Description

An Annotated Journalism Bibliography was first published in 1970.This bibliography provides information about important books in journalism which have appeared since the publication of Warren C. Price's The Literature of Journalism: An Annotated Bibliography by the University of Minnesota Press in 1959. Several thousand titles are included in the present volume, almost as many as in the earlier volume (which covered a much longer period), a fact that points to the great growth of the mass media in 1958-1968, the development of the broadcast media, the new emphasis placed on communication research, and the increasingly significant relation of the mass media to the government.The selection of titles reflects emphasis on American journalism, but many titles concerned with the press of Great Britain and other foreign countries also are included. Numerous biographies are listed, and among other general categories of listings are narratives of journalists at work and anthologies of journalistic writing, ethical and legal appraisals of the mass media, techniques of journalism, journalism education and vocational guidance, magazines, periodicals of the press, public opinion and propaganda, radio and television, foreign press and international communication facilities, and bibliographies and directories. Annotations are provided for almost all titles. Although the listing in the 1959 volume was by categories, this supplement is alphabetical, with an extensive categorical listing provided in the index.
