' I do recommend this to any library, and not just academic, with an interest in US history or journalism' --Stuart James, Reference Reviews

'The authors should be applauded for trying to address a void in the literature, and they do a good job of including many journalistic "firsts." -- P.J. Beegle, Barry University, Choice
