Biography

William G. Christ

"This book is meant to provide up-to-date, transitional guidance to the leaders and potential leaders of today."
—Communication Research Trends

"What a terrific volume! From historical overviews of communication study in the academy to essays on recent political troubles of communication units to practical tips on being a communication administrator, this is a comprehensive overview of the role of the communication and media administrator. This is a book for current administrators in our field and those who aspire to administration. Also, its sense of our field, its history, strengths and challenges, would make it a useful introduction for those administrators new to communication study."
