Redding's article published in peer-reviewed Journal, presents paper

April 6, 2009, 5 a.m. - Redding Communications, Inc. CEO Robert "Rob" Redding's theory on competitive argumentation has been published in a peer-reviewed communication publication.

Redding's "Resolution of Risk" has been published in The Journal of the International Public Debate Association.

"There have only been three ways to argue for hundreds of years," Redding said. "Propositions can be fact, value or policy. Resolution of risk analysis offers another option. I am grateful to IPDA's Journal for publishing my theory and thankful to IPDA for allowing me to present my paper to a packed room of attentive communicators from across the country."

IPDA's publication was distributed over the weekend at the organization's national debate tournament, which was held at Bossier Paris Community College.

During a review of this paper's concept for publication, Bossier Parish Community College Director of Forensics Bob Alexander and the former University of Louisiana director of forensics wrote: "From a negative perspective, the resolution of risk provides an additional avenue of attack."

Redding, who is an artist, award-winning nationally syndicated radio talk show host and journalist, authored "Hired Hatred: Why politicians, political parties and the political prejudices they tout are mutually exclusive from good government" in 2005. His upcoming book, which is a history of black philosophers, has been referenced in "Disciplinary Decadence: Living Thought in Trying Times" by Lewis R. Gordon, who is director of the Institute for the Study of Race and Social Thought at Temple University.

RCI owns the award-winning Redding News Review - a website and radio show, WashingtonContinent.com and NewsBlack.com.
