Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Institutions offering terminal degrees reported the largest budgets, with some exceeding one million dollars, while those granting associate or bachelor’s degrees operated with much smaller resources. Supplemental income was most often generated through box office receipts, followed by student activity fees, individual and corporate …

The Shift From Emphasis In Public Communication In Rhetorical Studies, Waldo W. Braden

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the expansion of rhetorical studies from a focus on public address to the broader category of public communication. It reviews how rhetorical scholarship has increasingly embraced non-traditional subjects such as films, music, literature, and popular culture, moving away from orality and the analysis of individual speeches. Drawing on a survey of recent issues of the Quarterly Journal of Speech, the discussion finds that most published work concentrated on movements, themes, or philosophical issues rather than close studies of contemporary speakers or specific texts. While acknowledging the intellectual breadth gained by this shift, the article warns that such …
