The American Communication Association (ACA) was founded and
incorporated in 1993 on the notion that information about
the discipline should be free. It stands to reason that
our new communication technologies have ushered in a new era
of information exchange and sharing, only comparable to the
invention of the printing press and movable typeface.
The ACA is a not-for-profit virtual professional
association with actual presence in the world of communication
scholars and practitioners. ACA is committed to
enabling the effective use of new and evolving technologies
to facilitate communication instruction, research and criticism,
and to offering a technologically supportive venue for all who
study the ways in which humans communicate. While the Association
is based in the United States, it is a virtual organization
that welcomes participation from academics and professionals
throughout the world.
