| Description: | From September 1985 through August 1988 the Disaster Research Center (DRC) at the University of Delaware undertook a study of local mass media response to community disasters. A total of 15 new field studies
were undertaken for this research, fourteen in the United States and
one in Canada (and for certain purposes comparable data from two
earlier studies were also used). The research had a number of specific
topical goals, namely the following. First, we conducted a survey of all local media outlets in those
communities in which DRC carried out field work for this study. The
purpose of the survey was to document the involvement of the local
radio, television and newspaper organizations in local community
disasters. We were interested in establishing the degree and kind of
participation in the response that the local mass communication system
would show in disasters in their own areas. |
