CommLog

In 2001, with support from the National Science Foundation, a group of communication researchers produced a 40-page monograph detailing emerging issues in communication. Entitled Communication: Ubiquitous, Complex, Consequential, the monograph reviews what is known and emerging about communication in four areas:

Politics and society

Public health and well-being

Organizational communication

Relational development

The monograph is a very clear, accessible summary of a typically academic and technical body of communication theory and research. It's worth reading, and you can see or download the monograph (in PDF / Acrobat format) here. (Selfishly, we're also proud to say that the monograph reflects the work of two friends of CRA: Dr. Marshall Scott Poole and Dr. Noshir Contractor.)
