Professor emerita Chris Ogan and students in her spring semester J614 Communication and National Development class are authors of a paper accepted for publication by the journal International Communication Gazette. “Development Communication: The State of Research in an Era of ICTs and Globalization” lists as authors Ogan and students Manaf Bashir, Lindita Camaj, Yunjuan Luo, Brian Gaddie, Rosemary Pennington, Sonia Rana and Mohammed Salih.
The paper reports on research that “investigates scholarly articles in peer-reviewed online and offline journals that address the topic of communication and development from 1998-2007 to determine publication trends in the field,” according to the abstract. “The study finds that published studies have moved away from mass communication and toward ICTs role in development, infrequently address development in the context of globalization, and often continue to embrace a modernization paradigm despite its many criticisms.”
