I am chiefly interested in new media and organizational
communication. Within this area, I concentrate on nonprofit
organizations, yet also have an interest in the workings of the
financial markets. Conceptually, I am interested in questions
related to why organizations communicate in specific ways with
their external stakeholders. This leads me to study such areas as
organizational disclosure, organizational accountability, and
stakeholder relations. I am interested not only in understanding
why organizations do better or worse on these dimensions, but also
the effects of different disclosure, stakeholder relations, and
accountability practices.
