Spiro Kiousis, University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications executive associate dean, Pamala Proverbs, Ph.D. 2021, Xiaomeng Lan, Ph.D. 2019, and doctoral student Osama Albishri, are the co-authors of “Applying Care to Political Public Relations: Crisis Communication Following the Terrorist Attack in New Zealand” published in the Journal of Public Interest Communications, Vol. 5 No. 1 (2021).

In the article, the authors focus on New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s use of care and a feminist approach that served to unite rather than divide her country following the racially motivated terrorist attack on mosques in her country.

According to the authors, “Grounded in a consideration of care and agenda building theories, it reveals that a caring approach to political communication (both verbal and nonverbal) following an act of terrorism can influence the media agenda and by extension public opinion.”
