ABSTRACT

The importance of intervention in communication research has continued to expand in a variety of research traditions including applied communication, engaged scholarship, and communication activism. The growing importance of intervention requires closely examining our research practices regarding knowledge production and the role of nonacademic research partners. The present study articulates four intervention orientations based on an analysis of articles (n = 154) from 2010 to 2020, drawn from journals published by the U.S.-based Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, International Communication Association, and National Communication Association. Four orientations are articulated using the dimensions of problem focus and intervention pathway: (1) translation, (2) critique, (3) design, and (4) co-creation. Implications regarding temporality and intervention, the significance of interdisciplinary research, and the sustainable social impact of interventions are highlighted.

摘要

干预在传播研究中的重要性在各种研究传统中不断扩大，包括应用传播、参与奖学金和传播行动主义。干预的重要性日益增加，需要仔细检查我们在知识生产和非学术研究合作伙伴的作用方面的研究实践。本研究基于对文章的分析阐明了四种干预方向（n = 154) 从 2010 年到 2020 年，来自美国新闻与大众传播教育协会、国际传播协会和国家传播协会出版的期刊。使用问题焦点和干预途径的维度阐明了四个方向：(1) 翻译，(2) 批评，(3) 设计，和 (4) 共同创造。强调了关于临时性和干预的影响、跨学科研究的重要性以及干预的可持续社会影响。
