ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF INTERACTION OF PUBLIC RELATIONS AND JOURNALISM

Doctoral study programme "Communication Management"

Designed by Dr. rer. soc., Prof. Stephan Russ-Mohl, School of Business Administration Turiba
Aim – though the course is basically devoted to a new theoretical approach to communications research, looking at PR and journalism through the “microscope” of an economist is also of high practical value: it should help professionals of PR and journalism to understand better their own and their counterpart’s actions and decisions.

Journalism and PR are both professionalizing, but – at least in the advanced Western societies – PR is professionalizing at a more rapid pace. The relationship between PR and journalism has been continuously of interest for mass communication researchers, but the paradigms and the research results are differing considerably. The course will provide a general overview on how research has been developing in the field, striving “determination theory”, “intereffication theory” and other approaches.

Objectives – ultimately, rational choice theory (= institutional economics), and thus a model of information-attention-markets, will be presented as a research approach which provides new insights into the analysis of the interactions between journalism and PR – discussing, among others, such concepts as externalities and free riding, “principal-agent-theory”, the “tyranny of small decisions”, the “tragedy of the commons”, “markets for lemons”, as well as potential shifts between PR and advertising and their impact on journalism.

Obligatory requirements – three regular tests of the form and type determined by the teacher.

Scope – corresponds 2 credit points (CP) or 80 academic hours including contact hours (in accordance to the study plan) and independent studies.

Final examination – exam.
