  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 84-89, June 2023.
  The inaugural Deutschmann Essays perpetuate in print the insights from senior media scholars on authoring significant scholarship to accomplish sustained excellence. The AEJMC instituted in 1969 the Deutschmann Award. Since our field was initially dominated by White men, so was the Deutschmann Award. Over 54 years of the award, 27 of 34 awardees were White men, one person of color, and six women. However, of the 10 most recent recipients, five have been women and one a person of color. AEJMC leaders are sincerely committed to recognizing the accomplishments of more diverse nominees, including women and people of color.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 90-108, June 2023.
  In the 1960s, I conducted two studies of large landowners and peasant farmers in Colombia. After 61 years in the profession, I see the theme of those studies and most of my subsequent research to be public relations as a means of social inclusion: allowing individuals and groups to take part in society. This essay describes social inclusion and public relations theories of publics, symmetrical communication, strategic management, and relationships. The essay concludes by discussing digital media as both a tool of inclusion and de facto social exclusion.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 109-116, June 2023.
  This essay argues for the importance of replication in journalism, media, and communication research, and illustrates how the author’s research and that of others has benefited from replication. It begins by citing several research methods books on the value of replication and then turns to the different kinds of research done by the author in the past half century and how these studies have benefited from replication. It ends by citing other prominent programs of communication and media research that have also used replication to increase knowledge of subjects such as the cultivation effects of television, the effects of movies and television on children, media uses and gratifications research, studies of television and social behavior, and research on journalism and communication education.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 117-133, June 2023.
  Research into journalism and mass communication (JMC) theory use and creation suggests that scholars fall short of standards required for the scientific method to perform properly. Sociologist Gerald Hage said this reflects inconsistency among scholars in the use of language and a lack of tools used to create social science theory. To address these conditions, this essay draws on three books to provide a glossary of terms about social science theory and to develop a format for presenting such theory. The aim is to improve consistency and precision in the creation of JMC social science theory.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 134-145, June 2023.
  The assumption that journalists who have professional values perform in ways that better serve their communities is embedded in the scientific literature on journalism. This notion is also incorporated into journalism education. Professionalism creates a distance between those believed to hold expert knowledge and those who do not. This essay argues that this gap is likely to make it harder for journalists to understand and serve their communities and provides evidence from participant observation that supports that argument.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 146-164, June 2023.
  The essay addresses these questions: What is news' Why do we have news' My answers involve the synthesis of theories from biology and culture; I also show how the constructs time and reality can be used in news studies. Deviance is my primary construct, which in biology is defined as a threat or something novel in the environment. In studies of culture, deviance is defined according to whether the rules and norms of a society are followed. People are innately hard wired to survey the environment and attend to threats, but threats are defined by culture. The brain’s circuitry prioritizes information about negative stimuli, which results in more negative news than positive or neutral.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 165-180, June 2023.
  The arrival of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) writers has captured the popular imagination, but also raised grave concerns. What are the implications of the widespread deployment of such content generation technologies' How should we, as communication scholars, think about and study AI writing tools' We discuss these questions by reflecting on research highlighting the psychological effects of AI as a source of communication. We identify key future research directions, including a redefinition of concepts like creativity, addressing major weaknesses of AI writers, and motivating design of better AI tools with an eye toward reclaiming human agency in the post-ChatGPT era.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 181-192, June 2023.
  I analyze work on the role of emotion in how people respond to advertising and news. Measuring emotion with brain waves to self-report, the role of valence and intensity of emotion engendered by ads demonstrates their important role in how ads persuade. Emotional response to ads is well theorized by the evolution of mechanisms evolved to approach or avoid stimuli to maximize survival. Response to news stories can be similarly theorized to suggest how surveillance is influenced by perceived importance and negative emotions registered during news consumption. I posit that increased understanding of news processing will follow when emotion’s role becomes better understood.

  Abstract: Journalism & Communication Monographs, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 193-214, June 2023.
  Contingency theory explains how theory can explain, relate, and capture interactions between an organization and its multiple publics regarding real-world issues. Over the past three decades, it has emerged as an empirically tested perspective, grounded on how intuitive, nuanced, and textured strategic conflict management is practiced. It represents a paradigmatic shift in thinking from normative thought. This essay first consolidates the theoretical development and explication by mapping out the key tenets of the theory, and then discusses the growth of the theory through extension and application. The last section contemplates new directions as the theory develops.
