Biographical Dictionary of American Journalism
Nauratil, Marcia J. / McKerns, Joseph P.
This is an excellent collection of two- to three-page biographical sketches of 500 noteworthy journalists from 1690 to the present. . . . This book, cross-indexed several ways, may become the takeoff point for thousands of term papers and should be in reference collections, as well as in all serious media collections." Library Journal
