Is Communication and Media Studies an Independent Discipline?

International Trends, Countertrends and the Participation Theory of Communication

Summary/Abstract: The disciplinary position of communication and media studies is still uncertain. In scholarly literature, it is usual to see this field of research as a diverse entity without a unified identity. According to many, there is no need to develop such an identity. This study examines whether the participatory theory of communication can discuss communication research traditions that are very different from each other in a unified framework. To test this, the paper analyzes and interprets the conceptual frameworks of health communication, digital journalism, network science, and big data within the system of the participation theory.
