Communication scientists as objectivists?

I'd like to see a source for this claim. When I took my intro communications courses as an undergraduate, the professor teaching the course claimed the exact opposite, that communication scientists were subjectivists and relied on research methods like ethnography as their primary tools. I know next to nothing about the field, myself, but if my old professor was properly informed about her field, then it might be more accurate to say that communication scientists employ a variety of research methods depending upon their theoretical commitments. Some are inclined towards objective approaches where as others employ a more subjective approach? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.232.248.101 (talk) 22:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
