ABSTRACT
South Korea (hereafter Korea) has a fairly strong research tradition in the fi eld of mass communication, but most Korean communication studies have not been published in English. Th us, a majority of the trends and fi ndings of Korean communication research are unknown to scholars in other countries. However, this situation is slowly changing mostly because of the rapidly growing number of Korean students that are enrolled in U.S. and European communication programs. In addition, growing numbers of Korean research studies are being published in English-language journals and more papers have been presented at international conferences such as the annual meetings of the International Communication Association (ICA) or the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).
