Kindly look into information governance and communication theory
alert(“Great Work”);
This is a very useful collection of theories and concepts related to communication. I’m looking for a list or something that links communication theories, theorists, and scholars to the 7 traditions of communication. There are tons of Google hits on the traditions themselves, but I couldn’t find anything about theories, models or scholars associated with a particular tradition. Could you possibly help me with this?
Thank you , i would like to read and learn more
theory in communication-related to cyberbullying. can someone explain?
Must put Kincaid’s model here
This collection of communication theory is very helpful for communication academics and researchers, as well as students in research and writing scientific papers. Thank You
thanks
does someone knows a theory that is connected with branding? reply ASAP
I am interested in learning more of the communication theories and models. Thank you
May I ask for information regarding (Russell N. Laczniak and Les Carlson, 2012, “A Theory of Advertising to Children”, Taylor & Francis, First published 2012 by Rutledge., p. p 135-148 )? If so, I would be more delighted if you have any development, or applications on this theory if you don’t mind
Finally I really appreciate your work on this website.
This is a great list but I would like to see something that talks about the communications of religion and how it affects our daily lives and even how we communicate with others outside of said religion.
