Description

"In The Manship School, Ronald Garay, a longtime faculty member and former associate dean of the School, traces not only the story of the Manship School but its role in the evolution of media education in general." "Hugh Mercer Blain, a professor in the English department at LSU in the early 1900s, created the first LSU journalism courses and curriculum with the support of then-LSU president Thomas Boyd, establishing LSU as one of the first universities to offer journalism education. Garay chronicles the organization of full-fledged journalism units in liberal arts colleges; the addition of new fields such as broadcasting, advertising, public relations, and political communication; the creation of doctoral programs; and the emergence of serious research on the impact of media on society." "Throughout, Garay introduces the students, faculty, directors, and alumni who played important roles in the school's history."--Jacket.
