Publications

Todd Henneman’s scholarly and professional writing examines how communication shapes organizational culture, professional identity, ethical decision-making, and public understanding across media, educational, and institutional contexts. His work spans journalism education, business communication, digital storytelling, AI-mediated communication, social media, leadership communication, and experiential learning.

Earlier work focused on social norms communication, violence-prevention initiatives, and bystander-intervention education in higher education settings, particularly how strategic communication practices can influence institutional culture and behavior. More recent scholarship explores how emerging technologies, evolving media systems, and digital platforms are reshaping journalism, professional communication, and public discourse.
