James F. Evans Collection, Mimeographed, 1994. 32 p. Paper presented at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Convention in Atlanta, GA, August 10-13, 1994., A news report on the plight of some family farmers, presented in magazine format, was manipulated to create versions differing in the degree of precision of general information (precise, imprecise) and in the use of exemplifying case histories and testimonials (selective, mixed, representative). Precise information consisted of quantitative data from pertinent research. Imprecise information consisted of qualitative assertions. Selective exemplification featured only cases consistent with the focus of the report. Representative exemplification featured a distribution of consistent and inconsistent cases in proportion with their distribution in the population. Mixed exemplification featured a balanced distribution of consistent and inconsistent cases. In two experiments, respondents reported their own views of the issue at different times after reading (no delay, two week/one week delay). In both investigations, the accuracy of estimates of failing farms was found to be highest for representative and lowest for selective exemplification, with mixed exemplification achieving an intermediate degree of accuracy. This effect of exemplar distributions was stable over time (i.e., over the two/one week period). Also in both investigations, the effect of the precision of general information proved negligible. Regarding the report itself, the three versions of exemplification were not considered differently informative. However, selective exemplification was deemed more distressing to read than representative exemplification. (original)

James F. Evans Collection, Bangkok, Thailand : United Nations Development Programme, Development Support Communication Service, 1972. 125 p., This report is designed to formulate a communication plan for the project: Training for Health Personnel in the National Family Planning Programme of Thailand, on the basis of a systematic appraisal of the communication needs of this project. In order to achieve this objective, appraisal missions to various training sites were undertaken by DSCS staff and Thai Government Officials from the National Family Planning Programme. The past training and its communication needs were investigated. In addition, the proposed family planning training and its anticipated communication needs were investigated in relation to the past training to record what discrepancies were revealed and what past experiences might apply in the future. The factors to be examined under the term training include: objectives, curriculum, trainers, trainees, presentation methodology, environment, equipment, materials, feedback, administration, and outside influences.
