Pandemi COVID-19 telah melahirkan berbagai inisiatif masyarakat dalam rangka meringankan beban satu sama lain. Salah satunya adalah LaporCovid-19, sebuah inisiasi yang melakukan diseminasi pesan-pesan advokasi berbasis sains terkait situasi pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia melalui siaran pers. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis alasan, cara pengembangan, serta aspek pendukung dan penghambat penggunaan daya tarik pesan dari siaran pers LaporCovid-19. Penelitian menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara dengan tiga orang dari pihak internal LaporCovid-19 serta seorang triangulator ahli, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siaran pers LaporCovid-19 menggunakan tiga jenis daya tarik pesan, yaitu rasional, emosi negatif, dan emosi positif, untuk mengomunikasikan pentingnya penanganan pandemi berdasarkan hak atas kesehatan secara ilmiah. Daya tarik rasional yang berupa pemaparan fakta dan data primer berdasarkan hasil laporan warga menjadi kelebihan karena dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan penerimaan audiens. Sementara itu, daya tarik emosi negatif berupa penggambaran dampak buruk pandemi justru menjadi tantangan karena memperoleh respons berupa sikap defensif pemerintah serta kejenuhan masyarakat sipil. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked various community initiatives aimed at alleviating each other's burdens. One such initiative is LaporCovid-19, which disseminates science-based advocacy messages regarding the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia through press releases. This research aims to analyze the reasons, development process, as well as the supporting and inhibiting aspects regarding the use of message appeals in LaporCovid-19's press releases. Employing data collection techniques such as interviews with three LaporCovid-19 members and an expert triangulator, as well as literature review. The research findings revealed that LaporCovid-19's press releases employed three types of message appeals: rational, negative emotion, and positive emotion. These appeals were used to emphasize the importance of addressing the pandemic from a scientific viewpoint, rooted in the public right to health. Furthermore, the use of rational appeal, using factual citizen-based data, boosts understanding and acceptance. Meanwhile, the negative emotional appeal depicting pandemic impacts often prompts defensive government reactions and societal fatigue.

This paper presents evidence that higher stock liquidity makes firms increase tone of press releases. I find that firms with higher stock liquidity have higher tone in press releases, relative to the tone of news initiated by media, than firms with lower stock liquidity. This relation is stronger for firms with greater short‐term pressure, that is, with greater transient institutional ownership, greater sensitivity of manager's wealth to stock price, and more analyst coverage. This finding suggests that stock liquidity, by producing short‐term pressure on firms, leads firms to boost press release tone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT – This research analyzes the subsidy information during the covid-19 pandemic from the Indonesian Government’s press release to mass media news. Information subsidies are a compelling practice to study since they describe how information flows in society. This practice becomes unavoidable, especially during the pandemic, which implies restrictions on activities and social distancing. This research used framing analysis and quantitative methods. The results indicated practices of information subsidies with a total of 95.65% from the Indonesian government press release samples published by mass media in the form of news in the same period. The analysis showed no significant difference between information from government press releases and news on detik.com through analysis of dominant frame, episodic and thematic framing, emotional appeal, gain-loss framing, sourcing news, and news tone. It is feared that the practice of information subsidies will lead to the degeneration of social responsibility from the mass media and eliminate the data verification process in journalism. RESUMO – Esta pesquisa analisa as informações sobre subsídios durante a pandemia da covid-19, desde o comunicado de imprensa do governo indonésio até as notícias da mídia de massa. Os subsídios de informações são uma prática interessante a ser estudada, pois descrevem como as informações fluem na sociedade. Essa prática se torna inevitável, especialmente durante a pandemia, o que implica restrições às atividades e distanciamento social. Esta pesquisa utilizou análise de enquadramento e métodos quantitativos. Os resultados indicaram práticas de subsídios de informação com um total de 95.65% das amostras de comunicados de imprensa do governo indonésio publicados pela mídia de massa na forma de notícias no mesmo período. A análise não mostrou diferença significativa entre as informações dos comunicados de imprensa do governo e as notícias no site detik.com por meio da análise do enquadramento dominante, enquadramento episódico e temático, apelo emocional, enquadramento de ganho-perda, notícias de origem e tom das notícias. Teme-se que a prática de subsídios de informação leve à degeneração da responsabilidade social da mídia de massa e elimine o processo de verificação de dados no jornalismo. RESUMEN – Esta investigación analiza la información subvencionada durante la pandemia de covid-19, desde el comunicado de prensa del Gobierno indonesio hasta las noticias de los medios de comunicación. Las subvenciones a la información son una práctica interesante de estudiar, ya que describen cómo fluye la información en la sociedad. Esta práctica se hace inevitable, especialmente durante la pandemia, lo que implica restricciones en las actividades y distanciamiento social. Esta investigación utilizó análisis de encuadre y métodos cuantitativos. Los resultados indicaron prácticas de subvención de la información con un total del 95.65% de las muestras de comunicados de prensa del gobierno indonesio publicados por los medios de comunicación en forma de noticias en el mismo periodo. El análisis no mostró diferencias significativas entre la información de los comunicados de prensa del gobierno y las noticias de detik.com mediante el análisis del encuadre dominante, el encuadre episódico y temático, el atractivo emocional, el encuadre de ganancia-pérdida, las noticias de origen y el tono de las noticias. Se teme que la práctica de las subvenciones a la información provoque la degeneración de la responsabilidad social de los medios de comunicación y elimine el proceso de verificación de datos en el periodismo.

One reason many nations have centralized policing functions is to manage knowledge that can take on and solve the most complex criminal investigations and prosecutions in the country. Somewhat similar to the Serious Fraud Office in the United Kingdom and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States, the National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (Økorim) is Norway’s central unit for fighting economic and environmental crime. After a scandal hit this national authority, the current research asks to what extent Økokrim is still a serious economic crime office. An empirical study of press releases from the national authority over a one year period, from June 2022 to June 2023, suggests that Økokrim has taken on less serious economic crime cases to close the competence gap between the requirements of new criminal cases and the qualifications among Økokrim employees and leaders. The consequence seems to be that from an estimated conviction rate of 1 out of 11 white-collar offenders in Norway in the past, less than 9 % are now brought to justice. This article contributes to the current state of knowledge regarding offender convenience depending on operations and policy choices of centralized crime agencies.

Tone sets the readers' mood in which the writers confide their writing styles which can convey much of the cultural background of the community to where they belong. In the world's preceding advancement, the tone in a text has limited literature in the field. This motivated the researcher to look at the press release as it is the new face of public relations. The nature of the study is on Intercultural rhetoric (IR)/Contrastive Rhetoric (CR), the study of written discourse between and among individuals with different cultural backgrounds. The study used quantitative and qualitative approaches as they complement the richness of the study. The gathered press release headlines of UNICEF written by authors from varied discourse communities, namely the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States of America, had gone through content analysis and discovered the ingenuity and inspiration in their word selection in writing headlines. The headlines from the Philippines are analyzed for having a committed tone and logical and analytical attitude. Interestingly, press releases from Thailand have a committed tone as well. On the other hand, press releases from the USA have a neutral tone.

This paper examines how CEO overconfidence affects the tone of press releases. Using option‐based proxies for CEO overconfidence, I find that over the 2000–2018 period, the press releases issued by firms with overconfident CEOs have more positive tone and receive more positive market reactions. The relation between CEO overconfidence and the tone of press releases is stronger among firms with good operating performance and concentrated in investment‐related news but is insignificant for earnings news. These findings suggest that CEO overconfidence leads to biases in press releases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Proceeding from the importance of studying the contemporary Arabic language at its various levels and forms, and as a continuation of a previous research effort that dealt with the patterns of the nominal sentence in models from a Qatari newspaper, this research comes to present a statistical grammatical study of the patterns of verbal structures in the Qatari newspaper Al-Raya, as an example of the language of contemporary journalism, through a research sample that includes twenty-four issues dating back to 2017, which is divided into three types of journalistic writing: the article (133 articles), the report (226 reports) and the news (650 press releases). The aim behind this study is clarifying the patterns of verbal contemporary structures in the selected sample, and to determine the extent of their variation according to the different written genres, as well as to identify some phenomena of the verbal sentence structures and their characteristics in this model, in terms of their linguistic modernity or change and distance from the norm. This will make us look at some structures in their general frameworks, whether they are related to the verbal or nominal sentence. For this reason, in the title, we coupled the term “its patterns” to “their general components.” This can be achieved through two main topics: the first deals with counting the patterns of verbal structures distributed over the elements of the verbal sentence and its grammatical types with examples, and the second topic is an analytical reading to find out the extent of the distribution of patterns of structures on the specific journalistic writing genres, in addition to addressing the characteristics of some structures and grammatical phenomena related to the verbal sentence –or other- In the language of the examined press sample.

On 27 February 2022, Ukraine filed the application instituting proceedings against Russia before the International Court of Justice to obtain provisional measures protecting its rights. It resulted from Russia‘s launch of the “special military operation” against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, in response to the alleged genocide of Donbass communities by the Kyiv regime. The Courted delivered its Order on 16 Marco 2022 and indicated provisional measures. Unfortunately, the Polish media coverage distorted the content of the Order. This article aims to present how the Order was covered and to demystify its content.

The capital market, as a place of accumulation of micro funds, faces anomalies such as Infractions and offenses, and this has led officials to look for solutions. One of the ways to prevent and counteract these anomalies is to publicly disclose the offenders' name which has taken into consideration in recent years This two-pronged approach, on the one hand, by introducing offenders , can lead to the prevention of infractions and offenses, and on the other hand, after the occurrence of these anomalies, by defaming the offender, be a decisive and deterrent response to them. The solution, of course, is not without criticism; For example, critics find the public disclosure of offenders and criminals in conflict with the need for respect for human dignity (Proportionality of punishments). In short, it can be said that this objection cannot persuade officials to ignore the potentials and benefits of public disclosure of offenders. In addition, it can be neglected to apply the punishment in respect of minor offenses so as to ensures proportionality of punishments. In this study, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, public disclosure of criminals and offenders has been studied analytically and comparatively.

In this work, we explored an upstream approach to improving news coverage of crashes: improving the press releases written by police. We developed a training program to share best practices and piloted it with 45 officers in New Jersey. We employed an exploratory mixed-methods approach, including a post-training questionnaire and extensive discussions with police officers, journalists, and legal scholars, to understand officers’ likelihood to implement our advice and the barriers they anticipated in doing so. Officers raised concerns about the difficulty of implementing some of the suggestions (e.g., report crash statistics or describe safe systems), pointing to time constraints for the relevant staff. Others disagreed with some of the guidance, principally because they wanted to stick to “just the facts” and avoid legal trouble. Based on this rich data, we carefully refined our guidance in the form of a two-page handout and press release template.

This article seeks to describe the metaphoric conceptualization of the COVID-19 pandemic in the online press releases of Lapor COVID-19 and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). More specifically, it seeks to 1) describe the metaphorical linguistic forms contained in the online press releases of Lapor COVID-19 and Kominfo, 2) identify the conceptual metaphors contained in the online press releases of Lapor COVID-19 and Kominfo, 3) describe the function of the metaphors contained in the online press releases of Lapor COVID-19 and Kominfo. Data were collected between March 1 and October 31, 2020. Analysis was conducted using the method developed by Steen (2009). Nine metaphors were identified as being used within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) berguguran ('fall in battle'), 2) berdamai ('make peace'), 3) garis depan ('frontlines'), 4) melawan ('oppose'), 5) menang ('win'), 6) benteng ('fortress, bastion'), 7) menghantui ('spook'), 8) membesar ('grow in size'), and 9) menelan ('swallow'). Three conceptual metaphorizations of the pandemic were utilized by Lapor COVID-19, namely 1) PANDEMIC IS WAR, 2) PANDEMIC IS GHOST/SPECTER, and 3) PANDEMIC IS MONSTER. Meanwhile, one conceptual metaphorization was identified in Kominfo's press releases: PANDEMIC IS WAR. These conceptual metaphors' selection was informed by the genre of the discourses as well as specific characteristics of the institutional. Metaphors, as rhetoric devices in persuasive discourses, function to 1) increase the attractiveness of the message and stimulate readers' imagination, 2) reduce the complexity of the message, and 3) to concretize the discourse.

Although statistical literacy has become a key competence in today’s data-driven society, it is usually not a part of statistics education. To address this issue, we propose an innovative concept for a conference-like seminar on the topic of statistical literacy. This seminar draws attention to the relevance and importance of statistical literacy, and moreover, students are made aware of the process of science communication and are introduced to the peer review process for the assessment of scientific papers. In the summer term 2020, the seminar was conducted as a joint project by the University of Hamburg, the University of Muenster, and the Joachim Herz Foundation. In this article, we present the concept of the seminar and our experience with this concept in the summer term 2020.

The article considers the system of information documents of the executives. It is shown that genre forms used in public administration for the purpose of informing are numerous. Many of these forms lack clear genre nominations, which explains the fact that researchers substitute genre nominations by names of the issues in which the informative documents are published. The author characterizes the information genres, which are in major demand with state administration: public report, press release and briefing materials. The article reveals that public report reflects information about the officials’ actions or about the actual state of affairs with the relevant government agency; by its structure, it is a standardized text with language units typical of business communication. Press release is a short message about productive work of the authorities, aimed at shaping their positive image; its distinguishing feature is the use of emotionally and expressively colored lexical units and stylistic expressive means. The genre of briefing materials, along with the key objective – to inform, employs an additional setting for popularization of legal information, and hence a wide range of visual tools (tables, charts, flowcharts, fonts, colours, etc.). The author assumes that the contents and the instructive appeal of certain fragments of information genres make them close to the enacting documents genres, although their means of expressing style features are different.

Bugün sosyal yaşamı belirleyen en önemli merkezlerden birisi de medyadır. Bir çok insanın yaşamını medya aracılığıyla algılayıp, yorumladığı kabul edilmektedir. Medya denildiği zaman bilgileri ve mesajları saklamak, uzaktan iletmek, siyasi ve kültürel deneyimlerin güncelleştirilmesi yönündeki üç temel işlevi, bütünüyle ya da kısmen gerçekleştirme imkânı sağlayan tüm işletim sistemleri anlaşılmaktadır. Medya bilgilendirme, kültür aktarımı, eğlendirme ve toplumsal hale getirme, mal ve ürünlerin tanıtılmasında reklam aracı olma gibi işlevleri yerine getirirken; siyasi açıdan da propaganda, denetim ve eleştiri, kamuoyu oluşturma, tartışma ve diyalog kurma işlevlerini de gerçekleştirir. Basın açıklamalarının medyayla olan ilişkisine bakacak olursak, medyanın en önemli görevlerinden biri de haberle birlikte bilgi sunmaktır. Medyanın bu özelliğiyle günlük yaşamdan, sağlığa, siyasete ve ekonomiden, özel yaşama ilişkin pek çok bilgiyi geniş halk kitlelerine ulaştırmaktadır. Toplum, medya sayesinde bilgilenir ve aynı zamanda medya ile yön bulur; bu özellik medyaya haber yapımında büyük sorumluluk yüklerken, toplum oluşturulan vizyon veya gündem de birer medya ürünüdür. Toplumsal yaşamı bir düzene oturtmak için her toplum, kendi kültürel değerleri doğrultusunda yaşamın tüm alanlarını kapsayacak kurallar oluşturmuştur. Gelenek ve görenek kuralları, mesleki özelliklere göre belirlenen mesleki uygulama ilke ve kuralları sosyal yaşama belirli bir düzen sağlar. Bu doğrultuda, toplumlara ait çeşitli kültürel unsurların dikkate alınmasıyla ortaya çıkan ve genellikle yazılı olmayan ahlaki kurallar, sosyal yaşamın her alanına yayılır. İş ve meslek uygulamaları da belirli ahlaki yani etik kurallar doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilir. Her meslek alanının olduğu gibi burada da bir takım evrensel etik değerlerden söz edilebilir. Bu çalışmada, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Halkla İlişkiler ve Reklamcılık Yüksek Lisans öğrencileri; K. Akın Toker, Orhun Demirci, Yasemin Yıldırım, Necdet Arıkan, Zeynep Kantarcı, Sefa Koç ve Musa Duman tarafından, “Basın Bülteni ve Duyurularına Eleştirel Mesleki Yaklaşımlar” dersi kapsamında yapılan 7 adet farklı içerikli örnek çalışma kapsamında, basın bültenlerinin haberleştirilmesi ve bunların gerçekte nasıl işlenmesi gerektiği, adli-idari birimlerin tutum ve davranışları ile kamuoyunun beklentilerinin nasıl olması gerektiği eleştirel bakış açısı ile ele alınarak irdelenmiştir.

The aim of this article is to analyse the scope of formal and dynamic equivalence in three press releases published by the European Commission in April 2020. The discussed press releases refer to the issue of the coronavirus pandemic and various measures taken by the Commission as a response to the crisis caused by the pandemic. Simultaneously, a particular attention is placed on the influence of the above-mentioned types of equivalence on the message covered by the press releases. Moreover, the study is based on three languages English, German and Polish. As the research shows, the two types of equivalence may apply to various aspects of texts introducing a wide range of effects to the translation. Whereas formal equivalence is usually present in shorter forms, dynamic equivalence corresponds to larger units of text. Additionally, it has been proved that the two types of equivalence are not applied in both translations to an equal extent

In a world in which major technological advances have considerably boosted the use of the web as a communication tool, the analysis of digital press releases to disseminate information on the case-related activity of judicial courts and project their social and institutional identity far and wide is useful to understand an evolving continuum of professional discursive practices (re-)shaped within institutional and media (public relations) communication strategies. Drawing from the criteria of genre categorizations (Swales, 2004; Bhatia, 2004; Askehave & Swales, 2001) along with computer-mediated analysis of texts (Yates & Orlikowski, 1992; Askehave & Nielsen, 2005; Caballero, 2008; Villanueva et al., 2008; Garzone, 2012) and metapragmatic strategies of press releases (Jacobs, 1999) in a randomised corpus of web-based European Court of Justice institutional press releases, I first place the sampled texts into their context of use, and then look at the generic structure used to realise the moves with communicative purposes, in both qualitative and quantitative analyses of data. Context and structure underlying the communicative genre are then mapped onto the role and function of intertextuality and interdiscursivity (Fairclough, 1992, 2003; Bhatia 2004, 2017) alongside recontextualization (Linell, 1998; Sarangi & Brookers-Howell, 2006). The findings show that the genre typifies the rhetorical activities and purposes of release writers as they come across to the media and the wider audiences in the ongoing context of institutionalised communication, and the ways the genre effectively replicates other forms of discourses and genres at different levels of organisational structure.

Abstract Research that is poorly communicated or presented is as potentially damaging as research that is poorly conducted or fraudulent. Recent examples illustrate how the problem often lies with researchers, not press officers or journalists. The quest for publication and ‘impact’ must not outweigh the importance of accurate representation of science; herein, we suggest steps that researchers, journalists and press officers can take to help ensure this.

Abstract Background New metrics have been developed to assess the impact of research and provide an indication of online media attention and data dissemination. We aimed to describe online media attention of articles evaluating cancer treatments and identify the factors associated with high online media attention. Methods We systematically searched MEDLINE via PubMed on March 1, 2015 for articles published during the first 6 months of 2014 in oncology and medical journals with a diverse range of impact factors, from 3.9 to 54.4, and selected a sample of articles evaluating a cancer treatment regardless of study design. Altmetric Explorer was used to identify online media attention of selected articles. The primary outcome was media attention an article received online as measured by Altmetric score (i.e., number of mentions in online news outlets, science blogs and social media). Regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors associated with high media attention, and regression coefficients represent the logarithm of ratio of mean (RoM) values of Altmetric score per unit change in the covariate. Results Among 792 articles, 218 (27.5%) received no online media attention (Altmetric score = 0). The median [Q1–Q3] Altmetric score was 2.0 [0.0–8.0], range 0.0–428.0. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with high Altmetric score were presence of a press release (RoM = 10.14, 95%CI [4.91–20.96]), open access to the article (RoM = 1.48, 95%CI [1.02–2.16]), and journal impact factor (RoM = 1.10, 95%CI [1.07–1.12]. As compared with observational studies, systematic reviews were not associated with high Altmetric score (RoM = 1.46, 95%CI [0.74–2.86]; P = 0.27), nor were RCTs (RoM = 0.65, 95%CI [0.41–1.02]; P = 0.059) and phase I/II non-RCTs (RoM = 0.58, 95%CI [0.33–1.05]; P = 0.07). The articles with abstract conclusions favouring study treatments were not associated with high Altmetric score (RoM = 0.97, 95%CI [0.60–1.58]; P = 0.91). Conclusions Most important factors associated with high online media attention were the presence of a press release and the journal impact factor. There was no evidence that study design with high level of evidence and type of abstract conclusion were associated with high online media attention.

At the end of 2014, media published the case of robbery in white taxi in Jakarta. Public associated white taxi as Express Taxi. The news impacted the income of the Express Taxi. The income slightly decreased. According to this situation, Express Group as a holding company of Express Taxi proactively released the respond strategy by disseminate two press releases. This research analyzed press releases written by Express Group from the perspective of critical discourse analysis from Norman Fairclough (CDA). There are three dimensions in CDA: text, discourse practice and social-cultural practice. In doing the research, writer used two types of data: primer and secondary. Primer data was Express Group’s press release about the robbery in white taxi. Secondary data were taken from interview and literature. The result showed that text in press release had constructed the company as innocent and victim from the issue raised; a responsible company and committed to assist the police; as a company that have a high concern and mindful to the customer.

The paper investigates arguments brought forth by a big corporation in the pharmaceutical industry when dealing with bioethical issues. Apologetic strategies (or lack of thereof) and their discursive manifestations are investigated. More specifically, the paper focuses on press releases issued by Mylan, the pharmaceutical giant, when the company was strongly criticized in 2016 over hiking the price of one of its best-selling drugs. Previous findings on the presence and articulation of apologetic discourse in corporate communication correlated problematic con text -- the financial crisis -- with texts -- annual company reports. The rationale underlying this paper is the same as a strong relationship between controversial issues -- in this case bioethical issues -- and discursive outcomes was expected also in a different field of investigation.

Euroscepticism and populism, however defined, are often taken as two sides of the same coin, both in public discourse and academic debates. This paper challenges this common wisdom by analysing the case of the Czech Republic. Reviewing the EU related press releases produced by either Eurosceptic or Populist Czech parties, covering a six months period in 2014, the paper reveals to what extent there is a match between ‘Euroscepticism’ and ‘Populism’. As for the main results, the paper identifies that a) there is not a positive correlation between these two phenomena in the Czech Republic, and b) Euroscepticism seems to be inspired by Populism more than Populism draws from Euroscepticism in the Czech Republic.

Sobre los house organ o revista de empresa parece haberse escrito muy poco y siempre desde su dimensión técnica, obviando su evolución histórica. Pese a ser una técnica con fuerte tradición en otros países como EEUU, Inglaterra o Francia desde finales del siglo XIX, en España su estudio ha pasado casi desapercibido. El principal objetivo de esta investigación es encontrar algunas manifestaciones de este instrumento en las organizaciones patrias desde principios del pasado siglo XX, para confeccionar una lista de ejemplos reales sin carácter exhaustivo. Para alcanzar los resultados se parte de una revisión bibliográfica de las primeras obras sobre publicidad que se publicaron en nuestro país, que dará lugar al estudio de los manuales sobre relaciones públicas que se han editado posteriormente. Esta metodología se completa con la consulta a hemerotecas y las, comúnmente conocidas, como librerías de viejo o librerías de segunda mano, donde a día de hoy se atesoran algunos ejemplares de house organ que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. / It´s have written about house organ very little and always from technical dimension, ignoring the historical evolution. Despite being a technique with a strong tradition in other countries like USA, England or France since the late nineteenth century, in Spain study it has gone unnoticed until now. The main objective of this research focuses on finding some manifestations of this instrument in the patriotic organizations since the beginning of the twentieth century, to compile a list of real examples without limitation. To achieve results is part of a literature review of the first works on advertising that were published in our country that will lead to the study of public relations manuals that have been subsequently released. This methodology is supplemented by consulting newspaper archives and used bookstores, where today some specimens of house organs have survived the passage of time.

The article raises the issue on setting independent Internet rhetoric, which may be considered as the system of genres functioning in the Internet. It is suggested that both technical possibilities of the Internet (polycoded nature of the information) and linguistic features associated with the specificity of communication in the network should be taken into account. In this regard, an attempt to identify the characteristics of PR-genres that are presented in corporate sites was undertaken. It was ascertained that the Internet-release is frequently used, and it differs from the traditional press-release not only in the presence of hyperlinks and photos, but in the content: addressing directly the target audience (rather than journalists), the possibility of chronological actualization of the category of time (and not just chronological), more liberal composition of the text. Another frequent genre on the websites is the invitation, that is also significantly different from traditional invitations: online invitations are less specific (as a rule, there are no contact details of the subject, guidance on program activities, etc.) and more emotional, they contain a direct appeal to the addressee. In addition to the distinguished, there are also some other genres, that are often presented on the sites – backgrounder, biography; they both are characterized as independent, not related to any events or press-releases.

ÖZ: Sokak eylemleri; tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de her geçen gün önemi gittikçe artan yapıdaki eylemlerdir. Bu tür eylemlere katılan bireyler çeşitli taleplerde bulunarak, seslerini duyurmaya ve kamuoyunda farkındalık oluşturmaya çalışır. Bu çalışmada da; ‘mitingler, basın açıklamaları, gösteri yürüyüşleri, oturma eylemleri ve cenaze karşılama etkinlikleri’ gibi başlıklar altında toplanan ve 2009-2013 yılları arasında Diyarbakır’da meydana gelen 2063 sokak eylemindeki ‘katılım’ ve ‘katılıma etki ettiği düşünülen faktörler’ incelenmiştir. Buna göre; eylem sayısı ile katılımcı sayısı arasında ters yönlü bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur yani zaman içerisinde gerçekleşen eylem sayıları artarken, bireylerin bu eylemlere katılım sayılarının azaldığı anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca; biyografik ve yapısal uygunluk, bireylerin içinde bulundukları ortamı değiştirebilme, belirli bir grupla özdeşleşebilme ve görüşünü ifade edebilme isteği ile sosyal ağlara katılma, siyasetle iştigal, eylemlere seçilmiş katılımı, eylemler için güçlü bir çağrı (davet) yapılması ve eylemlerin hafta sonu düzenlenmesi gibi faktörlerin yanı sıra eylem türünün de katılıma etki eden bir faktör olduğu bulunmuştur yani düzenlenen eylemin türü ile katılımcı sayısı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu gözlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sokak Eylemleri, Miting, Basın Açıklaması, Yürüyüş, Oturma Eylemi ve Katılım. ABSTRACT: Protest events are activities and actions, which become more important every other day both in the world and in our country. Individuals try to voice their demands and raise awareness in public. In this study, participation and factors affecting participation are analyzed in 2063 social events which are grouped under headings, such as meetings, press releases, parades, sit-downs, and funerals happened in Diyarbakir in the years between 2009 and 2013. According to the results, there is a negative relationship between the number of events and participants over time. As the number of social events increase, the number of participants of the events decrease. Also, while it is found that biographic and structural availability, wish in changing conditions, being a part of a specific group, and conveying the opinions/feelings, involvement in networks and politics, presence of elected persons in the events, the mode of invitation, and timing of the events (weekends) have positive effects on participation, it is also observed that there is a significant relationship between the type of event and the number of participants. Keywords: Protest Event, Meeting, Press Release, Parade, Sit-Down and Participation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the transparency of social media and press releases can detect the financial fraud. This study uses 723 observational samples from 369 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2016. This study shows that social media transparency has negative and significant effects on the indication of financial fraud. However, there is no significant association between press release coverage and an indication of financial fraud. For investors, the results of this study indicate that social media transparency is one determinant that can be used to detect the indications of fraudulent acts on financial statements by the firms.
