By interpreting Musk not as an outlier but as a paradigmatic figure within a broader ideological trend, the study explains why established principles of communication and stakeholder theory are increasingly eroded in platform capitalism. The award committee highlighted the paper\u2019s compelling integration of critical theory, ideology analysis, and platform research, as well as its important contribution to rethinking the normative foundations of communication practice under conditions of digital power structures.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Dr. Diana Ingenhoff (Universit\u00e9 de Fribourg) and Prof. Dr. Philipp Bachmann have received the European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA) Best Paper Award\u00a0for their contribution \u201cAyn Rand in Tech Leadership: Critical Perspectives on Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter Takeover and the Erosion of Communication and Stakeholder Principles.\u201d\u00a0 The paper offers an innovative, critically informed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2982,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dcm_mediacom","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2980"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2986,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2980\/revisions\/2986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.unifr.ch\/seswebzine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
