We haven’t done this in a while. Let’s look at some of the things I’ve posted on the ICR Twitter account. The point here is to highlight some of the really cool research coming out of The Media School and, specifically, the Institute for Communication Research.
These studies are all published or appearing at conferences and so on. All of the work is quite brilliant and there’s a little something here for everyone. But check all of these out.
If you play them simultaneously you’ll get an incredible symphony. Give that a try, too.
A new book co-edited by @IUMediaSchool's @LaurnSmith and @AuburnU's offers a critical examination of the NCAA's contradictory communication practices and, as Smith says, offers readers a rare multi-discipline approach.
