[Air-l] media comparisons

[Ronald E. Rice]

I am reluctant to be seen as self-aggrandizing (note that I am not 
necessarily reluctant to BE self-aggrandizing), but here are two of my own 
articles that provide both review and empirical comparisons of media 
(traditional and computer-mediated), with lots of references in both:
Rice, R. E.  (1987). Computer-mediated communication and organizational 
innovation.  Journal of Communication, 37(4), 65-94.
Rice, R. E. (1993).  Media appropriateness: Using social presence theory to 
compare traditional and new organizational media.  Human Communication 
Research, 19(4), 451-484.
