American Journalism

American Journalism is the quarterly journal sponsored by AJHA. American Journalism publishes articles, research notes, book reviews, and correspondence dealing with the history of journalism. Recent editions of American Journalism are available via the EBSCO data base.


Contributions may focus on social, economic, intellectual, political, or legal issues. AJ also welcomes articles that treat the history of communication in general; the history of broadcasting, advertising, and public relations; the history of media outside the United States; and theoretical issues in the literature or methods of media history. Full-text articles published in American Journalism in the past few years are available on EBSCO. Check with your local library or university library to access the EBSCO database.

American Journalism follows the Chicago Manual of Style, current edition. Maximum length for most manuscripts is 25 pages, not including notes, tables or illustrations. Research manuscripts are blind refereed by a minimum of three readers, and the review process typically takes about three months. Manuscripts should be submitted as Word attachments to the editor at bfriedman@unc.edu. Essays, which are not refereed, may include discussions of methodology, pedagogy, annotations on archival sources, commentaries on issues in journalism history, or suggestions for future research. Authors may submit essays with or without first querying the editor. American Journalism will consider only original manuscripts that are not under review, scheduled for publication, or published elsewhere.
