Description

This critical historical examination explores the foundational development of mass communications research in the United States during the American Cold War era. Written by Timothy Glander from an educational historian's perspective, the book draws on archival materials to document, contextualise, and interpret the dominant expressions of this emerging field as it became rooted in American academic life. Glander articulates the larger historical forces that shaped the field's fundamental purposes and demonstrates how mass communications researchers gained recognition as experts in describing media effects. The work provides essential context for understanding how Cold War politics, educational policy, and communications science intersected to form contemporary research practices and theoretical frameworks.

Key Features

Uses archival materials and primary sources not widely studied to provide original historical documentation of mass communications research origins.

Examines the relationship between Cold War political forces and the development of communications research as an academic discipline.

Explores how mass communications researchers established themselves as recognised experts in media effects analysis during the mid-twentieth century.

Offers an educational historian's perspective on the larger historical and institutional contexts that defined the field's fundamental research purposes.

Addresses contemporary implications of Cold War-era research assumptions and methodologies in modern communications scholarship.
