Review Quotes:
"...I am intrigued with this book...by its clear, bald assertion that journalism education has its own ideas, its own intellectual history, its own heroes. The book, in other words, is a professionalization tool, a device for staking an occupational claim to intellectual distinctiveness."
--Journalism Educator
"Some of the research for this project involved personal interviews with selectees and their former students. This effort, as well as some of the critical assessment, earns the book a close examination."
--American Journalism
"...a welcome addition to a literature that will help the field understand itself, while providing ammunition against its detractors in industry and education....a well-documented book with primary material from living subjects as well as a fine synthesis of the written record and a good deal more....an ambitious and valuable piece of work..."
--Journalism Quarterly
"This is a fascinating endeavor....Interesting reading -- a real service."
