This unique volume is based on the philosophy that the teaching of
history should emphasize critical thinking and attempt to involve
the student intellectually, rather than simply provide names,
dates, and places to memorize. The book approaches history not as a
cut-and-dried recitation of a collection of facts but as
multifaceted discipline. In examining the various perspectives
historians have provided, the author brings a vitality to the study
of history that students normally do not gain. The text is
comprised of 24 historiographical essays, each of which discusses
the major interpretations of a significant topic in mass
communication history. Students are challenged to evaluate each
approach critically and to develop their own explanations. As a
textbook designed specifically for use in graduate level
communication history courses, it should serve as a stimulating
pedagogical tool.
