Communication and Mass Media Complete - Communication & Mass
Media Complete provides research solutions in
areas related to communication and mass media. This database
originated with the merging of two popular
databases in the fields of communication and mass media studies --
CommSearch (formerly produced by the National Communication Association (NCA)),
and Mass Media Articles Index (formerly produced by Pennsylvania State
University). CommSearch offered bibliographic and keyword references to
26 journals in communication studies, with
coverage extending to the inaugural issue of each -- some from as far
back as the early decades of the 20th century. It also included
cover-to-cover indices of NCA’s six journals (from their first editions
to the present), and abstracts from their earliest appearance in NCA
journals. Mass Media Articles Index provided citation coverage of over
40,000 articles related to mass media and published in over 60 research
journals, as well as major journalism reviews, recent encyclopedias, and
handbooks in the area of communications studies. EBSCO has combined the
extensive coverage of these two resources, and has greatly expanded upon
them (both in terms of content and scope) to create CMMC.
Communication & Mass Media Complete offers full text for over 200 titles
and contains citation coverage for additional sources. In total, several
hundred valuable sources are covered.
