The Society for New Communication Research is a global nonprofit 501c3 think tank focused on intensive research and education on both the theoretical as well as the practical implications surrounding new communications methodologies, tools and technologies. The Society’s fellows comprise more than 40 futurists, scholars, business leaders, professional communicators, members of the media and technologists from around the globe. To continually build our knowledge and research base, we are always seeking to expand our membership and build an international virtual community of individuals and organizations who are involved and interested in new communications technology. 

Joining the Society allows you the opportunity to receive our monthly newsletter with commentary from SNCR experts and updates on research initiatives, invitations to special events, the bi-annual Journal of New Communications Research, invitations to and discounts on all SNCR educational events. It also allows you to participate in the Society and our work by sharing your thoughts and commentary on our work and on the work you would like our researchers to investigate. Your financial support enables the SNCR to continue its ongoing research, publication and education initiatives. Ultimately, your support helps us all to better understand the impact of new communications tools, technologies and emerging modes of communication, and their effect on traditional media, professional communications, business and society.
