Dialogic Communication and Public Relations Websites: A Content Analysis of the Global Top 250 PR Agencies

Akwari, Charles C 01 May 2017 (has links)
Past research has shown that dialogic communication has essential characteristics that foster two-way communication between organizations and their stakeholders. This study investigates how public relations firms incorporate the principles of dialogic communication on their websites. The top and bottom 50 websites from the Holmes report on Top 250 Global PR agency rankings were content analyzed. Kent and Taylor’s (1998, 2003) five principles of dialogic communication were applied to find out if public relations firms incorporate the principle of dialogic communication effectively on their websites, provide relevant information for stakeholders and prospective clients, and if there are differences between PR rankings in terms of website usability and the dialogic loop.

In addition, the study revealed that both top and bottom to a considerable extent incorporated the principles of dialogic communication.
