We are in "the communication age." No matter who you are or how you communicate—from baby boomers to millennials, born digital or getting there—we are all members of a society who connect through the internet, not just to it. From face-to-face to Facebook, this book invites you to join the conversation about today's issues and have your voice heard.

This contemporary and engaging text is built from the ground up to bridge the gap and unite our diverse community. It shows students how to apply foundational concepts while incorporating technology, media, and speech communication to foster civic engagement for a better future. We are communication.
