Transcript: Jasmine Hermans What role does communication play in the legalization of Cannabis in Canada? The Introduction The question this thesis aims to answer is: What role does communications have in the legalization of cannabis in Canada? This thesis will be an examination of the public relations (PR) and public affairs role in the legalization process. It will also explore how the government uses PR to raise awareness about laws to do with cannabis. Why Research Importance Research into the communication of legal cannabis is important because the legalization of recreational cannabis is new not only for Canada, but for the modernized world. How this new law is communicated should be studied. Secondary Questions Secondary Questions 1. How has the government used communication to express the legalization of recreational cannabis so far? 2. How has awareness been raised for the laws surrounding cannabis? 3. What steps have other countries taken in legalizing either recreational or medicinal cannabis? PR Relevance PR Relevance This research is related to public relations because with the development of public health campaigns by the government as well as the development of cannabis producers and distributors, PR will play a large role in how to address the public. It is important to note what has been done so far in terms of communication so that the role of PR can be clearly defined in the cannabis sector. The Background Background The legalization of recreational cannabis came into effect on October 17, 2018 in Canada after months of deliberation on what came to be Bill C-45 (Scotti, 2018). The legalization of the previously illicit substance has stirred controversy and raised more questions than answers. Problem Problem Communication must be clear during times of such large-scale policy change. The public needs to be aware of what is allowed and what is not, as well as their rights and abilities to buy, use and sell cannabis. My Goal Goal This thesis will aim to explore the role that communication has in the legalization of cannabis in Canada, specifically studying the campaigns that have run/are currently running to inform the public. It will examine the strategies and tactics used to communicate the legalization of cannabis, and hypothesize what role communications and PR will continue to play as the legalization ages. Government Recommendations The Current Research Health Canada (2018) advises: • Provide Canadians with the information they need to understand the regulated system • Provide Canadians with the facts about cannabis and its effects • Provide specific information and guidance to the different groups involved in the regulated cannabis market • Engage with Indigenous communities and Elders to develop targeted and culturally appropriate communications • Ensure that Canada shares its lessons and experience with the international community What is being done What is the Government of Canada doing? A large portion of government communication has been dedicated to public education on the risks of cannabis use, especially for young people. In fact, “the federal government has adopted a harm reduction approach to its education around cannabis. That means instead of warning the public not to consume it, the messages point out that there are circumstances where it should be avoided,” (The Canadian Press, 2018, para. 4). They plan to spend $100 million over the next six years to do so (The Canadian Press, 2018, para. 6). Health Canada (2018) advises: • Apply comprehensive restrictions to the advertising and promotion of cannabis and related merchandise by any means, including sponsorship, endorsements and branding, similar to the restrictions on promotion of tobacco products • Allow limited promotion in areas accessible by adults, similar to those restrictions under the Tobacco Act • Require plain packaging for cannabis products that allows the following information on packages: company name, strain name, price, amounts of THC and CBD and warnings and other labelling requirements • Impose strict sanctions on false or misleading promotion as well as promotion that encourages excessive consumption, where it is allowed Marketing & Branding Guidelines The primary research methodology that will be used to address the research question is interviews, potentially with government officials and industry experts. These interviews will help to gain an in-depth analysis of the process behind the communication plans and campaigns. Research Method The main limitation to the methodology being proposed is that the subjects being interviewed may not have time, or may refuse to participate. Limitations Why research cannabis communication? The Why This topic is of interest to me because I think that the change in policy on recreational cannabis is a positive one. It is a step forward in justice for people who have been unfairly incarcerated due to cannabis possession. It will also hopefully release the stigma for those who use the

Transcript: Lauren Klinger Thesis Proposal Defense Monday, January 24, 2011 Question: Why do organizations use videos and images like this? Because they stick with people? Because they will cut through the clutter of other ads? Because they will get people talking? Because they will cause changes in behavior? Purpose To examine the role of emotionality in persuasion from an interdisciplinary perspective. To allow additional theorizing about the role of goal compatibility and emotions in theories used in strategic communications. Theoretical Framework ELABORATION LIKELIHOOD MODEL (ELM) Central vs. Peripheral Processing COGNITIVE FUNCTIONAL MODEL (CFM) Five Discrete Emotions Approach Tendency Anger Activism Model "Anger only facilitates attitudes, intenions, and message processing when the message is processed by a favorable audience" SITUATIONAL THEORY of PUBLICS (STP) "People seldom seek information about situations that do not involve them. Yet, they will randomly process information about low-involvement situations, especially if they also recognize the situatiion as problematic" Goal Compatibility Model & Hypotheses Message Effects of Graphic Images H1: Goal compatibility influences intensity of emotion. H2: Intensity of emotion influences continued processing over time. H3: Goal compatibility influences continued processing over time through the intermediary of emotion. H4: Intensity of emotion influences willingness to communicate. H5: Goal compatibility influences willingness to communicate. H6: Intensity of emotion influences attitude toward the organization. H7: Goal compatibility influences behavioral intention. H8: Intensity of emotion influences behavioral intention. Experimental Design Participants: Mass Comm and Society Students All participants will see "Why I Don't Eat Chicken" Participants will complete a questionnaire, view the video, and organizational goal statement, and then complete another questionnaire. After two weeks, they will complete a third questionnaire without re-watching the video. Message Effects of Graphic Images Nightmare on Street Anger Sadness Guilt Behavioral Intention (Turner, Bessarabova, Hambleton, Sipek, Weiss, & Long, 2006, p. 5). Attitude Towards the Organization Goal Compatibility Fear Avoidance Tendency Grunig (1989) Intensity of Emotion Involvement Problem Recognition Constraint Recognition (Mitchell, 2001) Continued Processing Over Time Disgust Nabi (1999) Grunig, 1997, p. 15).
