As part of what is becoming an annual ritual, I have put together a spreadsheet of papers that relate to communication, information technologies, and media more generally, that will be presented at the ASA meeting (Boston, Aug 1-4). Both lists exclude papers presented at the CITASA pre-conference. This year\’s list contains over 165 papers, a significant increase over the 106 papers that I identified last year. Perhaps optimistically, I would like to think that the 50%+ increase in papers represents the revival of communication studies within sociology.
