The field has been characterized by enormous expansion and diversification with abundance and popularity not resulting in integration. This contribution ­considers the roots of the discipline to be very long leading back to the enlightenment, early democracy and diverse international sources such as the first freedom of ­information bill in Sweden's Diet in 1766 and the nineteenth century as Hardt (2001) details. Academically the field is something of a sunrise industry comparable even to computer science and biotechnology as Web of Science data (Nordenstreng, 2015) indicates with exponential growth notable from the 1990s. Dramatic increases in publications, students and the blossoming of associations has followed. Dominated by US/English language research, diversification has been felt in approach and focus (Koivisto and Thomas, 2010). Looking back to an earlier phase concerned with modernization is however instructive for example Lerner (1958) or the comments and debate surrounding Berelson (1959). Currently, extremely dispersed ­communication studies is characterized by presentism with gaps such as the absence of national histories of communication research very apparent. Reporting Denis McQuail’s thoughts on the conference’s headings this ­contribution suggests that traditions of inquiry from social science and literary/cultural studies have not been ‘resolved or got together’ (Nordenstreng, 2015).

媒体与传播作为研究领域

该领域的特点是巨大的扩展和多样化,丰富而广泛的人气并未导致整合。这种贡献认为该学科的根源很长,可以追溯到启蒙运动,早期民主和各种国际资源,例如1766年瑞典《国会》中的第一个信息自由法案和Hardt(2001)详述的19世纪。从学术上讲,该领域是一个朝阳产业,甚至可以与计算机科学和生物技术相媲美,如Web of Science数据(Nordenstreng,2015年)表明,自1990年代以来就呈指数级增长。随之而来的是出版物,学生的大量增加以及协会的兴起。在美国/英语语言研究的主导下,人们在方法和重点上都感到多样化(Koivisto和Thomas,2010年)。然而,回顾一下与现代化有关的早期阶段是有启发性的,例如Lerner(1958)或围绕Berelson(1959)的评论和辩论。当前,传播学研究极为分散,其特点是存在主义存在空白,例如缺乏关于传播学研究的国家历史的明显体现。在报告丹尼斯·麦奎尔(Denis McQuail)关于会议标题的思想时,这一贡献表明,社会科学和文学/文化研究的探究传统尚未“解决或融合”(Nordenstreng,2015年)。极为分散的传播研究的特点是存在主义存在空白,例如缺乏关于传播研究的国家历史的明显表现。在报告丹尼斯·麦奎尔(Denis McQuail)关于会议标题的思想时,这一贡献表明,社会科学和文学/文化研究的探究传统尚未“解决或融合”(Nordenstreng,2015年)。极为分散的传播研究的特点是存在主义存在空白,例如缺乏关于传播研究的国家历史的明显表现。在报告丹尼斯·麦奎尔(Denis McQuail)关于会议标题的思想时,这一贡献表明,社会科学和文学/文化研究的探究传统尚未“解决或融合”(Nordenstreng,2015年)。
