for recruiters. A communication thesis should be no problem for someone who spends all their time reading about, thinking about, and learning about how to communicate through various forms of media. Unfortunately, nothing comes that easy when the traditional pen and paper are the media of choice.

First things first. You have to have something of import to communicate. The downside of being a communications major is that the nature of the industry implies that every aspect of the subject has been, well, communicated about in some form. Your best bet will be to take a topic, old or new, and put a new spin on it. Even though the internet has been around for almost two decades, it is a constantly evolving communication medium that is expanding exponentially everyday. For the first time, international communication is instantaneous for the most lay observers of the world. No matter what aspect of communication your thesis takes on, this certainly will come into play.

Some great communication thesis topics include:

• Marketing Language Use in Communications
• Copyright Law in Media
• The Internet as a Marketing Medium
• The Internet as a Political Vehicle
• The Media and Consumer Spending
• Small Presses and Communication Freedom
• Radio and Communication
• Television and Marketing Communication
• News Media Communication
• Communication Theory
• Communication Personalities
• International Media Communication

After you’ve chosen your topic and your twist that incorporates a new angle, go out and find a live person to interview and pester with questions to inform your writing. As a communications student, no one knows better than you do the variety of ways available to ferret out the experts. Get email addresses and office addresses and pummel them with questions. Ask for an email interview if they are exceptionally busy and / or far away from where you are. Despite their status as expert in their field, chances are people aren’t knocking down their door asking for their advice and opinions. They’ll likely appreciate the chance to talk about their field.

These interviews and question and answer sessions will do more than just help you create a completely original communication thesis. You will simultaneously be creating a contact in the industry. As someone who will soon be a graduate with a communications degree in a saturated employment market, enough cannot be said for nurturing relationships in the field. It would serve you well to make your impressions smart, savvy, and interesting. Persistent but not annoying. Helpful but not threatening.

Follow up the inroads that you are creating into your future by offering to show the interviewees a copy of your thesis when it’s finished. Better yet, get your communication thesis published. This will not only get your name out there, create a clip for your portfolio, and create a favorable impression with other professionals who read it, but it will be free advertising for your interviewees as experts in the communications field. Good for them. Good for your career. Communications thesis = final degree product and first step toward a successful career in the industry.
