Kaj delavec običajno dela

Delo komunikologa je raznoliko, običajno gre za raziskovanje komunikacijskih procesov oziroma za razvoj in organizacijo le-teh. Pri študiju osvojene teorije in metode raziskovanja mu omogočajo preučevanje vseh vrst medijev, predvsem množičnih (npr. časopisov) in elektronskih (internet) od lokalne do mednarodne ravni. Njegovo delo je usmerjeno na komunikatorje, tiste, ki nekaj sporočajo, vsebino sporočil in njihove prejemnike ter učinke, ki jih ta sporočila imajo. Zaradi izjemno hitrega razvoja informacijske in komunikacijske dejavnosti delo komunikologa zahteva stalno in sistematično izobraževanje.
