College Media Advisers are always on the lookout for books to recommend about the field of journalism. We’ve compiled a list from past discussions on the listserv here at the CMA board blog, with the help of Tom Winski at Lindsey Wilson College. This list is expected to grow, and if you have suggestions, please pass them on. Here’s a taste of some of those books. The full list can be found linked from the Resources page.
