Help or Hype during Hurricane Katrina...
The life of a PhD student--presenting papers at conferences...
I've written a paper on the efforts of the Top 100 brands during Hurricane Katrina and whether those efforts were true giving efforts (help) or just words of encouragement (hype). I studied the websites of those top 100 brands just after Hurricane Katrina struck to see how those brands publicized their concern and whether or not that concern actually translated into a cash donation or effort on the part of the firm. Interestingly, those firms that did donate to help the Hurricane Katrina victims gave a total of $105 million dollars.
I'll be presenting this paper "Help or Hype: Symbolic or Behavioral Communication During Hurricane Katrina" to the Ninth Annual International Public Relations Research Conference, March 9-12, 2006 in Miami, Florida.
