The article analyzes the phenomenon of femvertising as a marketing and communication strategy aimed at women, ideologically inspired by feminisms, destroying gender stereotypes. It is contrasted with advertisements that exploit the female image, sexualize women or show women in the context of only domestic work. Based on the works of E. Becker-Herbie, M. Mendenez, K. Linder, as well as I. Goffman, the article analyzes female gender displays in advertising for the Russian audience. The repertoire of analyzed gender representations in advertising demonstrates the content of femvertising: from a set of social problems that oppress women to a broadcast discourse of strength, independence, solidarity and self-confidence. The question that remains open is whether femvertising can sell as well as it can mobilize a new generation of forward thinking.

This research is intended to review the use of Facebook by Indonesian farmer community in the strategic political platform. This issue is important to formulate as participatory communication stresses the importance of dialogue and rejects strategic communication efforts. If the community's active involvement in normative social change is desirable and pragmatically important to produce sustainable change, it is necessary to discuss how communication, strategy, and participation are interrelated. The results of this study indicate that the use of Facebook as a social networked site by the Indonesian farmer community is still dominated by information sharing and knowledge of cultivation and trading, as well as a medium for social interaction. Strategic political discourse occasionally and weakly appears related to government policies that are considered to be inadequate to farmers, among others related to rice import policy during the harvest, and the lack of government attention when their crops are faced with price declines, while production costs are steadily increasing. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk meninjau penggunaan media sosial Facebook oleh komunitas petani Indonesia dalam platform politik strategis. Permasalahan ini penting untuk dirumuskan karena komunikasi partisipatoris menekankan pentingnya dialog dan menolak upaya-upaya komunikasi strategis. Jika keterlibatan aktif masyarakat dalam perubahan sosial secara normatif diinginkan dan secara pragmatis penting untuk menghasilkan perubahan yang berkelanjutan, perlu untuk membahas bagaimana komunikasi, strategi, dan partisipasi saling terkait. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Facebook sebagai situs sosial berjaringan oleh komunitas petani Indonesia masih didominasi oleh sharing informasi dan pengetahuan budidaya dan tata niaga, di samping sebagai media untuk interaksi sosial. Wacana politik strategis muncul sekali-sekali terkait dengan kebijakan pemerintah yang dianggap kurang berpihak kepada petani, antara lain terkait dengan kebijakan impor beras saat panen raya, dan kurangnya perhatian pemerintah manakala hasil panen mereka dihadapkan pada penurunan harga, sementara biaya produksi diwacanakan semakin mahal. This research is intended to review the use of Facebook by Indonesian farmer community in the strategic political platform.

Community involvement is a very important aspect in the implementation of any project. Without community buy-in, a project may never get off the ground or will not be accepted once it is completed. This study investigated participatory communication strategies used in implementation of public water projects in Murang'a County (Kenya). The study aimed to assess participatory communication strategies used in the implementation of public water projects in Muranga County. The results of the study indicated that community grouping (27.2%) was the most preferred method of involving the public in the implementation of the Northern Collector Project. The results further indicated that use of community groups was the most effective participatory communication strategy in implementation of Northern Collector Tunnel project. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Studies on the effects of communication strategies applied by top management during organizational change are scarce. While first research indicates that a participatory communication strategy is more effective in evoking employees’ commitment to change than a programmatic change communication strategy, how this effect occurs remains unclear. The present study addresses this gap by investigating perceived procedural fairness as mediating and past change experience as moderating factor in the relationship between communication strategy and commitment to change. Results of the quasi-experimental study indicate that participatory change communication strengthens fairness perceptions more than programmatic change communication does. Results indicate that perceived procedural fairness explains the effect of change communication strategy on commitment to change. No moderating but a direct effect of past change experiences was found. Results show the potential of participatory change communication, and the importance of procedural fairness early in change, which are valuable insights for managers who initiate change.

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.
