Summary: In this volume, the authors bring forth original research that delves into the impact of narratives on teacher identity, the framing of adoption in media coverage, struggles to transform public perceptions in energy policy debates, and the communication practices of electronic cigarette companies. The issue also examines the dynamics of direct action and public interest communication through a case study on SeaWorld, and it analyzes the strategies employed in activists' corporate campaigns. Additionally, a study explores how narrative perspective and interaction depiction influence attitudes and perceptions in the context of mediated vicarious contact with transgender individuals.
