Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse Jan 1994

Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article discusses the trends in communication education in Hong Kong, China. Since communication is labor intensive, the need for personnel is swelling rapidly. Obviously, academic institutions in the region are faced with a tremendous challenge to encompass these developments. The School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist is attempting to meet the challenge. Hong Kong Baptist College, then a small, private diploma granting institution funded primarily from tuition fees, initiated its first program in communication. During the crucial period of its maturation from a diploma program to a degree course, the communication curriculum at Hong Kong Baptist was administered …

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke Jan 1994

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the implications of communication education transformations for curricular change in the U.S. Differences in education and training between public relations (PR) practitioners and journalists reflect, in part, effects of certain pressures brought to bear upon these professions. Any edge which graduates may have in the marketplace will depend on the extent to which their communication programs have focused on initial detection and measurement of related talents, skill development and enhancement, and discovery of communication-related careers that depend on the integration and application of these skills. With respect to faculty placement, infusing PR faculty into existing communication programs …

Alternative Career Opportunities, Or, Don't Sell Yourself Short!, David Balthrop

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article will attempt to discuss who is making an attempt to prepare their students for work outside of the field of study; pose the question of whose responsibility is it for preparing those students: faculty, universities and colleges, or the students themselves. In a survey sent out to all colleges and universities in Kentucky, only a small percentage (fewer than 3%) of the surveys returned acknowledged any help in the form of organized, structured post-graduation job opportunity discussions. All the forms returned indicated that the students wanted and needed that type of instruction. In order to locate other job …

Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills Jan 1994

Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of school administrators in addressing sexual harassment in theater and communication programs. On college and university campuses, by and large, men have power. Women on campus by and large trust these men who have power. The trust in such a relationship is precious, built over time through consistency, responsiveness and mutual concerns. Sexual harassment breaks that trust, destroys it completely, and in the process wounds those who are involved. The 9 to 5 organization has concluded that a strong policy is the best way to combat sexual harassment. A written policy easily becomes both the …

Newspaper Readership Among College Students In The Information Age: The Influence Of Telecommunication Technology, David J. Atkin Jan 1994

Newspaper Readership Among College Students In The Information Age: The Influence Of Telecommunication Technology, David J. Atkin

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article focuses on the influence of telecommunication technology on newspaper readership among college students in the U.S. during the 1990s. The findings presented suggest an explanatory role for such factors as age in readership. Income and marital status are also important correlates of readership, perhaps because they gauge one's stake or integration in the local community. The resulting loss of afternoon leisure was a leading cause in the decline of afternoon papers, which have been substituted with nightly TV news reporting. Given the role that demographic and media use variables play in newspaper readership, it will be important to …

A Framework For Surveying Communication Effectiveness In Institutions Of Higher Education, Charmaine E. Wilson, Sandra Hochel Jan 1994

A Framework For Surveying Communication Effectiveness In Institutions Of Higher Education, Charmaine E. Wilson, Sandra Hochel

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a framework for assessing communication effectiveness in higher education in the U.S. In light of cost concerns, most colleges and universities will opt for using internal expertise. This option is particularly feasible for post-secondary institutions in that they are likely to have available in-house expertise needed to conduct an effective assessment. The step of identifying available expertise from communication and other appropriate units is needed to gain broad expertise and multiple perspectives, avoid attributions of private agendas, and encourage units under analysis to view the process as a community effort. The assessing committee will want to set …

Mass Communication Education: A Plastic Rolex?, Tim Hamlett Jan 1994

Mass Communication Education: A Plastic Rolex?, Tim Hamlett

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses several aspects of mass communication education in the U.S. during the 1990s. According to professor J. M. McCall, communication educators should be telling communication professionals three things. The first is that academics do know what the profession requires. The second is that knowing perfectly well what the profession requires, the academics have decided not to provide it. The third observation is that there is no place in a university for that kind of education, which is trade skills and vocational training. McCall's case for change rest on two pillars: university politics and finances; and media studies in …

Unique Approaches And Problems In Recruiting Minority Students: The Use Of The Media, Richard R. Ranta Jan 1994

Unique Approaches And Problems In Recruiting Minority Students: The Use Of The Media, Richard R. Ranta

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article attempts to put the University of Memphis (UM) in a positive light by providing a vehicle to show that African-American students play a significant role at the University and have indeed been successful both at entering the University and while attending the University. The University has been so successful in graduating minority students that the Educational Testing Service is studying the University's programs to see if UM success can be duplicated at other institutions. Obviously, recruitment involves a variety of approaches other than media including a special fall and spring African-American Recruitment Day, special enrichment institutes during the …

Disciplinary Narratives For Change: The Emergence Of Performance Studies Within Athe And Sca, Ronald E. Shields Jan 1994

Disciplinary Narratives For Change: The Emergence Of Performance Studies Within Athe And Sca, Ronald E. Shields

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the emergence of performance studies within the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) and the Speech Communication Association (SCA). During recent years, the debate surrounding the emergence of performance studies within the professional organizations, SCA and ATHE, has generated both heat and light. Both debates centered on pragmatic and seminal questions of disciplinary cohesiveness and relevancy; each side in both debates also argued their respective positions from particular interpretations of disciplinary history. In SCA, the issue involved a name change within a large and respected Division: in ATHE, the entire membership was challenged to consider the …

Nfl Expands To Jacksonville - Bob Woolf Obit, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The Jacksonville Jaguars are the newest entry into the major sports explosion in Florida, as Jacksonville was awarded an NFL franchise a little over a week ago. Jacksonville joins Charlotte as the latest cities to be anointed by the power brokers in the National Football League. For the privileged Jacksonville has already spent several million dollars to secure the franchise, and now ownership will pay out $140M in franchise rights, while the people of Jacksonville will donate $121M for renovation of the aging Gator Bowl. In addition the new franchise owners will receive only one-half their share of the television …

The President of Florida State University, Dr. Dale Lick resigned last week after controversy surrounding his candidacy for the presidency of Michigan State University.

University Of Tennessee Media Day, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

While on vacation in the mountains of North Carolina adjacent to the mountains of Tennessee, I had the great privilege to see reports on the local TV stations of media day at the University of Tennessee. The interest of the media was not directed at the president of the university, or the unveiling of some new piece of technology or super computer, but rather it was media day for Big Orange football. All the solemnity usually reserved for religious exercises or the reporting of international diplomacy was dragged out for this occasion. I was struck particularly by the seriousness of …
