Media Relations and Publicity Employee Handbook Media Relations and Publicity The Public Relations Manager of the Marketing & Communications team directs the media relations and publicity efforts at the Mount, including media relations, publicity services, crisis communications, editorial services, and critical internal communications. The Public Relations Manager initiates and directs all contact with the media on behalf of Mount St. Joseph University and serves as the University’s official spokesperson. As extended services, the Sports Information Office is designated to contact the sports media and Studio San Giuseppe staff is designated to contact the arts media. Both offices work in consultation with Marketing & Communications. The public relations manager is the first point of contact by the media. Faculty and staff members who are contacted directly by a member of media should report the contact to the public relations manager as soon as possible. The public relations staff prepares and distributes official news releases, calendar notices, feature stories, and public service announcements to the media. Members of the public relations team maintain a listing of faculty/staff experts available to talk with reporters. Public relations staff also provide media training. The public relations staff advises departments and student clubs/organizations on publicity methods to reach both internal and external audiences. Faculty, students and staff who are responsible for publicizing events and activities should contact Marketing & Communications six weeks in advance so that information can be distributed to appropriate media outlets on a timely basis. Please refer to the Marketing & Communications page or the Brand Standards on MyMount for more information. This information is part of Mount St. Joseph University’s Employee Handbook. V-Media-1 .

  • Consumer Response to Negative Publicity: the Moderating Role of Commitment
    ROHINI AHLUWALIA, ROBERT E. BURNKRANT, and H. RAO UNNAVA* Even though negative information about brands and companies is widely prevalent in the marketplace, except for case studies, there has been no systematic investigation of how consumers process negative in^' formation about the brands they like and use. In the three studies in this research, the authors attempt to bridge this gap. The findings of the first and second studies provide a theoretical framework for understanding' how consumers process negative information in the marketplace. Commitment of the consumer toward the brand is identified as a moder- ator of negative information effects. In the third study, the authors use this theoretical framework to derive and test response strategies that compa- nies can use to counter negative publicity for consumers who are high and low in commitment toward the brand. s Consumer Response to Negative Publicity: The Moderating Role of Commitment Incidents of negative publicity are widely prevalent in the publicity literature has examined this problem at jsome marketplace, ranging from safety concerns with Valujet air- length but has not converged on a unifying theoretical lines to tainted beef from Hudson foods. Such information framework. One underlying assumption in this literature is can be devastating, resulting in major losses of revenue and that negative information is almost always devastating. For market share. A study by DDB Needham Worldwide example, the Merriam formula used to determine the impact (Advertising Age 1995) finds that negative publicity and of media exposure gives negative news quadruple weight how the company handles it are among the most important compared with positive news (Kroloff 1988).
