Journalism History, a scholarly journal published quarterly, has a respected reputation as the oldest peer-reviewed journal of mass media history in the United States. Continuously published since 1974, the journal provides a venue for excellent, peer-reviewed articles on media history.

Information on how to submit an article to Journalism History can be found here. https://journalism-history.org/submissions/.

Journalism History seeks articles on topics related to the full scope of mass communication history, which may discuss individuals, institutions, or events. The journal features manuscripts that provide fresh approaches and a new, significant understanding about a topic in its broader context, as well as topical essays, especially if they contain clear theses with supporting documentation.

In addition to content about traditional journalism, Journalism History welcomes submissions with historical angles on visual communication, public relations, advertising, scholastic journalism, media diversity, sports media, the business of journalism, media technology, oral history, media law and ethics, and documentaries. We also encourage cross-disciplinary and global collaboration so that the content of the journal increasingly reflects media history outside of U.S. borders and across disciplines.

Dr. Pam Parry at Southeast Missouri State University began her term as Journalism History editor in July 2021.

Until recently, Journalism History had no direct affiliation with an academic organization, but in 2017, members of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s History Division voted to adopt the journal. AEJMC History Division members receive a subscription as part of their dues.

Journalism History is under the umbrella of Taylor and Francis. For information on submissions and subscriptions as well as features related to the journal’s content, see the journal’s website at journalism-history.org.
