In this article, I would like to briefly examine achievements in the study of communication and personal well-being and illustrate the remarkable potential of work in this area to make major contributions to the field and to society as a whole. The study of personal wellbeing encompasses physical health, mental health, social adjustment, relationship satisfaction and career success to name but a few variables. All of these could be conceptualized as markers of quality of life. Throughout the world, communication scholars study how human beings exchange messages and the effects of those messages at different levels of social specificity. For example, many mass communication scholars consider messages that are consumed by large numbers of people and the effects of those messages on whole societies or large echelons of a society. Organizational communication scholars often study interactions, policies and behavior of people in organized social settings that are smaller than whole societies, but much larger than dyadic relationships. In contrast, interpersonal communication scholars such as myself most commonly research interactions and exchanges that occur in smaller social settings such as two-person relationships or families. In recent history, scholars in diverse areas of communication have made notable contributions to the understanding of human well-being. For example, mass media scholars have demonstrated the deleterious links between depictions of violence on television and in film and their propensity to stimulate similar behavior among those who view such depictions (e.g. Anderson et al., 2003). Development communication scholars have sought to advance the cause of universal human rights through campaigns and programs delivered through multiple channels of communication (e.g. White, 2004). Those interested in social influence through the media have shown how televised public service announcements can contribute to the promotion of health behaviors and avoidance of risky behaviors (e.g. Fishbein et al., 2002). In the area of organizational communication, research on the relationship between work and family stress (e.g. GAZETTE: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR COMMUNICATION STUDIES","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"67 1","pages":"547 - 549"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0016549205057549","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65088671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though perhaps less well-known internationally than some of his colleagues, he was a pioneer in communication science and mass psychology and has contributed much to the international exchange of information and research among scholars in our field of studies. After 1945, one of his major efforts was to re-establish contacts that had been lost because of the war. Gazette, the international journal that he founded in 1955, was intended to serve these different purposes. Since then Gazette has continued to act as a liaison centre for research and researchers from different parts of the world. Its scope may have widened considerably, both in choice of subjects and in a geographical sense - reflecting the developments in our discipline and the scientific interests of successive editors - still through the years the journal has remained true to the scientific and humanistic aims of its founder.","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"67 1","pages":"523 - 530"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0016549205057542","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65088540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are contributing to ‘a science of man and society’, a dream of Schramm (1983: 17). A field within communication dealing with the ‘without’ in all its senses, international communication was concerned with the great issues of war and peace. A wartime concern, propaganda studies reaped peacetime benefits. The propagation of modernity became the new battle for the hearts and minds of people the world over. ‘The internationalization of communication was spawned by two kinds of universalism: the Enlightenment and liberalism’, projects that sought to construct republican utopias and a universal mercantile republic respectively (Mattelart, 2000: 1). Founders of the field, Harold Lasswell and Daniel Lerner, were preoccupied with the ‘dark side’ of political propaganda and the ‘light side’ of the propagation of modernity respectively (Chitty, 2004: 42). The field was defined by new technologies and geographies, notably those arising around the Second World War. It was tilled in a climate of scientism, one that nurtured functionalist and behaviouralist shoots. Inevitably, both the developmental and cultural imperialism schools grew to privilege structure over agency. The Lasswellian interest in communication and security was, for half a century, stifled by thick growths of contestation – of the merits of universalization. Remarkably responsive to criticism, Rogers acknowledged the ethnocentrism of the dominant paradigm and the inadequacy of a model that excluded exogenous causes of underdevelopment. He welcomed the après moderne notion that ‘there are many alternative pathways to development’ (Rogers, 1976: 130). Reflecting the historical distance between science and culture as academic projects, Lerner cautioned that ‘“culture specific” findings GAZETTE: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR COMMUNICATION STUDIES","PeriodicalId":84790,"journal":{"name":"Gazette","volume":"67 1","pages":"555 - 559"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0016549205057552","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65088758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have done so through many channels. One of them is the journal Nordicom Review, edited for the international research community and published twice a year in English. It is against the backdrop of my many years as editor of these Nordicom publications that the following reflections on the state of our field should be seen. The number of scholars in the field of media and communication research has increased dramatically during the last decade, and some excellent research communities have been created. But, there are aspects that arouse some critical reflections – most of which concern whether and to what extent the work in our field raises relevant questions on the relations between media and society. An attunement of research to the agendas – and even the interests – of external financiers (‘marketization’), and furthermore, new structures for higher education have thrust scientific enquiry into a period of change. Research tends to be more administrative, and short-term perspectives prevail – at the expense of the long-term accumulation of knowledge. The pressures at play in this overall trend may well have more far-reaching consequences for a relatively ‘new’ field of research like media and communication than in older and more established disciplines. Modern media and communication research grew out of a variety of disciplines: political science, economics, sociology, psychology, history, literature and linguistics. Within these fields, questions relating to mass media had tended to be marginalized. Serious gaps in knowledge had opened concerning how the external manifestations of media and communication related to their inner life, and to the place the institutions occupy in our societies and cultures.

In this article, Gazette’s 50th anniversary is embraced as an opportunity to investigate the still incomplete genealogy of the European institutionalization of research in the field of communication.

About Shifting Involvements and Technologies of Freedom and the Relevance of Albert Hirschman and Ithiel de Sola Pool for Today’s Communication Studies","authors":"W. Hulsink","doi":"10.1177/0016549205057563","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0016549205057563","url":null,"abstract":"For many decades, most western countries have established separate regulatory regimes for the press, broadcasting and telecommunications sectors. Ithiel de Sola Pool (1983, 1990) has conceptualized the differences between the three regimes in the following way. Notwithstanding the fact that these sectors are all now in the process of being merged into one ICT polity, the underlying principles and mechanisms as identified by de Sola Pool (1983) more than 20 years ago are still dominant today. The first governance mode is the private ‘economic control’ regime of the information industry (computing and publishing): a market-based form, aimed at securing economic and political pluralism, free from government intervention, and promoting competition and new entry. Public control in print is minimized by a constitutional freedom of expression and an open market for ideas and (information) services and products. Although in some countries there are or were restrictions on multimedia ownership (curtailing market dominance of particular players active in several media markets), the publishing and information industry is characterized by a competitive market generally free of government regulation The second regulatory regime is the semi-public ‘content-based’ governance mode of the broadcasting sector: an overarching public framework, wherein licences are given to public and private broadcasters on the basis of specific content requirements regarding information and entertainment (the socalled ‘must-carry-rules’). In the broadcasting domain, spectrum shortage and persistent sociocultural norms with regards to social representation, information provision, advertising and so forth, have necessitated governments to intervene through a licence-based system. Governments grant franchises to public or private owners of broadcasting facilities to provide point-to-multipoint services; the system is financed by licence fees and/or advertising.
