News Brief: Annenberg Ph.D. program named No. 1

The Ph.D. program in the Annenberg School for Communication was named the top program in the country in the Third Annual Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index, a measurement conducted by Academic Analytics, earlier this month.

Academic Analytics, a company that sells research on faculty productivity, rated the Ph.D. program best in three out of five key measurements based on faculty Web sites: Books per Faculty, Percentage of Faculty with a Journal Publication and Percentage of Faculty with a Journal Publication cited by another work.

"We are very pleased with the rankings," Annenberg dean Michael Delli Carpini, said in a press release. "This simply provides independent proof . that Annenberg is the leading research institution for communications in the country, if not the world."
