Sylvia Chan-Olmsted, University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Media Production, Management, and Technology professor and Media Consumer Research director, will be part of a research partnership to develop a valid and objectively verifiable model for the evaluation of media environment.

A team of corporate partners from practice and science including Mediaplus, Mediascale GmbH & Co. KG, the IU Internationale Hochschule and UF will examine the responsible communication of brands in media environments. They will jointly develop a practicable model for sustainable media planning and for strengthening relevant channel planning.

The team will seek to answer a variety of questions such as:

• Is media planning with sustainable environments preferable to traditional planning strategies?
• Which media rely on ethical guidelines, and what do they look like?
• How is the topic implemented in different media genres?
• Is there a link between content and advertised brand?
• Which approaches can be identified in the international market?

The social contribution of the media in terms of sustainability – the responsible handling of information — is increasingly coming into focus for branded goods companies.  So far, however, companies’ sustainability catalogs have hardly taken this special aspect of media into account.
