This is a thematic meta-analysis of research trends in major mass communication journals during the 1980 to 1999 period. We analyzed study method, medium and area of focus, theoretical approach, funding source, and time period covered in research articles published in ten major mass communication journals during this twenty-year period. Predictions made about mass communication research in the 1990s were tested. We found that qualitative research methods continued to be much less common than quantitative methods throughout the period. Funding for research was relatively rare, with the university becoming the main source and private support decreasing significantly in the 1990s. The implications of such trends are discussed.

Communication is central in human life. All activities in human life require communication. The scientific study of the symptoms or reality of communication covers a very broad field, covering all forms of human relations and using symbols. more concretely this includes fields such as Interpersonal Communication, Group Communication, Organizational/Intellectual Communication, Mass Communication and Cultural Communication as seen in various forms of symbolic expression. Noting the seven traditions of communication research as such, communication research seems to be facing an important issue for its development in the present and future, which is pleased with how to try to take steps to get out of the confines of tradition and / or bring together existing traditions. This effort might be in the form of combining one tradition with another existing tradition (trying to synthesize existing traditions) while pioneering an entirely new tradition, for example with a more extensive implementation of historical methods to discover how communication patterns exists in a society in the past and attempts to understand what is now by looking at the past.

Este artículo centra su interés en el desentramado de las estrategias hegemónicas implementadas desde el norte global para la construcción de teorías y políticas relacionadas con la difusión de ideas, tecnologías, modelos, patrones y pautas de una cultura dadora, en materia de comunicación para el desarrollo. Bajo el sustento teórico de la Mass Communication Research, la fuerte presencia en nuestra región de los postulados de la Teoría de la Difusión de Innovaciones marcó desde la década del sesenta el camino a seguir por parte de las elites locales, respecto a las formas a partir de las cuales alcanzar el desarrollo. Este camino estaba ligado inexorablemente al impulso del crecimiento económico, a la exaltación de los sentires nacionalistas y al cambio de las actitudes tradicionales y arcaicas a favor de la instrumentalización del progreso y la técnica.Proponemos aquí llevar adelante una mirada desde una comunicología del sur, que entienda al sur, en los términos de Santos (2009) en tanto locus de enunciación privilegiado, desde el plano geográfico como desde el geopolítico, a partir del cual pensar la realidad histórica de los pueblos oprimidos por parte de la impronta colonial iniciada con la modernidad capitalista europea, así como a las derivas y nuevas modalidades que asume dicha impronta en nuestro presente.
