Should we believe the media hype, there are changes in society’s epistemic foundation. Descriptions abound of a “post-truth society” – word of the year in 2016, according to Oxford Dictionaries. Post-truth denotes “circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” While the use and misuse of facts and research is nothing new, it might be possible to talk about an intensification due to changes in the media landscape leading to fragmentation and potentially to “echo chambers” where people seek to get their views confirmed without being exposed to counterarguments.
If it is correct that the epistemic foundation of society becomes more polarised, fragmented, uncertain and fluid, grasping the ways in which organisations communicate becomes important to understand what contributes to increase or decrease in social fragmentation. What truths are forwarded by public relations, and how do organizational intelligence and ultimate goals of profit and legitimacy play into this?
This special section of Public Relations Review accepts papers addressing the above challenges looking in particular on what this means for the following:
- Truth, trust, and transparency
- Value, evaluation, and measurement of public relations
- Education and capabilities

This call for proposals encourages researchers engaged in cutting edge leadership development research and/or practice to share their work in a special issue and a conference on that topic. This special issue call is in conjunction with the 27th Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference to be held March 1-2, 2019 at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, CA USA. Authors of proposals selected by the editorial team for the conference presentation will have an opportunity to showcase their work at the conference. Please note that authors who are unable to attend the conference will still get equal consideration by the editors in the review process. The timeline and important dates for the conference and special issue submissions are provided below.
Paying attention to the distinction between leader and leadership development (Day, 2000), topics that will be considered – for either empirical or theoretical contributions – include, but are not limited to:
- New ways of understanding how leaders and leadership develop;
- Approaches that facilitate the development of collective forms of leadership;
- Integrative, multidisciplinary, or transdisciplinary approaches to leadership development;
- Methods linking the development of leaders with collective leadership development;
- Evidence demonstrating the value or effectiveness of leader or leadership development interventions;
- Technological advances that facilitate the development of leaders and/or leadership;
- Developmental approaches in specific contexts (e.g., healthcare, professional services, education, military), which may not easily translate into other contexts but could advance deeper insights into leadership development (Bamberger & Pratt, 2010).
