摘要：
This paper considers the possibility that early sociological interest in the integrative role of mass communication may have been undermined (1) by the short-run study of media "campaigns," and the declaration that such persuasive efforts have only "limited effect"; (2) by the wrangling over theories of "mass society"; and (3) by a quasi-journalistic emphasis on "media events." In spite of the theoretical basis for reconciling these traditions, the rift over the academic locus of communications research has not been repaired. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009.
