Kim Zarkin is an associate professor in the Communication and Masters of Professional Communication programs at Westminster College in Salt Lake City. She also chairs the Gender Studies program. She teaches traditional Electronic Media courses like Intro to the Mass Media and Communication Law and Ethics as well as classes in Visual Communication, Advertising, and Public Relations. Despite coming from a purely broadcasting background, Kim also advises The Forum, Westminster’s student newspaper.

Kim has published two books. Anti-Indecency Groups and the Federal Communications Commission: A Study in the Politics of Broadcast Regulation was published by The Edwin Mellen Press in 2003. Her second book was co-authored with her husband, Westminster Political Science Professor Michael Zarkin. The Federal Communications Commission Front Line in the Culture and Regulation Wars was published by Greenwood Press in April of 2006. It is the first book on the Commission to detail the regulatory history of both broadcasting and telephony.
