Abstract
The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.Despite increase mistrust between corporations and societies in the aftermath of\ud the global corporate misbehaviours, the literature examining the impact of community\ud concerns on corporate communications is undeveloped. Our paper is timely; it\ud contributes to the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) by considering the\ud impacts of community expectations on Corporate Community Involvement Disclosures\ud (CCID) using a ten-year panel study. We advance CSR communication research by\ud providing a fresh theoretical perspective - media-agenda-setting theory - to the broad\ud CSR debate and the CCID subset of this debate. Our findings support the media-agenda\ud theoretical expectation and provide important practice and policy recommendations for\ud improving interactions between corporations and their communities
