State of the art review paper
1 like3,402 views
This document discusses the changing state of communication studies due to technological advances and globalization. Georgette Wang argues that the existing communication paradigm no longer adequately guides the field due to changes like increased mobile phone and internet use worldwide. As media consumption patterns shift globally, with growth in Asia, Africa and Latin America replacing declines in North America and Europe, the existing Western-focused paradigm must also shift to remain relevant on a global scale. The document examines calls from Wang and others for new theoretical frameworks and a paradigm shift to decentralize communication research and better incorporate diverse cultural perspectives from around the world.
