About the Book

Communication in A Changing World distinguishes itself from other introductory textbooks by its emphasis on ethics and civility in communication; its original, comprehensive and integrated treatment of computer-mediated communication; and, its authentic, engaging examples drawn frequently from popular culture. Communication in A Changing World regards communication as integral to the development of students as responsible citizens in a diverse world. The new edition now features a "quick guide" for preparing a first speech that is audience-centered and includes themes of responsible communication.
