Hello! I'm doing a research on students' verbal styles in small-group
communication. Anyone of you has an idea for this? Please share with
me. By the way, if possible, could you give me an advice on how/ where
to find related studies on this topic?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you!

Well, actually it's the topic of my BA thesis. I intend to make a comparison between Vietnamese culture and American culture. The target population is college students (then I should mention this in the title). Is it appropriate?

To collect data, I'll employ the survey method (questionnaires and interviews). Some people have advised me to use naturalistic observation method but I think it's quite hard for me to observe a "real" group discussion of American college students. Also, the observation method, in my view, is more beneficial to studies on nonverbal communication than those on verbal communication because we need to "observe" the participants' bahaviours, attitude, etc. What do you think?

Observation is always the best way to obtain data in my opinion, due to the fairly untainted nature of it - though personal bias will always play a part in research and analysis.  If you have a group of friends from both backgrounds, I suggest observing them during group gatherings.  Observing interactions when you are placed in a group project setting is useful as well should you be given that opportunity.  I hope that helps a bit!

Each person in a group has a role.  Depending on the role a person plays in a group could  be taken into consideration far as communication style.

Hello,

I'm considering to do a CCTV-9 viewers research. CCTV-9 is the English
Channel of China Central Television, its formal name is CCTV International.
This channel is one of the few 24-hour English TV channels in the world.

Since CCTV International's launch in 2000, little has been done concerning
who is watching and what's the broadcast effect. As I work at the channel, I
understand that to carry out a survey for a global audience will cost a huge
amount of money, which the channel can't afford. In addition, one scholar in
Shanghai did do a survey in 2003 by posting questionaries on CCTV-9's
website, and according to him, the result is quite good for the channel
which shows a promising prospect.

However I doubt this survey's reliability and credibility, and want to do
something myself. I'm planning to interview foreign viewers in Beijing, and
may also post questionaries on websites, - not on CCTV's page but on other
popular websites around the globe.

Currently I'm troubled by a few questions - the first is I may not be able
to find enough qualified people here in Beijing for interview, which will
confine me to individual ideas only; the second is if I also post questions
on the internet, source credibility will again be a huge problem.

I'm doing this research alone without fund or the channel's support.
Actually this is for my study at Peiking University. Could you offer me some
advice as how to find the qualified people, how to ensure a reliable
response to questionaries, and suggestions on choosing the effective
measures or scales for the research.

Thank you very much. You can also directly reach me by my personal email:
wang. x. qing@...

Regards.

Wang Xiqing

It seems as if we have a mutual interest.  I taught journalism in Guan Zhou for
three years at a joint venture school in association with China South Normal
University. Before that I was an editor for Arirang TV in Korea and a freelancer
for NPR in San Antonio TX. I have just started my PhD at Georgia State
University with the idea of looking at how AP and CNN are influencing cultures
in Asia, specifically China.  We may be able to work together on this.  My
interest thus far has been with the Pearl Network, but I’m flexible.

I also advise you to take seek help from GSU’s CIME (Center for International
Media Education). This is a center run by Georgia State University’s
Communication Department. Your contact there would be Leonard Teel. Tell him I
sent you. I know there are several Chinese students who might be interested.

Your project is something I might be interested in.  Let’s exchange a few emails
and see if I can’t help.  My office email is: black_je@... (I’m also a
full time professor down in Macon, Ga. I have no social life).

>Ni hao Qing,
May I suggest you speak with 3 friends of mine in Beijing:
1) Dean Gong of the College of Comm at Peking U.
2) Prof. Chen Mo at the Communication University of China, Beijing
3) Prof. Xiong Chengyu at Qingua University, Beijing.

Prof. Xiong is probably the best out of the 3 that I know of that
would have the references you seek. He's the founder of the "Cultural
Industry" in CHina.

Thank you very much Peter,

I'll try to contact those three people.

Does Dean Gong mean Gong Wenyang from Peiking University? And I'm not sure
about the second person, as his or her name may have too many similar ones
in Chinese.

If you happen to have their email address, could you send them to me? Here's
my personal email address - wang.x.qing@...

Thank you very much!

Best.

Wang Xiqing

Hello ACA BOD,

I am requesting that the ACA BOD reinstate me as a board member.  At
the close of the Conference in Peru, I resigned primarly because I
was exhausted.  Resigning was a mistake, I should have taken a
temporary hiatus.  I have been a past vice president, president, and
executive director, and 2X convention planner for ACA and two special
editions coordinator for two editions of ACJ. In addition I assisted
our fearless Ty Adams in bringing ACA to new academic and global
heights.  I would like to continue the work we are doing in promoting
ACA both nationally and internationally - ACA has a tremendous future
ahead of itself and I would like to be one of the members that
continues to contribute to that succecss.
Thank you,
Pete DeCaro

Hi Linh,

Have you tried Deborah Tannen's books? She has one called Talking From
9 to 5. It examines communication in the workplace. You may find
something there.

Best of luck!
Lori

Collaborative Grants in Media and Communications

Call for Proposals Due November 4, 2006

Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere Program

http://www.ssrc.org/programs/media

WHAT:
The SSRC is pleased to launch its next round of its small grants project for academic-advocacy collaboration in the media and communications field. This round will provide grants of up to $7,500 for research that supports efforts to change the media / telecommunications infrastructure, practices, policies or content. The grants are intended for short-term work, completable and usable by advocacy partners within the next 4-12 months. Proposals for this round must be submitted by December 4, 2006 by 5PM EST in order to be eligible for funding. Grant recipients will be announced on December 20, 2006. (Note that proposals submitted during the rolling submission period from September will be also be considered. There is no need to re-submit, unless you wish to.)

WHO:
Proposals must be:
(1) Submitted by a US-based nonprofit advocacy, organizing or community group working on media and/or telecommunications issues. Groups with nonprofit fiscal sponsorship are also eligible. (A limited number of international non-profit organizations will be solicited by invitation only.)

(2) Structured as a partnership with an academic researcher based at a university, college or other research institution. This can include advanced graduate students.

There are no citizenship requirements for participants in these projects.
CRITERIA:
Please review the attached list of criteria carefully before preparing your proposal.
All projects must:
· Be strategically useful in their proposed advocacy and/or organizing context.
· Produce scholarship that meets academic standards.
· Have a realistic workflow and timeframe.
The selection committee will also favor proposals that:
· Have a clear plan for the application of the findings of the research in policy-making processes or advocacy campaigns to change the media / telecommunications infrastructure, practices, policies or content. Scholarship that facilitates field-building (i.e. curriculum development, tool-building, analysis of best practice) will also be considered.

· Be useful for organizations, communities, and advocacy efforts beyond the applicant organization.
· Address issues of disparate impact on communities on the basis of race, class, gender, ethnicity, age or other identity/status category.

· Build capacity—skills, tools, experience, access to data sets—within the "user" organization and/or community.
· Use methods or models of research that have proved effective in similar contexts.
· Reflect diversity in the staff or group involved with the project.
· The committee will seek to fund a diverse mix of projects, including consideration of regional diversity, issue-area, scope (local, state-wide, national, etc), type of organization (national lobbying, grassroots community, transnational, etc.) and goals and methods (e.g., capacity-building, policy interventions, project or movement analysis, surveys and/or data collection, etc.)

Bonus points for proposals that:
· Involve collaboration between two or more advocacy/community groups in the project design and the plan of use for the research.

· Use participatory methods to engage community and/or advocacy group members in framing the questions, data collection, and/or analysis.

· Are related to issues of telephony, publishing, privacy, intellectual property, independent media, or spectrum.
See the list of past grant recipients and sample topics below.
PROPOSAL STRUCTURE:
Please submit proposals via email to mediahub@... by December 4, 2006. Please send a project outline of no more than 5 pages including:

• A short description (max. 100 words) of how the research will be used to advance public-interest change in the media/communications arena.
• A description of the research project (max. 1000 words), covering both process and outcomes, and addressing the criteria above.
• A description of the proposing organization (max. 200 words), including mission, constituency, geographical scope of work, and annual budget.
• The name, institutional affiliation(s) and research experience of the academic partner.
• A project timeline.

Plus:

• The researcher’s CV.
• A budget of up to $7500, with itemized major expenditures. If the project draws on other resources or financing, please indicate them.

BACKGROUND:
The Collaborative Grants project is part of the Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere (NKDPS) Program of the Social Science Research Council, working in partnership with CIMA: Center for International Media Action and the McGannon Center for Communications Research at Fordham University. The program is funded by the Media, Arts and Culture program of the Ford Foundation.

The NKDPS program is launching a series of funding opportunities to help increase the production, use and capacity for research to serve public-interest advocacy and organizing around media and communications. These mini-grants for collaborative advocacy- academic partnerships have been initiated to meet the short-term research needs of advocacy and policy actors.

To view past submissions that were approved in the first round, go to: http://www.ssrc.org/programs/media/collaborative_grants/smallgrants.page . Note that any new applications do not have to work within the exact same range of topics as we encourage a diversity of issues as long as they are related to the media and communications field.

Several other funding projects will be launched in the next months, including a "Research Bounties" project that place prizes on advocacy-defined research and a larger program to support longer-term advocacy-academic research partnerships and training.

For more information on the program, see http://www.ssrc.org/programs/media. For all program-related inquiries, please write to mediahub@...

Subscribe to MediaResearchHub-News for program updates, research funding opportunities, and conference information at http://listserve.ssrc.org/mailman/listinfo/mediaresearchhub-news

SAMPLE PROJECT TOPICS:
Proposals might seek to:

• Measure the success or failure of mainstream media in advancing different public interest goals or values.
• Measure the impact of existing “alternative”/ community media systems on communities, public discourse, or democratic processes.
• Develop better, actionable accounts of the role of ‘new media’ in people’s lives.
• Analyze policymaking and/or regulatory systems.
• Analyze emerging systems, frameworks, or models of media and communications that transcend the current regulatory framework.
• Analyze economic models, industry structure, markets, or audiences for different kinds of media.
• Create analytical tools or research resources for use by advocates, communities, or the public.
• Document or evaluate advocacy or organizing strategies around communications and media issues.

The deadline is December 4 (NOT November 4, as stated in the previous posting).

Press Release and Preface:


[The Machine], i.e. [=], is the crown of Dr. Michel Luc Bellemare’s
black series. This philos-scientific book probes and outlines the
basis of thought and eXistenZ, bringing philosophy to its ultimate
conclusion via the unification of  Wittgenstein’s philosophy under 1
mantra entitled [=], and in the process refining Hegelianism,
Aristotlism and Wittgensteinism to a more fundamental nexus, the
purest possible.

----------------------------[Preface]-------------------------------

The originality of [=], i.e. [The Machine], is not that it has given
something original to eXistenZ and philosophical thought; but that it
has given logic a better fit and understanding in eXistenZ and
philosophical thought via a process of exegesis, symmetry and
ontological refinement that has gone furthest in clarifying,
illustrating and extracting the fundamental form and structure of
logical representation, without ever extending any prior limit or
adding anything new to the total logical composition. [=]
is the basic form and structure that permits all language to be, and
to function and operate from one to another, general and specific.
Thus, the purpose and efficacy of [The Machine], i.e. [=], is as a
pure pedagogical means that instructs and refines with hard intrinsic
precision [=], simple and pure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In sum, this crystalline black book (89 pages/black cover/ white
pages) of the new generation(s) will provide a hygienic read for
philosophers, scientists, and/or anyone wishing to gaze at the abyss
and see beyond the veil of Maya, in order to view the
scaffolding of the logos of logos, which is to say mythos but in fact
is to say logos in total symmetrical operation.

“What is most abstract is most concrete; what is most concrete is
most abstract”.  MLB


Dr. Michel Luc Bellemare Ph.D. [Philosopher] is author of two
philosophical works:

1. [=]    i.e. [The Machine]   2005   ISBN#: 0-9781151-0-4
2. Nomologism  i.e. eXistenZia 2003   ISBN#: 0-9781151-1-2

ACA Community,

 

I would like the groups feedback on a recent posting to my project management blog entitled "A Communication Failure?". 

 

To give some background, I have been a member of the ACA for a couple of years and have learned a lot by following the postings in this group.  I don't have a degree in communications, nor am I an expert in the communications field.  As an IT Project Manager, I am responsible for project communications up, down and across the organization regarding the status of my projects.  Over the last couple of years I have posted topics regarding project communications on my blog, however I have never solicited feedback from this or any other group of experts. 

 

As a member of the Project Management Institute and a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) it is important that I communicate properly and accurately throughout the project lifecycle.  Also, I want to post ensure that I post accurate, relevant information about project communications on my blog, and in turn to the project management community at large.

 

If you have the time to review other to review my blog I would appreciate the feedback (positive or negative).

 

You can view my blog by clicking here.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

 

Stephen F. Seay, PMP
