Remembering Ev Rogers Pt 1.mov

Everett Rogers (1931-2004) was a pioneer in the field of innovation dissemination and communication. Best known for developing the "diffusion of innovations" paradigm--which is broadly used throughout the social sciences--Rogers was the author of thirty books and hundreds of scholarly articles. His work examined technology transfer and the rise of technologies, health communication, media agenda setting, intercultural communication, and entertainment-education.

This documentary--which includes interview footage taped just days before his death in October 2004--celebrates Rogers' life as an internationally-acclaimed professor, author, researcher, and health educator. Producer: Dr. Glenda Balas; Videographer/Editor: Jason Balas

I am touched by this tribute to a man I never met but whose work so benefited me and so many others. He seemed, by his images here, so warm and caring. I was at Grinnell in the 60's just a couple of hours away....too bad I did not know of him then. Jim Lew, Chicago
