Now celebrating its centennial, the world's first journalism school was founded by a newsman who lacked a college education. Weinberg draws on internal documents and correspondence to uncover the politics of the School from its founding to the present--the struggles over resources as well as the constant battle to balance scholarly ambitions with professional mission.
