New to this Edition
A new Chapter 2, "Creating A Communication Climate," offers useful
insights and advice on skill- building early in the text. This allows
students more time and opportunities to learn and practice important
skills such as how to respond to connecting bids from others and how to
communicate supportively, not defensively. The communication competence
model has been broadened to include the notion of "communication
climate."
A new section on organizational communication now appears in
Chapter 13.
"Technology and Communication Competence," previously chapter 18,
has been substantially revised and now appears as Chapter 9. Moving away
from a Mass Communication focus, the chapter focuses on the influence of
rapidly changing communication technologies on human relationships and
transactions.
New end-of-chapter pedagogy includes key terms and a "Film School"
feature, which lists films (on video) that illustrate key concepts in
each chapter..
Coverage of ethical communication has been expanded significantly.
The NCA ethical guidelines have been integrated into Chapter 1 and
applied throughout the text.
