A new set of value criteria are tested and applied in real-world communication settings to provide a fuller vocabulary to describe the multifaceted strategic decisions professional communicators make in preparing messages for the consumption of others. This book is an invaluable resource for broadcast professionals, academics, and aspiring communicators alike. The value scheme presented herein can serve as a cornerstone of any professional communication career.
