We’ll argument in this paper that the area of undergraduate studies that we can consider as belonging to the great area of the communication sciences and, in particular, those areas that have as one of their purposes also the professional training in Corporate Communications / Public Relations, seem to be navigating in a blurriness of both theoretical constructs and purposes, as well as a lack of public recognition. Moreover, it will be argued that the main purpose underlying all definitions should be the old idea from the Enlightenment that the mission of undergraduate studies is, before and above all, the shaping of rational and responsible citizens.

Culture, business, and communication are overlapping human phenomena. However, corporate communication methods have yet to embrace the complexity of organizational culture. Since the study of culture is anthropological in nature, we propose foregrounding autoethnography/autobiographical approaches and method to analyze corporate organizational culture. We argue that studying corporate communication, public relations, and society via the lenses of organizational culture and subsidiary organizational memory can provide unique insights into practice of corporate communication and the theorizing of organizational memory research. In this case example, we answer this question: In what ways can autobiographical/autoethnographic narratives of organizational members inform the theory, research, and practice in corporate communication?

The article examines the world and Ukrainian history of corporate periodicals. The main purpose of this study is to reproduce an objective global picture of the emergence and formation of corporate periodicals, taking into account the business and socio-economic context. Accordingly, its tasks are to compare the conditions and features of corporate media genesis in different countries, to determine the main factors of their development, as well as to clarify the transformations of the terminological apparatus. The research is based on mostly foreign secondary scientific works published from 1915 to the present time. The literature was studied using methods such as overview, historical, functional and thematic analysis, description, and generalization. A systematic approach was used to determine the role and place of each element in the system, as well as to comprehensively consider the object in the general historical context and within the current scientific discourse. The method of systematization made it possible to establish internal and external connections, patterns and contradictions in the development of the object of study. The main historical milestones on this path are identified, examples of the first successful corporate publications and their contribution to business development, public relations, and corporate communications are considered. It was found that corporate media emerged in the mid-nineteenth century spontaneously, on the wave of practical business needs in response to industrialization, company increase, staff growth, and consumer market development. Their appearance preceded the formation of the public relations industry and changed the structure of the information space. The scientific significance of this research is that the historical look at the evolution of corporate media provides an understanding of their place, influence, capabilities, and growing communicative role in the digital age.

Despite coming from a world-famous, widely published sociologist and ethicist, Zygmunt Bauman’s thought has not significantly influenced scholarship on public relations. Although Bauman’s works indeed challenge classical theories of public relations, they also offer concepts that can reshape current understandings of how organisations interact with publics. Referring to Bauman’s social and ethical theory, in this article, I argue that amid the transition from solid to liquid modernity, the boundaries between public relations and other communications disciplines also become liquid and ultimately dissolve. As a consequence, experts from traditional disciplines within communications (e.g. public relations, marketing and corporate communications) increasingly compete with data engineers to influence publics, and in the process, their attempts at persuasive communication neglect moral considerations. In light of that dynamic, I contend that the recent data scandal involving Cambridge Analytica does not represent a false start but the dark future of digital communications management.

The paper argues that there is a special demand for reputation managementin today’s corporate communications and public relations due to fragmented publics and stakeholders, as wellas to increased public interest in corporations. The introduction of real-time media has also imposed newdemands which corporations today must meet to survive. Different stakeholders possess the ability to benefitbut also to harm the corporations through corporate reputation. Cultivated stakeholder relations can beespecially beneficial to corporate reputation and long-term development, and the social ties that stakeholdersembody can even be seen as social capital for the corporation. A new concept of “Faith-holders” is alsopresented to better describe corporate social capital.<P>

Suatu perusahaan pada umumnya memiliki keinginan atau tujuan untuk maju, terus berkembang baik dalam maupun luar negeri. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut dibutuhkan dukungan dari stakeholder perusahaan. Public relations sebagai salah satu profesi yang memiliki peran penting dalam perusahaan turut memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mempererat hubungan internal perusahaan yang salah satunya dapat dicapai melalui media internal perusahaan atau in house journal. PT Bio Farma (Persero) dalam membangun hubungan internalnya dibantu oleh Seksi Hubungan Internal dalam Bagian Corporate Communications. PT Bio Farma (Persero) memiliki in house journal bernama BioMagz yang dibuat untuk mengedukasi karyawan mengenai perusahaan agar memiliki pengetahuan lebih banyak mengenai tempat mereka bekerja, agar menambah rasa bangga dan cinta terhadap perusahaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui seluruh proses pengelolaan BioMagz. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini terdapat empat komponen dalam pengelolaan in-house journal, yaitu perencanaan, alur pengumpulan konten/isi dan proses pra-cetak hingga tahap pencetakan. BioMagz memiliki susunan redaksi yang terdiri dari staff Corporate Communications dan terdiri dari 10 rubrik. Isi artikel dari rubrik diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi dan studi pustaka. Terdapat alur kerja yang pasti dalam pembuatan setiap edisi dari BioMagz sebelum akhirnya masuk tahap percetakan dan sirkulasi. Kesimpulannya adalah BioMagz berbentuk majalah, terbit setiap 3 bulan sekali dan termasuk kedalam in house journal yang ideal, namun dalam prakteknya masih ada alur kerja yang berantakan dan terdapat masalah dalam proses distribusi. Saran yang dapat diberikan adalah agar kembali melakukan evaluasi terhadap tahapan kerja dan jobdesc dari redaksi dan kuantitas dari BioMagz ditambah sehingga tersebar kepada seluruh karyawan.Kata-kata Kunci: House Journal, In House Journal, Public Relations, Hubungan Internal
