In an era marked by the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our lives, the discourse surrounding its implications has intensified. The Role of Generative AI in the Communication Classroom is a pioneering book that delves into the multifaceted dimensions of AI, specifically focusing on OpenAI's revolutionary Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (Chat GPT) and its profound influence on the landscape of communication education. This book navigates the intersection of technology, education, and ethics, shedding light on the imperative need for a collaborative approach to shape AI's evolution. AI's potential to reshape industries and human roles is undeniable. Rooted in the intricate workings of AI and its hallmark, Chat GPT, this book meticulously dissects the dynamic relationship between humans and machines. The discourse extends beyond technology and into the realm of education, asserting that the power to mold AI's trajectory cannot rest solely in the hands of developers. While revealing AI's transformative potential in the communication classroom, the book conscientiously explores ethical concerns and biases, fostering a balanced approach to its integration. This book is instrumental to the ongoing discourse on AI's role in education. The call for ethical considerations, inclusivity, and regulation serves as a guiding compass for educators, students, developers, and policymakers alike. The book ensures a holistic perspective on AI's integration by addressing privacy, citation, voice ownership, and overall digital ethics.

The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning provides an essential, global, and timely overview of current realities, as well as anticipating the trajectory and evolution of campaigning in the coming years. Offering a comprehensive analysis, the handbook is structured into seven thematic sections, including the campaign environment; rhetoric and persuasion; campaign strategies; campaign tactics and platform affordances; news and journalism; citizens and voters; and civil society. The chapters within each section reflect on the latest societal, technological, and cultural developments and their impact on campaigning, on democratic culture within societies, and on the roles that campaigns might play in both facilitating and impeding political engagement. Key trends and innovations are examined alongside case studies and examples from a range of nations and political contexts. Issues around trust and representation are further reflected in a focus on the wider campaigning environment and the rise in importance of grassroots and pressure groups, social movements, and movements that coalesce within digital environments. The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning is an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in political communication, media and communication, elections and voting behavior, digital media, journalism, social movements, strategic communication, social media, and more broadly to democracy, sociology, and public policy.

The world is wrought with risks that may harm people and cost lives. The news is riddled with reports of natural disasters (wildfires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes), industrial disasters (chemical spills, water and air pollution), and health pandemics (e.g., SARS, H1NI, COVID19). Effective risk communication is critical to mitigating harms. The body of research in this handbook reveals the challenges of communicating such messages, affirms the need for dialogue, embraces the role of instruction in proactively communicating risk, acknowledges the function of competing risk messages, investigates the growing influence of new media, and constantly reconsiders the ethical imperative for communicating recommendations for enhanced safety.
