Progress in Communication Sciences, Volume VI

<jats:p> State of the art anthologies, often in the form of annual reviews, are found in most established disciplines. This volume is part of a biennial series that tries to carry this venerable tradition to the relatively new field of communication studies. Despite our reservations about the editor's assumption that communication is a science - straddling the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, it has the same epistemological flexibility that characterizes anthropology and geography - we are nonetheless pleased at the disciplinary and ideological openness of most of the contributions. </jats:p>
