Latest review

First review round: 16.3 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The reviewers made opposing recommendations (one to reject and other major revisions). The reviewers showed clear opposing appreciations. For example, one reviewer mentioned that it found the "contribution not strong enough to justify publication in one of the leading outlets in communications and PR research" and the other reviewer mentioned, about the same topic, "The information provided in this paper is new; at any rate, this reviewer is unaware of an equivalent study". The editor decided to reject (that is, to follow just one of the recommendations).
