Item How Forecasters Decide to Warn about Tornadoes: Multi-Sited Rapid Ethnography Training Guide(2019) Liu, Brooke; Atwell Seate, AnitaSocial scientists are prolific in their recommendations on how to better warn about tornadoes. However, social scientists rarely work in partnership with operational forecasters, begging the question of how applicable their recommendations are to the “real world.” As part of a two-year project funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with the goal of better understanding how forecasters decide to warn about tornadoes, we conducted a multi-sited rapid ethnography (along with telephone interviews and a cross-sectional survey of forecasters and managers). Here we archive our ethnography training guide should other researchers conduct similar research.Item Leadership under fire: How governments manage crisis communication(2019) Liu, Brooke Fisher; Iles, Irina A.; Herovic, EminaCrisis leadership is fundamental to preventing, preparing for, managing, and learning from crises. Despite leadership during crises being heavily reliant on communicative processes, the research record predominantly reduces crisis communication leadership to managing organizations’ images. To contribute to limited knowledge on leadership communication during crises, we interviewed 24 U.S. government leaders and conducted a content analysis of U.S. government communication leadership during a major wildfire. We find that crisis communication leadership involves crisis perceptiveness, humility, flexibility, presence, and cooperation. We offer a message catalog of crisis response options for government leaders, and show how leaders employed some of these messages in response to a large-scale wildfire. This study expands the state of the art in crisis communication leadership research with implications for theory and practice.Item The Vietnam Veteran: A Victim of the War's Rhetorical Failure(1988-02-22) Hollihan, Thomas A.; Klumpp, James F.Argues that from defense and media coverage of the Vietnam War, an image of the character and activities of those fighting the war emerged.
