  • An Annotated Bibliography of Press Criticism in Editor & Publisher, 1901
    Media History Monographs 9:2 (2006-2007) The Problems of Journalism: An Annotated Bibliography of Press Criticism In Editor & Publisher, 1901-1923 Ronald R. Rodgers, University of Florida A search for the national conversation about journalism in the trade press during the early 20th century faces one formidable barrier – there appear to be no indexes comparable to those that exist for periodicals. However, a review of the trade journals of that time reveals a wealth of discussion, analysis, and judgment about what were called “the problems of journalism.” The following is an annotated bibliography of those discussions of ethical issues and the problems of journalism in the newspaper press that appeared in the newspaper trade journal Editor & Publisher from the journal’s first year in 1901 through June 1923 after the ASNE adopted the first nationwide code of ethics for the industry. This bibliography is a rich resource that elucidates a time of upheaval in journalism not unlike our own today when, as Editor & Publisher once noted, the newspaper was “undergoing a searching investigation and analysis.” ©2007 Ronald R. Rodgers Media History Monographs 9:2 Rodgers: The Problems of Journalism The Problems of Journalism: An Annotated Bibliography Of Press Criticism in Editor & Publisher, 1901-1923 I have no hesitancy in saying that the trade press has done more to standardize the practice of journalism, and to bring editors and publishers together, than anything else. – Editor & Publisher Managing Editor Frank Leroy Blanchard, 1916 In her useful bibliographic resource, “Criticism mysteries – better known as secrets of the trade” – of the Press in U.S.

  • The Web As History
    The Web Web The ‘No other work as cohesively, clearly, forcefully and successfully argues for the Web’s centrality in contemporary society and social science. While scholars of new media tend to turn their attention to the newest and latest new media phenomena, the Web is and will continue to be crucial to understanding online phenomena generally and, just as critically, providing a record of online discourse and events.’ – Steve Jones, UIC Distinguished Professor of Communication, as University of Illinois at Chicago History The World Wide Web has now been in use for more than 20 years. From early browsers to today’s principal source of information, entertainment and The much else, the Web is an integral part of our daily lives, to the extent that some people believe ‘if it’s not online, it doesn’t exist’. While this statement is not entirely true, it is becoming increasingly accurate, and reflects the Web’s role as an indispensable treasure trove. It is curious, therefore, that historians and social scientists have thus far made little use of the Web to Web investigate historical patterns of culture and society, despite making good use of letters, novels, newspapers, radio and television programmes, and other pre-digital artefacts. This volume argues that now is the time to ask as what we have learnt from the Web so far. The 12 chapters explore this topic from a number of interdisciplinary angles – through histories of national Niels Brügger by Edited web spaces and case studies of different government and media domains – as well as an Introduction that provides an overview of this exciting new History area of research.
