Andrea Miller

Andrea Miller is an associate professor and associate dean for undergraduate studies in the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. She teaches courses in crisis communication, broadcast and multi-media journalism.

Prior to joining the Manship School’s faculty in 2003, Miller received her Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism. Additionally, Miller was an award-winning television news producer for a decade. While serving a station in Dallas, Miller developed an interest in breaking news and crisis coverage that has now translated into an academic research stream. Miller has published articles on television news and crisis coverage in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Media Psychology, Visual Communication Quarterly and the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management.

Miller’s first book, Oil and Water, addresses all aspects of the media experiences of the dual disasters to hit the Gulf Coast - Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil disaster. Co-authored by Shearon Roberts and Victoria LaPoe, the book was published by the University Press of Mississippi in 2014. Miller is also co-editor, with Dr. Amy Reynolds, of a forthcoming book that explores the future of the newspaper industry using the New Orleans Times-Picayune as a microcosm of the industry. News Revolution or Evolution will be released by Peter Lang Publishing in August 2014.

Miller lives in Geismar, Louisiana with her husband and two children.
