I also had the able assistance of Christopher Smith, Ashley Jarvis, Josephine Hermanson, and Emily Wagner, who were all motivated student researchers.
Many thanks also to the staff at the Hagley Museum in Wilmington, Delaware, the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at the Princeton University Library, and the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. I am also particularly grateful for assistance from Rachel Thurneysen-Lukow of the Newspaper Association of America.
My appreciation also to Bob Franklin, editor of Journalism Studies, and Patrick Washburn, editor of Journalism History. Portions of chapter 4 were originally published as “Claiming Journalistic Truth; US Press Guardedness Toward Edward L. Bernays’ Conception of the Minority Voice and the ‘Corroding Acid’ of Propaganda,” Journalism Studies, 10, no. 3 (June 2009): 353–367. In addition, portions of chapter 5 are in press under the title “A View That’s Fit to Print: The National Association of Manufacturers’ Free Enterprise Rhetoric as Integration Propaganda in the New York Times, 1937–1939” to be published in Journalism Studies in 2010. Portions of chapter 3 were originally published as “Journalism’s Counterinsurgency Against ‘Free Space’; The ANPA Anti-Publicity Bulletin, 1921–1926,” Journalism History 35, no. 2 (Summer 2009): 91–97. Both publications, and their presses, have supported this work by authorizing the reproduction of parts of these earlier works.
Finally, my deepest gratitude to my wife, Dana St. John, who has displayed a seemingly neverending patience as this project progressed from the very first day of doctoral studies to its final version, now in your hands.
