Military Organizations
Modern military establishments qualify as complex organizations irrespective of size. This becomes evident when one considers the diversity of skills and specialties currently represented in the armed forces and the variety of tasks they may be called on to perform. As a consequence, military organizations share many of the problems of other organizations of comparable complexity. Discussion of military organizations as a distinct category, howev…

On the Development of Communication Theory Some Reflections
This chapter reflects on various efforts to theorize about mass communication processes and effects, spanning an era that ranges from early paradigms to contemporary technologies. A number of theoretical approaches are presented and assessed for their emphases, limitations, and potential for increasing understanding of fundamental human and social communications phenomena
Reply to the Comments
First, I am pleased to note the broad area of agreement among the four of us. We concur fully that polls are useful, powerful, and play an important role in contemporary politics. My three responders also acknowledge the significance of alternative ways in which citizens can express their opinions and, furthermore, that public opinion is more diverse and nuanced than any dichotomous split between the pros and cons on a particular issue recorded a…
A Review of
The Goebbels Experiment views an era of German history through the eyes of its subject. Extensive quotations from the diaries of the Nazi minister of propaganda and public enlightenment are coupled
Personal Influence and the New Paradigm
An examination of the reception given Personal Influence when first published points to highly selective interpretations of the findings. The claims reviewers made for the influence of interpersonal communication relative to the mass media, especially in the political process, went even beyond those advanced by the authors. They overlooked not only the very restricted conceptualization of “effects” that guided the Decatur research but also previo…

How the Past Lives On
Collective memory and political generations
In 1989, just before German reunification, 498 German journalists were asked to indicate which, from a list of 34 major historical events, such as the end of World War II, the 1949 German currency reform, the building of the Berlin wall, the student movement, and the Chernobyl disaster, they vividly remembered, which still oriented their political thinking, and their political reaction to these events. While some events stand out for all ages, yo…
Etched in Memory
Between 1880 and 1930, the art of painter-etching rose to a degree of popularity unmatched before or since. When the tide went out, most of the etchers once acclaimed were forgotten along with their prints - but some were more forgotten than others. in seeks to understand the process whereby some producers of culture but not others come to be considered worth remembering. Through a combination of masterful sleuthing and analytical rigor, Gladys E…
The Changing Professional Ethos
A mail survey of 129 contact persons for polling organization revealed that 62 per cent of the firms from which responses were received do not go back before 1980. Many respondents were themselves newcomers, who had found their way into polling via politics and showed less commitment to the professional ethos that meant so much to the pioneer pollsters. Newcomers, on the average, had fewer academic credentials and less training than either of two…

Recognition and Renown
This inquiry into one aspect of collective memory-the differential survival of reputation-distinguishes between two components of reputation: recognition by peers and more universal renown. Before their style of working went out of fashion in the 1930s, all the artists studied had been recognized as painter-etchers, but few had achieved a level of renown that guaranteed the preservation of their original oeuvres, a condition that, in the instance…

The Impact of Polls on Public Opinion
There are three ways in which polls can influence the public opinion they purport merely to measure. Just being interviewed tends to arouse interest and to encourage some respondents to inform themselves and to clarify their views on the subject. It may even increase electoral participation. Second, there is little evidence that knowledge of where the majority stands has anything like the much feared bandwagon effect. Although many people are awa…
Immediate and Delayed Responses to a Carter-Ford Debate
The televised Carter-Ford debate elicited consistently more favorable responses among young voters viewing in a lecture hall under controlled conditions and responding immediately afterward than among a comparable group who viewed it in settings of their own choice and whose reactions were obtained only after a lapse of four to seven days. Where the immediately-after reactions divided very much along partisan lines, the gains Ford registered amon…
