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
