| Abstract: | New evidence on the beginnings of mass communication study in the USA is offered, suggesting that the earliest communcation programs were short-lived interdisciplinary committees at the University of Chicago that were at the forefront of an emerging field but died from lack of institutional support. The article draws on archival research and suggests that communication study, as separate from professional journalism training and the study of rhetoric, goes further back than previously assumed. |
