Media And Ideology, Neil Postman
Media And Ideology, Neil Postman
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article conceptualizes media ecology as an analytical lens for understanding how successive communication technologies generate ideology, shaping language, cognition, and social organization. Integrating systems thought, Marxist materialism, and time space analysis, it traces transformations from the typographic revolution to contemporary television and computer environments. Case illustrations ranging from monastic clocks and the printing press to satellite linked financial markets reveal that each medium reconfigures cultural values such as individuality, privacy, rational discourse, and civic participation. The discussion underscores the responsibility of communication administrators to anticipate technological biases, cultivate critical literacy, and adapt curricula amid accelerating digital change. Concluding with …

A Response To The Roper Report On Electronic Career Preparation, David E. Tucker
A Response To The Roper Report On Electronic Career Preparation, David E. Tucker
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article evaluates an influential survey of broadcast executives that judged college preparation for electronic media careers. Through content analysis of the report’s findings, this article identifies conceptual ambiguity surrounding entry level positions, limited response detail, and reliance on broad generalizations. It highlights how undefined variables, including market size and curricular diversity, weaken claims that graduates lack real world skills, writing competence, and technology experience. The critique questions recommendations advocating industry instructors, faculty externships, and expanded internship programs, noting structural constraints in liberal arts curricula and institutional finance. By situating methodological flaws within media studies and higher education literature, this …
The Influence Of Structure On The Function Of An Administrative Unit: Single Focus Academic Structure Or Multiple Focus Academic Structure Raising -- Some Of The Issues, Robert F. Ross, Philip Emmert
The Influence Of Structure On The Function Of An Administrative Unit: Single Focus Academic Structure Or Multiple Focus Academic Structure Raising -- Some Of The Issues, Robert F. Ross, Philip Emmert
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article applies systems theory to examine how academic structure influences departmental functions within small universities, it contrasts single focus academic departments and multiple focus academic departments, assessing their effects on instruction, research, service, enrollment stability, credit hour production, faculty workload, budget flexibility, and administrative power. Through conceptual analysis and illustrative cases, this article argues that multiple focus configurations foster interdisciplinary curriculum, broaden student recruitment, and enable efficient resource allocation, while single focus units face constrained scheduling, program vulnerability, and duplicated governance tasks. It details how structure shapes faculty roles, advising practices, laboratory sharing, graduate program coordination, and external relations, …
The Relationship Of Structure To Function At The Community College Level: Saddleback College As Model, Lvnn K. Wells
The Relationship Of Structure To Function At The Community College Level: Saddleback College As Model, Lvnn K. Wells
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article analyzes how evolving governance arrangements in California public higher education shape operational decisions within a suburban community college speech communication department. Drawing on organizational analysis, it traces the effects of state reform legislation AB 1725, district campus hierarchies, and divisional affiliations on funding streams, credit hour generation, staffing ratios, course scheduling, and general education curriculum. The discussion shows that dependence on statewide full time equivalent student formulas and divisional budget priorities constrains capital purchases, promotes high enrollment basic courses, and limits elective offerings. Curriculum mandates requiring oral communication, writing, and critical thinking further complicate program design, while board …
The Value Of Fuzzy Lines, Stephen W. King
The Value Of Fuzzy Lines, Stephen W. King
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article develops an organizational scheme that explains how administrative structure influences the long term viability of communication programs in higher education. Drawing on organizational theory, it crosses composition and governance dimensions to build a two by two matrix that positions departments along continua from compositionally unified to compositionally diffused and from organizationally coherent to organizationally isolated. Through conceptual argument grounded in bureaucratic analysis, this article advances four propositions linking structural position to instructional capacity, research collaboration, external funding, resource allocation, political influence, and curricular flexibility. It contends that programs located in the unified coherent quadrant capitalize on economies of …
