Graduate Education In Mass Communication: Meaningful Goals, James Fletcher Apr 1988

Graduate Education In Mass Communication: Meaningful Goals, James Fletcher

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Academic Values Are Losing Out To The Narrow Values Of Industry Representatives In The Accreditation Process, Robert O. Blanchard

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the dominance of professional values in the accreditation of journalism and mass communication programs, arguing that academic perspectives have been marginalized in the process. It highlights how accreditation policies, shaped largely by industry representatives, have defined all journalism and mass communication courses as non-liberal arts, a stance that threatens the intellectual and academic identity of the field.

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the challenges of defining liberal education and the place of journalism and mass communication within it.
