Jakarta, Infobreakingnews - Welcome to the New Millennium and to Wide World of Communication. Worldwide, the discipline of Communication has experienced rapid growth with the approach to the new millennium. With advancements in communication technologies and the ubiquitous nature of the media, there has been greater interest in the study of Communication.
Scholars have raised more questions and generated
more observations regarding everyday and policy concerns in
Communication – resulting in the flux of theories and researches
produced within the discipline. In addition, today's students, whose
lives have revolved around the electronic media, have decided to embark
in careers in Communication – the opportunities of which being
tremendous. As a result, educational institutions and the number of
degrees in Communication have been expanding. The International
Communication Association (ICA) already has 18 divisions and interest
groups including Public Relations, Journalism and Mass Communication.
In Indonesia , the need for a degree in Communication
is more pronounced than ever. The fall of the New Order in 1998 has
spurred a process of democratization in the country. Economically, the
Asian Crisis illustrated the susceptibility of the local market to
foreign pressures. The need for new foreign investments and for greater
infrastructure development presents the case for globalization. The
December 2004 tsunami and other recent natural mishaps illustrate the
importance of crisis communication. Truly, the country needs more
effective and efficient communication people to cope with the new
socio-political landscape.
