    COAST GUARD PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM HISTORY: THE SEARCH FOR SYMMETRY _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication _______________ by Matthew M. Kroll Spring 2017 iii Copyright © 2017 by Matthew M. Kroll All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and their families. Specifically, those who continue to educate the public on the service’s value to our nation by documenting and sharing the heroic efforts of its members. Without these men and women, the accomplishments of the United States Coast Guard would be lost. The origins of this thesis come from the desire to tell the story of these storytellers. Thank you for sharing the United States Coast Guard with the world and for inspiring current and future service members v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Coast Guard Public Affairs Program History: The Search for Symmetry by Matthew M. Kroll Master of Arts in Communication San Diego State University, 2017 The origins and history of the United States Coast Guard public affairs program remain generally unknown in both the military and civilian public relations communities. This gap in the historical record contributes to the misunderstanding of what the Coast Guard public affairs program is and what it should provide for the service. Moreover, the combination of military and law enforcement missions complicates how the service implements its public affairs program. This research used qualitative methods to analyze past public affairs policy and organization to discover and construct the history of the Coast Guard public affairs program.
