When Jessica Mitford's The American Way of Death hit bookshelves, the American funeral industry reacted as if it had been nailed into one of its own gilded hardwood coffins. "She's a communist," they cried, "and a crackpot as well!" The industry launched a campaign reminiscent of the McCarthy era, attacking Mitford's credibility as well as that of her husband, attorney Robert Treuhaft, on grounds of their associations with the Communist Party. But the industry's ill-prepared spokesmen did little to discredit Mitford's devastating reporting, much of which quoted directly publications of the "dismal trade" itself. Piling on were the likes of ultra-conservatives California Congressman James B. Utt and Albert F. Canwell, a one-term Washington legislator who launched his own anti-Mitford campaign. Despite a flurry of efforts to discredit Mitford and her book, traditional news media generally reviewed the book positively and rejected the anti-Mitford charges. In part this was because it was a clumsy effort; more likely it was that news media, in the recent wake of the McCarthy hearings, were more cautious in embracing such claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scholars have credited the Chicago Defender as being a major proponent of the northward movement of African-Americans during the First World War. However, there is very little scholarship on the Defender's commentary on the conditions of African-Americans over time in the so-called ‘promised land’ of the North. This article shows that when the economic opportunities declined during the Great Depression, the Defender started discouraging this northward movement. This article further shows how a major voice for African-American civil rights discovered the many facets of oppression and realized that it must be fought on every front and in every region of the country.

This article informs about the incorporation of music as a part of writing technique. The objective is to improve the nascent journalist's use of language through instruction in writing techniques other than the inverted pyramid. Writing assignments for the course are "feature" topics such as profiles of individuals and descriptive pieces on newsworthy events. Songs, often rock, are selected for the class according to the lyricist's use of imagery, metaphor, simile, word- pictures, etc. A week of class time is devoted to listening to the music and discussing how the techniques used by the lyricist might also be used by a journalist doing a story.
