INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION EVALUATION RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

From 1976 to 1978 I was a Media Research Analyst for the Media Research Division of the Office of Research of the U.S. Information Agency. As a Media Research Analyst I identified the basic issues underlying research problems; developed plans for major research projects; constructed project designs; contracted projects; prepared contract specifications; supervised contractors; performed data analysis, data preparation and computer analysis; and finally, I wrote reports for the use of both Agency management and Agency practitioners. I was responsible for international research projects that involved large scale personal interview surveys, mail surveys, content analysis, panels, and management information systems.
