to uncomfortable interactions that allowed participants to process difficult emotions; implausible situations surfaced buried norms and prejudices; and avatar variation gave rise to a sense presence that also included distance, which gave the user opportunities for critical reflection. These results point towards immersion as a robust and richly textured concept, while interactivity, plausibility and presence can best be understood as dimensions rather than goals. Totally seamless and immersive experiences may not only be utopian but also unnecessary. The glitches in low-end productions can produce powerful communication without expensive technology.

Donasi merupakan kunci dalam pendanaan lembaga pendidikan Islam milik masyarakat. Pesantren sebagai institusi lembaga pendidikan Islam memerlukan penggalangan dana untuk pengembangan dan operasional. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui strategi penggalangan dana, retensi, dan stewardship donatur pada pesantren. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Pondok Pesantren Nurul Abshor Islamic and Raudhatul Jannah Batusilira yang terletak di Kabupaten Kotabaru Kalimantan Selatan. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara terhadap pengelola, orang tua, dan donatur. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahap menghubungkan data dengan fokus masalah, mengidentifikasi pola dari data, menyatukan pola sehingga dapat menjawab fokus masalah. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keberhasilan fundraising sangat ditentukan oleh tuan guru pengasuh pondok pesantren. Retensi dan stewardship donor dilakukan dengan transparansi, memelihara citra melalui tuan guru, dan melibatkan donatur dalam pengelolaan. Penghargaan terhadap donatur tidak berdasarkan kebutuhan donor. Artikel ini merekomendasikan fundraising pada lembaga pendidikan Islam harus mengadopsi fundraising modern sehingga ketergantungan terhadap tuan guru (iulama) dalam fundraising dapat dikurangi.
