ABSTRACT

Evidence suggests that journalism education in the early years of the century was not well respected, even by some journalism educators. An article in the November 1927 Journalism Bulletin of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism noted, for example, that before 1910, “it is generally known that conditions in education for journalism were bad, that few journalism schools were equipped to provide a comprehensive education for the profession” (Farrar, 1993, p. 57).
