“…Later reviews have cataloged the growth of the field as a coherent discipline (Benson, 1985;Delia, 1987;Rogers, 1994) and considered changes during more recent years (Bryant & Pribanic-Smith, 2010). Other notable works have broached topics like our shared identity (Wiemann, Hawkins, & Pingree, 1988), disciplinary fragmentation (Eadie, 2011;Swanson, 1993), the future (Rogers & Chaffee, 1983), and numerous other concerns (e.g., Bryant & Miron, 2004;Chakravartty, Kuo, Grubbs, & McIlwain, 2018;Levine, 2013;Miller, 1983;Splichal & Mance, 2018). Researchers have also employed empirical methods to investigate the wellbeing of our discipline, examining issues ranging from journal citation networks (Feeley, 2008;Rice, Borgman, & Reeves, 1988) to the connections among communication theories (Chung, Barnett, Kim, & Lackaff, 2013).…”
