Overview"Makers of the Media Mind is a collection of analytical essays focusing on the most important and original ideas contributed to the field of mass communication by journalism educators. Divided into six sections representing the most prominent areas of specialization in the field, this text serves two significant purposes: first, it acquaints readers with the lives of preeminent journalism educators; second, it provides concise discussions and evaluations of the most compelling ideas those educators have to offer. The editor of, and contributors to, this text contend that ideas cannot be appreciated fully without an understanding of the creators of those same ideas. They hope that this volume's coverage of ""creators"" as well as concepts will demonstrate that journalism education has played a critical role in the making of the ""media mind."""

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. -Communication Booknotes Author InformationWm.
