Why It Matters

Transmedia CSR communication influences stakeholder trust and corporate accountability, with risks of greenwashing undermining ethical claims. Pineda-Martínez and Ruiz-Mora (2019) demonstrate how participatory transmedia strategies enhance internal engagement at Telefónica, promoting alignment between corporate actions and narratives. This ensures responsible practices in media campaigns, affecting consumer behavior and regulatory scrutiny.

Key Research Challenges

Detecting Greenwashing in Narratives

Distinguishing genuine CSR stories from deceptive ones across transmedia platforms challenges researchers. Analysis requires cross-media consistency checks. Pineda-Martínez and Ruiz-Mora (2019) highlight participation needs but note verification gaps in case studies.

Ensuring Narrative Authenticity

Maintaining ethical authenticity in multi-platform storytelling demands alignment with corporate actions. Stakeholders demand transparency amid fragmented media. Telefónica case shows mutual exchange benefits but exposes accountability risks.

Measuring Stakeholder Impact

Quantifying ethical effects on diverse audiences across media proves difficult without standardized metrics. Internal vs. external narrative divergences complicate assessments. Pineda-Martínez and Ruiz-Mora (2019) case underscores participation's role in impact evaluation.
