Seeking Equity for Women in Journalism and Mass Communication Education: A 30-year Update (Lea's Communication Series)

This volume concentrates on the study and efforts of women and minority men to gain respect and parity in journalism and mass communication, and focuses on trends over the past three decades. Contributions to the volume provide a history of the equity efforts and offer updates on equity in the academy and in the professions. Theoretical and international perspectives on equity are also included, as are the concerns about equity from the new generations now coming into the profession. This anthology serves as a benchmark of women's current status in journalism and mass communication and provides a call to action for the future. As such, it is required reading for all concerned with establishing equity throughout the discipline.

When the University of Washington's journalism department was searching for a faculty member to teach advertising in 1916, Professor Frank Kane wrote to Walter Williams, the dean of the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, asking him to recommend someone for the position. Starting from their 1972 study of women's status in journalism and mass communication education, editors Ramona R. Rush, Carol E. Oukrop, and Pamela J. Creedon examine women's struggles for equity since the early 1970s and identify what issues still lie ahead
