Augie Grant is a former broadcaster who is on permanent
leave from the broadcasting industry to teach and conduct
research on the telecommunication industries. After completing
his doctorate at the Annenberg School for Communications
at the University of Southern California, he spent nine years
with the Department of Radio-Television-Film at the University
of Texas at Austin. Although his primary interest is mass
communication technology, his research and teaching reflects
the convergence of communication forms through the application
of new technologies. After spending Fall 1996 as a Visiting
Professor at USC, Grant jumped at the opportunity to join
the faculty of the university beginning Fall 1997.
He has written numerous articles and conference papers dealing
with high-definition television, television audience behavior,
television shopping services, theories of new media, and
emerging communication technologies. He is the editor of
the Communication Technology Update (now in its fifth edition),
an annual review of the latest developments in over three
dozen technologies in electronic mass media, telephony, consumer
electronics, computers, and satellites. He is also a consultant
to various media organizations regarding new communication
technologies and consumer behavior.
