Attention Safety Communicators: Do you want everyone Speaking the Same Language on Safety? Are you frustrated that you're not getting the safety message cut through you desire? Your workforce is going to give you about one minute to convince them to work safely. Do you know what to say, or write, in those first 60 seconds? Employees quickly tune out when they hear bland, irrelevant safety messages. For too long they have been fed complicated, legalistic communication written for compliance that totally ignores that people actually want to feel safe at work. What is needed is a new and easy way to create compelling, targeted risk communication that catches attention and keeps it. Yet, at the same time motivates employees to change how they think and act about safety, in order to develop a safe, thriving and productive workplace environment. This new way is "Transform Your Safety Communication." As a safety leader, your role is to prevent workplace accidents. To do this, you need to change behaviour through safety communication. Being a safety culture change agent is crucial to your career success because how you communicate about safety influences whether or not people will accept or reject your safety messages. You need to read this if you want to: Craft attention grabbing and inspiring safety messages that makes safety meaningful. Create clear, consistent safety messages, so everyone works to a common standard. Understand the psychology behind why people don't listen and how to get around it. Engage workers on safety, no matter how cynical. Instantly generate relevant safety communication with easy to use frameworks and templates. What other Safety Leaders are Saying: "A thoroughly enjoyable read and will now take the place of my dictionary as the most used book on my desk." Michael Carney, HSE Manager Sydney, StarTrack "Simple sound theory backed up with experience, filled with tips and examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly of safety communication, finishing with a "how to" guide." Rachel Murphy, Health Safety and Compliance Coordinator, IHBI Queensland University of Technology "If you want to engage others and change their behaviour through effective communication, then this book is for you." Paul Harper, CEO/Principal Mining Engineer, AMC Consultants "Finally, a real communication book written for the safety professional. I only wish this book were written 15 years sooner." Morris, Elkins, CSP, CPEA, CPSA, Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt You'll Wish You Could Have Read it Years Ago! Safety professionals do not pass up this book! If you want to be the inspirational safety leader that you've always dreamed of being, this is the safety communication book for you.

Analyzing Media Messages provides a comprehensive and comprehensible guide to conducting content analysis research. It establishes a formal definition of quantitative content analysis; gives step-by-step instruction on designing a content analysis study; and explores in depth research questions that recur in content analysis, in such areas as measurement, sampling, reliability, data analysis, validity, and technology. This Second Edition maintains the concise, accessible approach of the first edition while offering an updated discussion and new examples. The goal of this resource is to make content analysis understandable, and to produce a useful guide for novice and experienced researchers alike. Accompanied by detailed, practical examples of current and classic applications, this volume is appropriate for use as a primary text for content analysis coursework, or as a supplemental text in research methods courses. It is also an indispensable reference for researchers in mass communication fields, political science, and other social and behavioral sciences.

The new edition of this widely adopted book reveals how the popular media contribute to widespread myths and misunderstanding about cultural diversity. While focused on the impact of television, feature film, and popular music, the authors reach far beyond media to explore how our understanding, values, and beliefs about race, class, gender and sexual orientation are constructed. They analyze how personal histories, combined with the collective history of oppression and liberation, contribute to stereotypes and misinformation, as well as how personal engagement with media can impact prospects for individual and social freedom. Along with updated media examples, expanded theories and analysis, this edition explores even more deeply the coverage of race in two chapters, discusses more broadly how men and boys are depicted in the media and socialized, and how class issues have become even more visible since the Great Recession of the 21st century and the Occupy movements. Special activities and exercises are provided in the book and an online Instructor's Manual is available to adopters.
