Broadcast Journalism Education: Some Implications, James E. Sayer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the state of broadcast journalism education in higher education, focusing on whether programs are adequately preparing students for professional careers.

Mccarthyism Here We Come Again, Paul Antonie Distler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes the origins, goals, and strategies of Accuracy in Academia (AIA), a conservative organization that emerged in the mid-1980s as an outgrowth of Accuracy in Media. AIA claims to promote accuracy in higher education but has pursued tactics such as encouraging students to report on faculty, publishing alleged errors, and recruiting volunteers to monitor classes. The discussion highlights how these efforts, framed as correcting bias, often targeted liberal faculty and created controversy by pressuring universities through media exposure and alumni concerns. A case study involving Virginia Tech illustrates how AIA campaigns, though unsuccessful in altering teaching practices, generated …
