Abstract

In a meditation on the future of journalism history, this essay focuses on some positive trends, including the growth of media history academic groups and the field’s broader expansion in terms of topics and connections, as well as some challenges with an eye toward hope. It also examines exemplars—in the form of journals, organizations, and scholars—who are showing a promising way forward during an uncertain time in journalism. This contemplation concludes with specific recommendations each media historian can take to do their part in shoring up the future of media history.
