American Journalism

American Journalism is the quarterly, peer-reviewed journal sponsored by AJHA, the American Journalism Historians Association. American Journalism publishes articles, research notes, book reviews, and correspondence dealing with the history of journalism. Contributions may focus on social, economic, intellectual, political, or legal issues. American Journalism 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. American Journalism follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition. Maximum length for most manuscripts is 25 pages, not including notes and tables. Research manuscripts are blind refereed by three readers, and the review process typically takes about three months. Five manuscript copies should be submitted. Manuscripts will be returned only if the author has included a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Research notes are typically three-to-six-page manuscripts, often written without formal documentation. Such notes, which are not refereed, may include reports of research in progress, discussions of methodology, annotations on archival sources, commentaries on issues in journalism history, or suggestions for future research. Authors may submit research notes with or without first querying the editor
