Communications Research in Action : Scholar-Activist Collaborations for a Democratic Public Sphere Hardback
Edited by Philip M. Napoli, Minna Aslama
Part of the Donald McGannon Communication Research Center's Everett C. Parker Book Series series
Hardback
Description
A synergy between academia and activism has long been a goal of both scholars and advocacy organizations in communications research.
The essays in Communications Research in Action demonstrate, for the first time in one volume, how an effective partnership between the two can contribute to a more democratic public sphere by helping to break down the digital divide to allow greater access to critical technologies, democratizing the corporate ownership of the media industry, and offering myriad opportunities for varied articulation of individuals’ ideas. Essays spanning topics such as the effect of ownership concentration on children’s television programming, the media’s impact on community building, and the global consequences of communications research will not only be valuable to scholars, activists, and media policy makers but will also be instrumental in serving as a template for further exploration in collaboration.
