Media Publicity and the Voluntary Sector: The Case of Nonprofit Organizations in New York City

Media publicity is an important resource for contemporary voluntary associations, but very little is actually known about the resources and organizational characteristics that are most important for getting media attention. To address this question, we collected and analyzed data on the organizational attributes and news publicity of 739 nonprofit organizations in New York City. We find that an organization's income, paid staff, membership size, and library resources are significantly related to getting media publicity, whereas the number of chapter affiliations is inversely related to publicity. Association type is also a significant factor that influences an organization's ability to get publicity. We discuss the implications that these findings have for current debates about advocacy and civic engagement in the nonprofit sector.     

试析布哈林国民经济综合平衡发展理论

列宁逝世以后，布哈林继续坚持和捍卫列宁的新经济政策思想，并结合俄国的实际，针对当时苏联国民经济发展中出现的一系列问题，总结过去经济建设中的经验教训，系统地阐发自己的观点，从而形成了关于国民经济综合平衡发展的比较全面系统的理论。他认为，要使国民经济持续健康发展，必须尊重客观经济规律，重视市场调节的作用，使工业和农业、重工业和轻工业、农业内部、积累和消费之间保持综合平衡。在建设有中国特色社会主义的今天，重温布哈林的国民经济综合平衡发展理论，无疑会给我们以很好的教益和启迪。     

论知识与知识性劳动

本文针对知识经济来临时代一些人对价值源泉的模糊认识,结合新的实际,在马克思主义经济学理论框架内对知识、知识性劳动进行了分析,在新的经济条件下发展了商品二因素理论和劳动二重性理论.在知识经济时代,人类劳动的主体形式从体力劳动转向智力劳动,知识成为当代经济发展的重要因素,但价值的源泉仍旧是人类劳动.本文通过区分知识和知识性劳动,澄清了模糊认识,阐明是知识性劳动创造了价值,而不是知识创造了价值.知识性劳动就是人们不断探索的劳动,从而知识经济的本质是创新,只有坚持劳动价值论,我们才能在知识经济社会中建立一个以人为本的、不断创新的经济运行机制.

Trends in online media relations: Web-based corporate press rooms in leading international companies

An analysis of 120 corporate websites from Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States reveals, for the first time, international results about the implementation and use of virtual press rooms. This article shows the importance that large international companies attribute to Web-based media centers to achieve organizational objectives and to meet journalists’ demands for information and audiovisual resources. The study also shows, however, that most press rooms are far from being complete, efficient, easy-to-use, reliable and updated on a daily basis. In fact, there is not a single country from those analyzed that consistently stands out from the rest. In most of them, good results in certain areas coexist with significant shortcomings in others, resulting in some cases in poor press rooms that may not achieve the desired public relations objectives.     

Monitoring and evaluation of loveLife's AIDS prevention and advocacy activities in South Africa, 1999–2001

loveLife is the largest effort ever launched in South Africa to change adolescent sexual behaviour with the aim of reducing the rate of HIV infection among 15–20 year olds by 50%, reducing other STIs, and reducing the incidence of teenage pregnancy. loveLife combines high-powered media awareness and education, development of adolescent-friendly reproductive health services, and outreach and support programmes. The 5-year research and evaluation plan includes a multi-year comprehensive observational study, tracking change in a range of behavioural indicators and in sexual health outcomes. In its first 2 years, loveLife reached more than 4 million youth. Sixty-two percent of youth and 59% of their parents/guardians recognize the brand, while the vast majority of parents (97%) and youth (89%) exposed to loveLife, identified loveLife as being positive. Challenges in the next years are the continued roll out of the programme, and the development of institutional support and behaviour change.
