2023 (English)In: Organizing in the Face of Global Crises: Communication, Strategy, and “Doing the Right Thing” / [ed] Cecilia Cassinger, John McClellan, Visa Penttilä, Monica Porzionato & Charlotte Simonsson, Toronto, Canada: International Communication Association , 2023Conference paper, Oral presentation with published abstract (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This study aims to understand how public sector organization, in this case, the Swedish Police, communicates about public safety through their social media presence. This study utilizes a participatory process method by using critical making workshops consisting of discussions, actions, and reflections to capture participants' sensemaking processes. Thus, sensemaking is therefore used as the theoretical lens. The empirical material builds on a couple of critical making workshops with four police employees from the Police Region South [Polisregion Syd] in each session, focusing on creating social media communication strategies. This is achieved to develop, understand, and strategically deepen the sense of safety by taking a bottom-up perspective to grasp the polyphonic character and the complexity of the communication.
