NCA Mass Communication Division

Welcome to the National Communication Association's Mass Communication Division Homepage

The National Communication Association (NCA) is a scholarly society of over 8,000 educators, practitioners, and students dedicated to the study, criticism, research, teaching, and application of the artistic, humanistic, and scientific principles of communication.
 
The Mass Communication Division is one of NCA's largest divisions, consisting of more than 1,200 members. Our Division focuses on studying and teaching media, including various questions about why people consume media, the nature of media content in the form of images and codes, and the influence of media on individuals and societies. In addition, we study media systems and environments, focusing on both older and new technologies. The Division boasts members who are media experts in a wide range of contexts, from health, to politics, sports to science, the environment, children, and many other
contexts.

All methodologies are respected and welcome. Our Division provides a forum in which scholars and teachers with diverse interests and approaches can come together to contribute to the study of mass and mediated communication. We also sponsor two division awards, one for outstanding teaching contributions and the other for outstanding service activities.

Membership in the Mass Communication Division is open to all those who are members in good standing of the National Communication Association and who are interested in promoting the purpose of the Division. Each year we program dozens of interesting competitive paper and discussion panels focused on Mass Communication issues for NCA’s annual convention.We are dedicated to helping our collective membership become better equipped to investigate and engage with and among mass communication issues. The next annual meeting of NCA will be held November 17-20, 2011 in New Orleans. If you are interested in the study of communication, we strongly encourage you to become a member and take part in NCA in general and the Mass Communication Division in particular.

Please feel free to contact the Chair or other Officers of the Division should you have any questions or suggestions. We want to make sure that the division serves its members to the best of its ability.
