Notes:
2 pages., Responses by author to four questions about: definition of agricultural journalism, main reasons IFAJ began, subjects that IFAJ covers and the future of agricultural journalism. These questions came to the Agricultural Communications Documentation Center.
Author describes these trends that involve communications programs in colleges of agriculture, extension and research programs: mission creep (to more PR), abandoning our roots (in pursuit of high rankings), communication decentralization, professional slippage (off the faculty ladder), administrative disconnect (with communications leaders), insufficient funding for strategic marketing of colleges, lack of increased communication with nonfarm audiences.
