Join Annenberg students and faculty for a presentation by Lewis A. Friedland of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Friedland, professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and affiliated professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, founded and directs the Center for Communication and Democracy.
 
From Professor Friedland: “The concept of media or communication ecology has had a major revival in recent years, but most often it is still used as a general metaphor, conveying the idea that all media is connected. But there are formal communication ecological theories — most prominently Monge’s organizational and Ball-Rokeach’s community frameworks — linked to specific and (relatively) bounded social systems. Further, sociological work on communication networks, from Wellman to Castells, is implicitly ecological. This talk presents a framework for understanding the range of communication ecological theories as they relate to the bounded domain of communities of place and space, arguing that understanding the structure and flow of communication in the macro-dimension of the metropolis requires a more precise theory of networks as environments that are both bounded and embedded.”
