| Abstract | Courses in journalism at the University of North Carolina were taught in the Department of English beginning in 1909. In 1924, the Department of Journalism was established. In 1950, it became the School of Journalism. The school was renamed School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1990 to reflect the expanded scope of its curriculum. The school offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. The School of Journalism and Mass Communications records include correspondence, minutes, and other materials relating to the administration of the school, relations of the school to other departments in the university, and the planning of conferences and other programs. Also included are 41 audio recordings of oral history interviews with the school's former students, many of whom worked as journalists; faculty; and administrators. The interviews were conducted by Thomas A. Bowers in 2007-2008 in preparation for his 2009 book Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina. Interviewees include some of the first female and African American students to enroll in the university, including Karen Parker, the first African American female undergraduate admitted to the university; other African American students; William Friday; Roland Giduz; Roy Wilder Jr.; Ed Yoder; and others. |
