Are press releases on Corporate Governance price sensitive? What is the impact of Corporate Governance information on stock prices of banks? This paper addresses these questions by applying an event study methodology on 70 press releases published by the Euro area banks listed on the Eurostoxx banks Index, from 2007 to 2016. Systemic shocks are explored as well idiosyncratic ones. Our results show that investment decisions are significantly but negatively influenced by the disclosure of a press release on corporate governance as if this kind of news leads investors to perceive the banks’ prospects negatively. The best of our knowledge this is the first paper that investigates European banks press releases on corporate governance. Findings are relevant for banks’ management and their disclosure policy. Nonetheless, further research is needed to investigate differences and similarities between an area of governance disclosure and another.

Over the past 5 years, addition of bevacizumab to combination chemotherapy for advanced, recurrent, and persistent cervical cancer has offered prolonged overall and progression-free survival. Since the original press release announcing the survival benefits of this antiangiogenesis therapy, there has been further study of bevacizumab related to quality of life, combination with other agents, use of imaging to evaluate likelihood of response, and development of biosimilars. This review summarizes publications related to bevacizumab use in advanced, recurrent, and persistent cervical cancer over the past 5 years since initial proof of concept of antiangiogenesis therapy and the initial dissemination of information regarding survival benefits of bevacizumab.

In January 2017, New Zealand’s medicines and medical devices safety authority, Medsafe, announced in a press release that its Medicines Classification Committee (MCC) had recommended a reclassification of certain oral contraceptives in order for them to be made available over the counter in pharmacies. In A/NZ, a progressive temporal narrative has been established around contraception that begins with the heroic struggle of women at the turn of the 20th Century to get access to contraception and abortion as a way to manage their reproductive lives and progresses to the guaranteed access of contraceptives to women. My intention to interrogate the contemporary contraceptive reality is not a project to undermine the historically important moves women have made here in A/NZ; but, rather, to include new places of analysis including how indigenous communities experienced the same contraceptives moments differently under the gaze of a eugenics project.

Although the Ingelfinger rule seems to have dissolved into dust with the coming of covid-19,1 I was a little disappointed that your journal seems to have mirrored Merck’s press release about molnupiravir without substantial critical comment.2 Molnupiravir …

The antiviral drug molnupiravir reduced the risk of admission to hospital or death by around 50% in non-hospitalised adults who had mild to moderate covid-19 and were at risk of poor outcomes, Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) has reported.1 The company said in a press release that 7.3% of patients (28 of 385) who received molnupiravir as part of the phase III trial and 14.1% of patients taking placebo (53 of 377) either were admitted to hospital or had died by day 29 after randomisation. At day 29 no deaths were reported in the molnupiravir group, while eight were reported in the …

Protection provided by two doses of the Pfizer and the AstraZeneca covid-19 vaccines wanes within six months, an analysis of UK data suggests. The latest analysis from the Zoe Covid Study, which investigates real world vaccine effectiveness, examined data from positive PCR test results between May and July 2021 among 1.2 million people who had received two doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine. The results, released in a press release, show that protection after two doses of the Pfizer vaccine decreased from 88% at one month to 74% at five to six months; protection for AstraZeneca decreased was from …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the restatement information disclosed in the Form 8K and the Press Release. It examines the relationship between manipulating the quantity, quality, manner and timing of restatement information and the probability of committing fraud. Design/methodology/approach The authors used 18 informational indicators developed by BenYoussef and Breton (2016), and applied the prediction methodology based on F-scores, developed by Dechow et al. (2011). Findings Results indicate that the information content of restatement announcements provides significant insights into the likelihood of fraud occurrence. A firm that manipulated previous earnings will continue to do so, and will try to mislead investors by releasing inaccurate and incomplete information in the Form 8K and the Press Release. The model helps identify this manipulation and hence can be used as a tool for fraud detection. Research implications/limitations This paper applies the constructs drawn from Information Manipulation Theory to restatement contexts to detect fraud. Practical implications The paper is of use to regulators, investors and financial crime experts, as it provides insights to better fraud detection. Originality/value The paper is based on proprietary data that were hand collected, and is being used first time to predict fraud.

Popular attention has recently been captured by the results of the Bodleian Library's 2017 project of radiocarbon datingportions of the birch-bark fragments constituting what is known as the Bakhshālī Manuscript. In this paper, we disagree with the interpretation of the findings announced by the Bodleian team. In particular, we argue that the earliest dated folio of this manuscript is unlikely to be the date of the whole text. Rather, the latest dateable folio is logically the date of the scribal activity. This fits well with past estimates of the date of the Bakhshālī Manuscript based on historical, philological and palaeographic arguments.. And we argue that the Bakhshālī Manuscript does include written zeros that function as arithmetical operators, i.e., as numbers in their own right, and not merely as place-holders, as asserted by the Bodleian team. Finally, we express regret that the Bodleian Library chose to announce scientific results without peer-review and through a press release to newspapers and a YouTube video.

This study investigates an association between press release and news media response on tobacco-related issues in South Korea. We retrieved 231 tobacco-related newspaper articles from all major dailies throughout the year 2005. In total, 37 press releases on tobacco-related issues and policies published by the Korea Ministry of Health and Welfare were obtained from the Ministry website. Content analysis and appropriate statistical tests were performed. Results from our content analysis suggest that producing more press releases on tobacco-related issues may result in a greater volume of newspaper articles, and that a press release on a new topical issue may effect more intense media coverage. Findings also show that when Korean newspaper articles overall held less favorable views of tobacco-related policies and programs in 2005, taxation was the most frequent theme with a non-positive opinion. Findings from our multivariate logistic regression models imply that a newspaper article with a source press release—especially about a new topical issue—is more likely than an article without a source press release to discuss tobacco-related issues more positively. Our findings suggest that a press release may serve as an effective media strategy for reaching out to the public by disseminating tobacco-control efforts and policies.

Mignon Nixon reflects on the Manchester Arena bombing, London Bridge and Borough Market attack, and Grenfell Tower fire in London, as well as the 2017 Venice Biennial, via J-B Pontalis's writings on the psychoanalytic notion of death-work. Nixon argues that the defining problem of Christina Macel's exhibition Viva Art Viva in Venice, an exhibition so insistently art- and artist-positive—“designed with artists, by artists, and for artists” as the press release notes—is that its aesthetics of redemption is predicated on a negation of life, and thereby a negation of art.

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.

Using a phenomenological approach, the article describes the experience of viewing a recent exhibition of Thomas Demand’s photographs. The focus is on both the visual experience itself, and the extent to which the events of the weekend inextricably intertwine with the way the photographs make meaning. Demand’s large-scale photographs are found to be more than just surfaces intended for aesthetic appreciation through visual inspection. His construction process, from source-image, to model, to photograph, supplemented with an information-laden press release, creates visual connection-points inextricably interwoven in the experience of being itself. Demand’s work, it is argued, through conspicuous refusal to easily connect indexically to the original scene, makes visible ways in which photography may be understood through ways of knowing described by existential phenomenology.

Managers have a variety of tools at their disposal to influence stakeholder perceptions. Earnings management and the strategic reporting of non-GAAP earnings are just two of the available menu choices. We explore how real earnings management and accruals management influence the probability that a company will disclose a non-GAAP adjusted earnings metric in its earnings press release and the likelihood that it will do so aggressively. We first investigate situations where managers already meet analysts’ expectations either based on strong operating performance or after employing real and accruals management. We find that when solid operating performance alone allows firms to meet expectations, managers do not employ earnings management or non-GAAP reporting. However, when managers meet expectations using real and accruals management, they are significantly less likely to report a non-GAAP earnings metric. Next, we explore scenarios where companies fall short of expectations. We find that when they just miss expectations after managing GAAP earnings, they are significantly more likely to employ non-GAAP reporting, suggesting that the timing and relatively costless nature of non-GAAP reporting allows managers to appear to meet expectations on a non-GAAP basis when managed GAAP earnings fall short. Moreover, we find that companies are more likely to report non-GAAP earnings (and to do so aggressively) when they are unable to use real or accruals earnings management, are constrained by prior-period accruals management, and their operating performance is poor. Taken together, our results are consistent with a substitute relation between non-GAAP reporting and both real and accruals management. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Autophagy is a cellular process of destruction and recycling. Cellular materials are broken down and recycled as needed, providing the body a way to remove unwanted material while also providing the means to create new needed items. The importance of this process and its possible role in numerous diseases is why Yoshinori Ohsumi has been awarded a 2016 Noble Prize. Ohsumi has been awarded the 2016 Nobel in Physiology or Medicine for his “discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy and thus paving the way for the exciting field of autophagy research” (Nobelprize.org “Press release: The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.”).

First paragraphs: I worked as the director of the East New York Farms! (ENYF) Project for seven years, from 2006 to 2013. As media interest and general excite­ment about sustainable food grew during that time, assessing potential opportunities for “partnership” and participation in the broader world of sustain­able food work (that is, outside East New York) became an increasingly important part of my role and an increasingly significant way in which we defined what we were, and were not, about. The route to participation by ENYF in Food Dignity started with Megan Gregory, a Ph.D. student at Cornell, inviting our then farm manager, David Vigil, and some of our youth leaders to speak at a conference in Ithaca, New York. I remember David coming back and telling me that “they treated us like royalty,” as he described being picked up in Ithaca, taken out to dinner at the world-famous Moosewood Restaurant, and generally welcomed and appreciated by Megan and the other hosts at Cornell. We accepted the invita­tion to this conference largely because of the leadership-development opportunity it afforded to our youth members to share their experiences in food justice work and hear from others. Had it been an invitation for just our staff to speak, we may not have felt that we could justify committing the time to this; invitations to food-related con­ferences were frequent, but we always prioritized our work on the ground....

First paragraph: When asked to tell the story of how and why I was invited and decided to join the Food Dignity research project, I found myself traveling back over a long road full of unexpected turns, bumps, discoveries, and delights. And as I began to reflect over the five years spent implementing that project in Tompkins County, New York, I was once more awed by the countless stories to be told and knew that, at best, I could offer merely a glimpse of the wonderful and challenging experi­ences that were ultimately instrumental in learning valuable lessons for cultivating sustainable food systems. In sharing the process and results of being part of such a unique opportunity, I hope to both inspire and challenge readers to explore the possi­bilities that can exist when the sustainability of our food systems places a high value on everyone experiencing “dignity” in their relationship to food—whether as a consumer, entrepreneur, farmer, composter, or activist....

First paragraphs: If I can do something to help my people, and to help other people understand Indian people better and to appreciate our culture, then I have done what my father asked me to do in 1969 when he asked me to come home to the reservation and help my people in whatever way I could. In the last 50 or 60 years of my life, with the assistance of other people, I have been able to make some changes. When my son, Jim Sutter, and I came back home to Wind River Indian Reservation, we knew our people needed health and human services, not just more clinical services. We thought we espe­cially needed to help people with food and nutri­tion. More generally, I thought that other people—researchers, academics, historians—need a better picture of what we Indians are all about in ways that neither glorify us nor demean us. Too often we are portrayed only on one side or the other.... See the press release for this article.

Bugün sosyal yaşamı belirleyen en önemli merkezlerden birisi de medyadır. Bir çok insanınyaşamını medya aracılığıyla algılayıp, yorumladığı kabul edilmektedir. Medya denildiğizaman bilgileri ve mesajları saklamak, uzaktan iletmek, siyasi ve kültürel deneyimleringüncelleştirilmesi yönündeki üç temel işlevi, bütünüyle ya da kısmen gerçekleştirmeimkânı sağlayan tüm işletim sistemleri anlaşılmaktadır. Medya bilgilendirme, kültüraktarımı, eğlendirme ve toplumsal hale getirme, mal ve ürünlerin tanıtılmasında reklamaracı 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 önemligörevlerinden biri de haberle birlikte bilgi sunmaktır. Medyanın bu özelliğiyle günlükyaşamdan, sağlığa, siyasete ve ekonomiden, özel yaşama ilişkin pek çok bilgiyi geniş halkkitlelerine ulaştırmaktadır. Toplum, medya sayesinde bilgilenir ve aynı zamanda medyaile yön bulur; bu özellik medyaya haber yapımında büyük sorumluluk yüklerken, toplumoluşturulan vizyon veya gündem de birer medya ürünüdür.Toplumsal yaşamı bir düzene oturtmak için her toplum, kendi kültürel değerleridoğrultusunda yaşamın tüm alanlarını kapsayacak kurallar oluşturmuştur. Gelenek vegörenek kuralları, mesleki özelliklere göre belirlenen mesleki uygulama ilke ve kurallarısosyal yaşama belirli bir düzen sağlar. Bu doğrultuda, toplumlara ait çeşitli kültürelunsurların dikkate alınmasıyla ortaya çıkan ve genellikle yazılı olmayan ahlaki kurallar,sosyal yaşamın her alanına yayılır. İş ve meslek uygulamaları da belirli ahlaki yani etikkurallar doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilir. Her meslek alanının olduğu gibi burada da birtakım evrensel etik değerlerden söz edilebilir.Bu çalışmada, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Halkla İlişkiler veReklamcılık Yüksek Lisans öğrencileri; K. Akın Toker, Orhun Demirci, Yasemin Yıldırım,Necdet Arıkan, Zeynep Kantarcı, Sefa Koç ve Musa Duman tarafından, “Basın Bülteni veDuyurularına Eleştirel Mesleki Yaklaşımlar” dersi kapsamında yapılan 7 adet farklı içerikliörnek çalışma kapsamında, basın bültenlerinin haberleştirilmesi ve bunların gerçektenasıl işlenmesi gerektiği, adli-idari birimlerin tutum ve davranışları ile kamuoyununbeklentilerinin nasıl olması gerektiği eleştirel bakış açısı ile ele alınarak irdelenmiştir., Today, media is one of the most important centers designating social life. It is accepted thatmany people in the modern world perceive and interpret life through media. The notion ofmedia comprises all operating systems enabling the three basic functions which include;keeping information and messages, conveying them remotely and updating political and culturalexperiences, either completely or partially. While fulfilling functions such as informing, conveyingculture, entertaining and socializing, mediating commercials to publicize goods and products;media also fulfills the functions of making a political propaganda, inspecting and criticizing,creating a public opinion, discussing and establishing a dialogue.Considering the relationship of press statements with media; one of the most importantfunctions of media is to provide news and information. By this means, media provides peoplewith extensive information; from fashion to health and to politics, from economy to private life.Society is informed and also directed via media, which consequently lays a great burden on mediaespecially while conveying news. In other words, the vision or agenda created for all incidents insociety is largely a product of media.Every community has established rules comprising all areas of life in accordance with their owncultural values to put social life in order. Rules of customs and traditions, as well as principlesand rules of professional practice that are determined according to professional qualities providesocial life with a certain order. Accordingly, moral principles that arise on the basis of variouscultural elements of communities and are usually unwritten spread in every area of social life.Occupational and professional applications are carried out according to certain moral (ethical)rules, as well. As in every area of profession; media also has certain social and universal ethicalapplication rules.In the study, the graduate students K. Akin Toker, Orhun Demirci, Yasemin Yildirim, NecdetArikan, Zeynep Kantarci, Sefa Koc and Musa Duman from Adnan Menderes University Institute ofSocial Sciences Department of Public Relations and Advertising examined the reporting of pressbulletins, how to process them in reality, attitudes and behaviors of judicial/administrative unitsand expectations of the public, within the scope of a case study which was conducted using sevendifferent contents within the context of the “Critical Professional Approaches to Press Bulletinsand Releases” lesson from a critical viewpoint.

Background: Exaggerations in health news were previously found to strongly associate with similar exaggerations in press releases. Moreover, such press release exaggerations did not appear to attract more news. Methods: Here we tested the replicability of these findings in a new cohort of news and press releases based on research in UK universities in 2014 and 2015. Press releases and news were compared to their associated peer-reviewed articles to define exaggeration in advice, causal claims and human inference from non-human studies. Results: We found that the association between news and press releases did not replicate for advice exaggeration, while this association did replicate for causal claims and human inference from non-human studies. There was no evidence for higher news uptake for exaggerated press releases, consistent with previous results. Base exaggeration rates were lower for human inference from non-human studies, possibly reflecting the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research in the UK. Conclusions: Overall, the picture remains that the strength of news statements is normally associated with the strength of press release statements, and without evidence that exaggerated statements get significantly more news.

Opening paragraph: Do foodies need to know about capitalism? Every­body trying to change the food sys­tem—farmers, farmworkers, chefs, people fighting to end hunger and diet-related disease—all of us need to know about capitalism. Why? Because we have a capital­ist food system. After all, you wouldn’t start farm­ing without knowing something about growing plants, or start a website without knowing some­thing about computers, or fix the roof on a house without knowing something about carpentry. I know, most of us are too busy trying to solve prob­lems within the food system to sit around analyzing the food system as a whole. We concentrate on one or two issues—healthy food access, organic agriculture, GMO labeling, pesticide poisoning, seed sovereignty… The list is long. On top of that, we don’t really talk about capitalism in capitalist countries. Before the 2008 financial crash, it was awkward even to mention the term ‘capitalism.’ But the truth is our food and capitalism have co-evolved over the last 200 years. If we want to know about our food system, we have to know about capitalism. That way, we can change it. See the press release for this article.

The Garfagnana region of Tuscany has witnessed a resurgence in the small-scale farming sector. Rooted in a historical practice of multifunctional agriculture, over the last decade family farmers and local institutions have increasingly focused on place-based development initiatives, such as reval­orizing native livestock breeds and promoting agroecological practices, as ways to strengthen small-scale agriculture and the local rural economy. This place-based turn is now reshaping the devel­opment trajectories of many family farms and communities in Garfagnana. Drawing on qualitative field research con­ducted in 2015, this paper utilizes the sociological conceptual lenses of multifunctional agriculture and place-based development to analyze three case-study farms, each with different production sys­tems and territorial relations. Multifunctional agri­culture theory is used to analyze how farming prac­tices in the three case-studies represent a range of adaptive shifts away from productionist trends and toward a more diversified farming approach. Then place-based theory is used to demonstrate how these multifunctional agriculture practices relate to the distinct socio-ecological landscape of Gar­fagnana, uniquely rooting these farms in the terri­tory. This article ultimately examines how new forms of multifunctional agriculture are fostering a place-based food and agriculture system in central Italy and how this approach can strengthen family farming and rural communities.

In communities across North America, organiza­tions have launched local food system initiatives as a response to the depredations of the globalized agri-food economy; however, they increasingly find that they cannot achieve their desired impacts or sustain their ventures by operating solely within their home communities. Consequently, they embark on regional food system development initiatives. Drawing upon the experiences of 41 organizations—including Working Land­scapes, a grassroots nonprofit that two authors of this paper direct—this paper examines emerging regional food initiatives in the rural, economically distressed region of northeastern North Carolina. We eluci­date characteristics that differentiate regional initia­tives from the same organizations’ local activities. We find that regional initiatives are motivated by organizations’ strategic needs, which are highly variable in spatial scale, largely uncoordi­nated with each other, and not yet successful in fully achieving their goals. Drawing upon this analysis, we identify opportunities to increase the effectiveness of regional food system initiatives by increasing shared understandings of these initia­tives and advancing region-scale planning.

This study aims to monitor the mechanism followed by Palestinian news websites dealing with news in the Israeli media especially websites, and how this data is sorted to serve the goals of Palestinian websites and citizens.The main hypothesis in the study deals with transforming data from Israeli media as is without any professional review. This makes Palestinian news websites a spokesperson to Israeli media repeating their idioms and terms that prejudice the identity and message of Palestinian media. The power of the Israeli media and its concern in competition and acceleration contributed in getting the Palestinian websites out of their goals of supporting the affairs of the Palestinians and the Palestinian cause to confront the Israeli occupation. The study responds to these questions: Do the Palestinian websites become a platform to rebroadcast the Israeli news? Do these websites serve the Israeli media message? Does the competition between these websites is a cause to follow the Israeli speech? The researcher will apply the descriptive approach based on interviewing the staff of news websites specialized in Israeli media due to the lack of studies in this area. It includes terms related to the Palestinian cause mainly the Israeli media, the Palestinian news websites, and the Israeli version. In order to achieve the goal of the study, the researcher divided the study into two divisions; First: the history of Israeli media and the evolution of the Palestinian new websites. This section deals with two subjects; the history of Israeli media, and the formation and evolution of the Palestinian new websites. The second division searches the sources of Israeli information and how the Palestinian news websites handle it. This section discusses two subjects; the Israeli information sources, and the Palestinian news websites handling with the Israeli media. These divisions aim to reach the goal of the study and come out with results valid for circulation. https://doi.org/10.24897/acn.64.68.410

Živimo v turbolentnih časih, kjer se družbene in tehnološke smernice hitro spreminjajo, vse industrije pa se prilagajajo digitalnemu svetu. Ena izmed teh industrij je glasbena industrija, kjer sporočanje novic poteka izven okvirjev tradicionalnih medijev. Sporočila za javnost so se prelevila v objave na družbenih medijih, saj imajo tako večji doseg publike, hkrati pa omogočajo kreativnejši in dvosmerni način komuniciranja. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretskega opisa transformacij od tradicionalnega sporočila za javnost do objave na družbenih medijih in pa študije primera, ki temelji na kanadskem predstavniku glasbene kulture, nastopajočim pod imenom Drake, in njegovim načinom podajanja informacij sledilcem v obliki objav na družbenih medijih. We live in turbolent times, where social and technological guidelines are changing rapidly and all industries are adapting to the digital world. One of these industries is the music industry, where news reporting goes beyond traditional media frameworks. Traditional press releases have transformed into social media press releases since they have a greater audience reach while at the same time allowing a more creative twoway communication. The thesis consists of a theoretical description of transformations from a traditional press release to a social media press release and a case study based on a Canadian pride and joy of musical culture, performing under the name od Drake and his way of providing information to his followers in the form of social media press releases.

This paper studies a crawler system for public cyber incident information published from official press release websites. The incidents information dataset allows us to identify the primary source of incidents and countermeasures of the cyber incidents. However, organizations publish the incident press releases in arbitrary format, which prevents us from automating annotation and classification. To address this issue, we propose a machine learning technique in conjunction with a webpage crawler and reports the accuracy and the performance of the developed cyber incident information system.
