    I deeply regret to inform ICA members that Dr. Maxwell E. McCombs of the University of Texas at Austin passed away on September 8, 2024 at the age of 85.  He was best known for creating the agenda-setting theory of mass media effects with Donald L. Shaw and was a wonderful mentor and friend for more than 50 years to me and many others.

    We all have benefited greatly from Dr McComb's academic contribution and drank from his well of knowledge.

    May his soul Rest In Peace.
