From Library Journal
This reference is for the serious journalism historian. It includes 2,657 annotated citations from books (including most but not all of the better-known favorites), journals (from 201 academic periodicals), and some Ph.D. disserations. The data is divided into 13 time periods from 1690 to 1989, and there is a special chapter for broadcasting. This is a useful tool for media research collections and the first such comphrehensive compilation to include journal articles. The standard reference, Warren C. Price and Calder Picket's An Annotated Journalism Bibliography ( LJ 11/15/70) sticks to books and includes nonhistory material. A much-needed update, with one drawback: no author index.

Product Review
Sloan, editor of the history periodical American Journalism and coauthor with J.D. Startt of Historical Methods in Mass Communication (1989), has produced a thoroughly researched and concisely written annotated bibliography of 2,657 articles, books, and dissertations on the history of journalism in America. The introduction sets the scholarly tone of the book, while discussing briefly the various schools of journalism history. According to Sloan, `the primary purpose of this book is to assist historians in their bibliographical searches.' And it does. Most chapters are arranged chronologically (`The Colonial Press, 1690-1765'; `The Antebellum and Civil War Press, 1820-1865'; `Broadcasting, 1920-Present,' etc.); and entries are listed alphabetically by author within chapters. Annotations are brief and generally descriptive. The index, unfortunately, does not include authors or titles, but does contain detailed subject listings. . . . This is destined to be a seminal reference source in history, journalism, and mass communications.Choice
This annotated bibliography includes sixteen separate sections which cover a variety of themes and periods providing information on over 2600 items published between 1810 and 1988. Sloan lists articles, books, reference works, and research guides which discuss all types of print and broadcast journalism. Entries within each section are arranged alphabetically by author.Studies in the American Renaissance
A compilation of over 2,600 books, dissertations, and scholarly articles, this bibliography is a guide to what the compiler considers the most important works on the history of journalism in America from 1690 to the present. Included are biographical works; histories of newspapers; histories of journalism in specific cities, states, and regions; and analyses of journalism and national events. Arranged chronologically into fourteen phases of journalism history (e.g., Colonial Press, 1690-1765, Age of New Journalism, 1883-1900, Frontier and Regional Journalism, 1800-1900, and Contemporary Media 1945-Present), this work is intended to assist historians in their research by providing not only a bibliographic guide to a body of literature but also brief descriptions of most of the individual works. . . . This bibliography is valuable for its concentration on journalism history in the United States, its chronological categories, and its currency on the topic. Recommended for academic libraries.RQ
