TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Key issue operatives in an issue-driven network: public relations as a "pocket of strength" in campus sexual assault awareness and prevention JO - Public relations review A1 - Madden, Stephanie A1 - Haught, Matthew J. A1 - James, Adelyn SP - e102114 EP - e102114 VL - 47 IS - 5 N2 - Within public relations, little research has been conducted on the relationship between networks and social issues management, particularly issues that are gendered and emotional. Through a social network analysis and in-depth interviews with individuals involved in a public university's sexual assault prevention and awareness work, this study demonstrates a missed opportunity for public relations experts to serve as key issue operatives in an issue-driven network. Specifically, public relations issue operatives can bridge network structural holes in the development and dissemination of comprehensive sexual assault awareness and prevention communication at universities.
