Editor and Author Biographies
Carie S. King is a Clinical Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Dallas. She teaches students in engineering/computer science, pre-med, and communication. Prior to teaching, Lambert was a medical editor at The University of Texas Medical Branch, Wright State University, and Creighton University.
She also taught at the University of North Texas. Lambert holds a BA in English (journalism) from Baylor University, a MA in Technical Writing from the University of North Texas, and a PhD in Technical Communication and Rhetoric from Texas Tech University. She also completed a postdoctoral study in ethics, medicine, and communication at the Center for Ethics and Spirituality at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Prior to teaching, she served as a medical editor and communication consultant at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Creighton University, Wright State University, and Northwestern University.
Maribeth (Betsy) Schlobohm is a Clinical Associate Professor at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), where she teaches Small Group Communication and Professional and Technical Communication. Prior to teaching at UTD, she taught at LeTourneau University. Schlobohm is coauthor of Business and Technical Communication: A Guide to Writing Professionally, published by Kendall Hunt and now in its second edition.
Schlobohm is also an attorney and mediator. She focuses her private legal practice on small businesses, estate planning and probate, and mediation. She has conducted more than 575 mediations and is a Texas Mediator Credentialing Association (TMCA) credentialed Distinguished Mediator.
Impressive is the word that came to mind when I saw the write up describing authors Carie Lambert and Maribeth Schlobohm. Schlobohm works as a teacher of professional and technical writing at the University of Texas. Lambert holds a PhD in technical communication and rhetoric from Texas Tech and also teaches at the University of Texas.
Together these two developed 10 impressive chapters in Communication and Emerging Media: What’s Trending Now. The topics are a grab bag on the general topic of communication and emerging technologies. What ties the chapters together is each writer’s chapter having a background of work at the University of Texas. Here is a glimpse at the topics with a focus on how emerging media influences communication: mobile as a force in the future, social communication, marketing communication, health communication, education and learning, cyberlaw, and ethics.
Health communication seemed to me an especially interesting topic. The authors of that chapter note if you Google medicine you will find over 80 million Web pages in about 0.32 seconds. If you Google medicine in about 0.28 seconds, you will see over 1 million Web pages. And the topic is not just big on the Web. It is big on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, and the like. Government websites also exist with examples including Center for Disease Control, Health.gov, Medicare.gov, National Institute of Health.
Emerging media becomes an important tool here not just to disseminate information but also for fundraising as with the recent ice bucket challenge raising money for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
What does the future hold? Could it be the ability to print an organ or personalized drugs? Will we continue with trends such as booking online and electronic medical records? Will telemedicine continue to improve and serve rural areas?
There are pros and cons to the use of emerging media regarding medicine. The related chapter covers some and provides great food for thought. This holds true for the other sections of Communication and Emerging Media. If you have an interest in emerging media and education, you should find the book of interest. If you are a teacher, this book might be a great pick for your students.
