Table of contents
I'm not sure why I did not write a review of it before now. Talk about an unknown story! You will find no reference to this fact in any of the many books written over the past 25 years by journalism professors about the history of mass communication research, history of journalism schools, history of journalism education, etc. It's not they were trying to hide it.

They simply did know about it and it never occurred to them to find out. After Glander's book, one would think that it cannot be ignored, except that it is still unknown by most and ignored by almost all the rest. Fifteen years later, it is crystal clear that it was not even widely read and likely never will be. One person found this helpful.
Noam Chomsky references it in one of his recent books too. This is written from the perspective of an educational historian, and continues C. Wright Mills theme around a mass society. Well worth the time, to gain the historical foundation of the origin, perspectives, and actors of US propaganda.
Interesting that resisting Fascism was a big part of the rationale, given our current circumstances. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers.

Summary In this critical examination of the beginnings of mass communications research in the United States, written from the perspective of an educational historian, Timothy Glander uses archival materials that have not been widely studied to document, contextualize, and interpret the dominant expressions of this field during the time in which it became rooted in American academic life, and tries to give articulation to the larger historical forces that gave the field its fundamental purposes.
By mid-century, mass communications researchers had become recognized as experts in describing the effects of the mass media on learning and other social behavior. However, the conditions that promoted and sustained their authority as experts have not been adequately explored.
This study analyzes the ideological and historical forces giving rise to, and shaping, their research. Until this study, the history of communications research has been written almost entirely from within the field of communications studies and, as a result, has tended to refrain from asking troubling foundational questions about the origins of the field or to entertain how its emergence shaped educational discourse during the post-World War II period.
By examining the intersection between the individual biographies of key leaders in the communications field Wilbur Schramm, Paul Lazarsfeld, Bernard Berelson, Hadley Cantril, Stuart Dodd, and others and the larger historical context in which they lived and worked, this book aims to tell part of the story of how the field of communications became divorced from the field of education.
The book also examines the work of significant voices on the rise of mass communications study including C. Wright Mills, William W. Biddle, Paul Goodman, and others who theorized about the emergence of a mass society. It concludes with a discussion of the contemporary relevance of the theory of a mass society to educational thought and practice. Table of Contents Contents: The Propaganda Debate Between the Wars.
