The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) has been a pioneer in the concept of an inter-American professional, independent, and self-sufficient pressure group that acts on its own initiative and subsists on its own resources. This study first traces the development of IAPA from the initial meeting in 1926 through the mid-1940’s, when a small group of dedicated Latin American and United States journalists began the fight to wrest the IAPA from the control of government lackeys and Communist agents. Previously scarce accounts of the early annual meetings, often noisy and disorganized and sometimes violent, give the reader an insight into the problems and animosities faced by the democratically oriented members. Mary A. Gardner then describes a reorganization in 1950, after which IAPA actively fought for the freedom of newspaper workers tyrannized by Latin American dictators, such as Argentina’s Perón, Colombia’s Rojas Pinilla, Cuba’s Batista, and the Dominican Republic’s Trujillo. Even while IAPA was fighting for freedom of the press it began several services for its member newspapers: It set up a circulation auditing service, created a scholarship fund, undertook a newsprint study, and established a technical center. It also began the administration of the Mergenthaler Awards—prizes awarded yearly to outstanding Latin American journalists. Gardner also analyzes the merits of IAPA, basing her conclusions on data obtained from her own observations, from letters written by others long associated with operations of the organization, and from interviews with Latin American and North American journalists. She concludes that IAPA apparently surmounted the barriers of nationalism, of cultural and political differences, and of personal prejudices, thus succeeding in its attempt to unite its members in the fight for freedom of the press and for the propagation of democracy in the hemisphere.

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, mainstream magazines established ideal images of white female culture, while comparable African American periodicals were cast among the shadows. Noliwe M. Rooks's Ladies' Pages sheds light on the most influential African American women's magazines--Ringwood's Afro-American Journal of Fashion, Half-Century Magazine for the Colored Homemaker, Tan Confessions, Essence, and O, the Oprah Magazine--and their little-known success in shaping the lives of black women. Ladies' Pages demonstrates how these rare and thought-provoking publications contributed to the development of African American culture and the ways in which they in turn reflect important historical changes in black communities. What African American women wore, bought, consumed, read, cooked, and did at home with their families were all fair game, and each of the magazines offered copious amounts of advice about what such choices could and did mean. At the same time, these periodicals helped African American women to find work and to develop a strong communications network. Rooks reveals in detail how these publications contributed to the concepts of black sexual identity, rape, migration, urbanization, fashion, domesticity, consumerism, and education. Her book is essential reading for everyone interested in the history and culture of African Americans.

"In this much needed and timely volume, Dr. Jerry Crawford II focuses on HBCUs with journalism or communication programs that sought professional accreditation from AEJMC. Covering a nearly 40-year timespan, the book is well researched and well documented. The book is a must-read for administrators and faculty of HBCUs. It also is enlightening to scholars of predominantly white institutions and minority-serving institutions." -Hong Cheng, Ph.D., professor and dean, School of Communication, Loyola University Chicago "In the ever-changing world of higher education, there's no greater challenge for colleges and universities than to offer a credible, respected, dollar-worthy degree and accreditation provides that valuable stamp of approval. Journalism at Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Governance and Accreditation offers a valuable, thoughtful perspective on the myriad challenges faced by minority-serving institutions today to earn and maintain that accreditation." -Barbara Hines, Professor Emerita, Howard University Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are facing challenges to their continued existence on several fronts. One is fiscally, as federal funding for education has been cut and the responsibility for paying for higher education has been levied on students and parents. This book explores journalism accreditation at HBCUs and is informed by many years of research into how journalism units have acquired and lost accreditation. It will be of interest to faculty, students and administrators of journalism studies. Jerry Crawford II is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Multicultural Program in the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas. He teaches graduate and undergraduate classes consisting of mass media theory, ethics, multimedia reporting, and special topics. Dr. Crawford has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapter, and conference proceedings (combined) and has presented his work at over a dozen conferences - receiving paper awards. He has served in several capacities in AEJMC, including being a member of the board of directors.
