S2305-COMM-2030 Communication Inquiry
Find a peer-reviewed journal article from within the field of communication (i.e., a communication journal). Read the article, but especially focus on aspects of the article that discuss its application. Once read, answer the following:
1. Who is the author(s) of the article? What is the title of the article? In what journal is it published?
2. In what ways do the researchers make the case for how this research can be applied to real-world situations?
3. What groups of people (e.g., based on occupation, experience, or demographics) do you think would find the research most valuable?
4. Is this research qualitative, quantitative, or critical? How do you know?
5. How would approaching the topic from a different research perspective alter the article?
6. How much attention does the article pay to practical applications versus theoretical development? How do you feel about this balance?
