Description

Explore the historical roots of mass communications research in the United States with this scholarly work from Routledge. Written from the perspective of an educational historian, Timothy Glander examines how this field became established within American academic life during the Cold War era. By utilizing archival materials that have not been widely studied, this book provides a unique way to document and interpret the dominant expressions of communications research. It offers a deep look into the historical forces that shaped the fundamental purposes of the field. As mass communications researchers became recognized experts in describing media effects by mid-century, this text provides the necessary context to understand their influence. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the sociocultural, political, and historical aspects of education and media. It connects the development of communication studies to the broader landscape of 20th-century American history, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection focused on media history and educational studies.
