 A flawed list of major journalism books of the 20th century
Jean Folkerts of George Washington University, the editor of Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, along with the journal's book review editor, Paula M. Poindexter of the University of Texas at Austin, are primarily responsible for the list.
They contend they avoided any arbitrary "top ten or twenty" listing, and instead sought to ask questions such as what books left a lasting impression, what books should be required reading for incoming classes of journalism students and what books are essential to journalism libraries in the twenty-first century.
By generating such a static and uncritical list, the editors have almost surrendered to their colleague's contention that books may not be "significant" to journalism and mass communcation researchers.
