Synopsis

This volume of Communication Yearbook develops and improves the annual′s impressive tradition of providing the best of current research in communication science. It differs from its predecessors in that each chapter consists of a major work and two criticisms of it, dealing with such topics as the theory of mediation, effective policy for health care communication and feminist criticism of television. Other areas covered include organizational setting and the concept of the empowering organization, the perspective opened by conversation analysis and agenda-setting research. In each case a perceptive and incisive critique of every chapter is provided by one or more major communication scholars.
