ABSTRACT
Most communication research is done within a specific time and place due to resource and manpower constraints. Scholars work in their own specialized area, and not many have tried to expand their scope of study by themselves or through collaboration with others. The growth of the research community around the world makes it more possible for a concerted effort in doing comparative research. Easier and better means of communication also encourages scholars situated in different locations to work hand in hand in studying the same topic.
