History Division website now includes syllabi, sample assignments

A new teaching resource has been added to the History Division website.

History Division members have contributed items to create a collection of syllabi and sample assignments for courses related to journalism history. The collection includes syllabi for courses focusing broadly on journalism history as well as courses on specific areas like electronic media or legal history. There are syllabi for both undergraduate and graduate classes, and some members have contributed sample assignments as well.

The collection of syllabi and assignments is linked from the Resources page.

Members can contribute additional items by emailing website administrator Keith Greenwood at greenwoodk@missouri.edu.

 

Call for book award entries

The History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication is soliciting entries for its award for the best journalism and mass communication history book of 2013.  The award is given annually, and the winning author will receive a plaque and a cash prize at the August 2014 AEJMC conference in Montréal.  The competition is open to any author of a relevant history book regardless of whether he or she belongs to AEJMC or the History Division. Authorship is defined as the person or persons who wrote the book, not just edited it. Only those books with a 2013 copyright date will be accepted. Compilations, anthologies, articles, and monographs will be excluded because they qualify for the Covert Award, another AEJMC History Division competition. Continue reading →
