The AEJMC History Division is soliciting entries for its annual award for the best journalism and mass communication history book. The winning author will receive a plaque and a $500 prize at the August 2019 AEJMC conference in Toronto, Canada. The author will also give a brief talk at the History Division’s business meeting about what they learned from researching and writing the book. The competition is open to any author of a media history book regardless of whether they belong to AEJMC or the History Division. Only first editions with a 2018 copyright date will be accepted. Edited volumes, articles, and monographs will be excluded because they qualify for the History Division’s Covert Award. Entries must be received by Friday, February 15, 2019. Submit four copies of each book along with the author’s mailing address, telephone number, and email address to:
