Reliability of Google Scholar (GS), Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS) is examined using publications and citations of 186 scholars in 14 U.S. advertising and public relations (ADPR) programs. Career duration is controlled, and an integrated impact (II) index is proposed as a practical solution. Results suggest there are trade-offs between the uncertainty of GS’s search parameters for more inclusive coverage and the curated collections of Scopus and WoS that might undercount some influential authors or works. To further demonstrate the discipline’s value, we must pay more attention to rigor and accuracy of methods that will lead to improved outcomes.
Google Scholar (GS)、Scopus和Web of Science (WoS)的可靠性是通过对14个美国广告和公共关系(ADPR)项目的186位学者的出版物和引用进行检验的。控制职业持续时间，提出综合影响(II)指标作为实际解决方案。结果表明，在GS的搜索参数的不确定性和Scopus和WoS的精选集合之间存在权衡，这可能会低估一些有影响力的作者或作品。为了进一步证明这门学科的价值，我们必须更加注重方法的严谨性和准确性，从而提高结果。

Although the lack of diversity in newsrooms and reporting remains a serious issue in the journalism industry, college journalism education and student media provide a critical opportunity for change. Yet prior research has found notable diversity gaps in both. This study analyzed the state of diversity at a Midwestern university student newspaper and found significant gaps in coverage of diverse populations. The findings suggest the need for more comprehensive diversity education within the college classroom and campus media advising. This is important not only for more representative student media, but also for the future of journalism.

Similarly, the “Alphabet Soup of US Federal Government Agencies” would be valuable for my Communication Law and Policy students (p. 142). I find that students slowly grasp the importance of business disclosure, as well as proprietary nonpublic information. A major strength of this book is found within the Agencies and Consultancies chapter. “Pitching and Winning New Business” focuses on the often overlooked need to replace lost clients and grow: “As agency professionals progress in their careers, they generally take on more responsibility for not just managing and servicing accounts, but also helping to ‘make it rain’ by growing existing accounts and consistently winning new business” (p. 168). PR was adversely affected by the pandemic, and it is safe to say that employees who generated new revenues were less likely to be fired during downsizing. Whether entrepreneurship happens within a large agency or a startup, it takes money to make payroll and pay for utilities. On campus, we often preach that our students need to be lifelong learners. So, I was pleased to see this book end with a discussion of the need for ongoing professional development. Target SVP and Chief Communications Officer Katie Boylan writes,

students—both undergraduate and graduate—facilitate critical thinking skills. It is relevant information for gender, race and media courses, practitioners, and scholars. I appreciated reading PR Women With Influence and found it a refreshing update to the literature on the topic of women in leadership. While progress has been made, there is still much work to be done. The chapters are meaty and informative. I particularly enjoyed the tables, which offer evidence to support the assertions made by Meng and Neill. The updated statistics provided in the book offer a good overview of the current trends in the workforce in general and a close look at how women in leadership feel about the public relations profession, in particular. I view this as one of the year’s most important books for women in leadership.

A survey of alumni from a 10-year-old cohort-based online master’s program in digital communication showed that respondents felt high levels of sense of community both during the program and after graduation. Respondents reported using Facebook and email to interact with members of their cohorts, and other cohorts, and highly valued the ability to network with industry professionals with a diversity of communication experience. However, respondents felt the need for more identity-based diversity among cohort members.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected education worldwide, and journalism faculties and students were not exceptions. In the Russian Federation, all educational institutions, including journalism schools, were obliged with 1 day’s notice to switch their classes from regular face-to-face teaching to remote and online formats. The abruptness of this transfer caused a variety of reactions in academic and student communities. This article presents a country-oriented study of how the pandemic affected Russian journalism education. Executives of 15 Russian journalism schools in a geographical spread across the nation evaluate how their faculties and students coped with the classroom shutdowns and discuss both the stressful and motivating practices they have experienced. In brief, they could be described in three typologies: digital, methodological, and communicational. The study uses educational perspectives that could be exercised in the development or renovation of journalism education practices.

Recent national media surveys point to relatively high levels of public trust in local political reporting. The problem, however, is that challenges with reporter training and experience mean that local television is not as equipped as it might be to provide quality political coverage. We assess how professional journalists and college students majoring in political science or journalism view their reporting competences. We find mixed results, including lower confidence across all groups in performing data and statistical analysis. These results drive our recommended collaboration strategies for local television newsrooms and university departments to improve training and experiential opportunities.
