FSUFacultyandStudent AttendsICAConference

From May 25 to May 29, School of Communication Associate Professor Dr. Rachel Bailey, Assistant Professor Dr. Arienne Ferchaud, Doctoral Student Sunah Lee, and CCI Interim Dean Dr. Stephen McDowell attended the International Communication Association (ICA) Conference in Toronto, Canada.

Lee participated in the Journalism Studies session where she presented her research on sourcing practices of South Korean broadcasters’ news coverage of North Korean nuclear tests. “My research found that mainstream broadcasters gave voices mostly to elite sources, such as government officials, academics, pundits, and political compensations. I pointed out that such elite sources only highlighted military-oriented solutions and helped demonize North Korea rather than providing comprehensive accounts of the events and alternative, peace-oriented solutions.”
