Almira Spencer’s Young Ladies’ Journal of Literature and Science (1830-31) was the rare magazine both published and edited by a woman in the early nineteenth century and illustrates how such publications were creative and capitalist ventures that allowed women to exercise an unusual amount of freedom in business and exert social influence. Spencer's magazine was an instrument for expressing her opinions, an occasion to be an arbiter of middle-class values, and a means to earning a living. Spencer harnessed her experience as a respectable woman, mother, and teacher to guide, inform, and educate the daughters of America's middle class through a magazine carefully crafted to consider their unique intellectual needs, moral responsibilities, and role in society. By launching her opinions and judgement into the public arena through a magazine, Spencer embodied both the possibilities of empowerment and obstacles of constraint in middle-class women’s lives in the 1820s and 1830s.
Almira Spencer的《Young Ladies ' Journal of Literature and Science》(1830-31)是19世纪早期罕见的由女性出版和编辑的杂志,它说明了这些出版物是如何具有创造性和资本主义的冒险,使女性能够在商业中行使不同寻常的自由,并发挥社会影响力。斯宾塞的杂志是她表达观点的工具,是她成为中产阶级价值观仲裁者的机会,也是她谋生的手段。斯宾塞利用她作为一个受人尊敬的妇女、母亲和教师的经验,通过一本精心制作的杂志来指导、告知和教育美国中产阶级的女儿,考虑她们独特的智力需求、道德责任和社会角色。斯宾塞通过杂志将自己的观点和判断推向公众舞台,体现了19世纪20年代和30年代中产阶级妇女生活中获得权力的可能性和受到约束的障碍。

since 2010—the first time the United States has used the Espionage Act to prosecute a publisher of classified information, rather than an informant. Assange is currently being held in a jail in London. Engelman and Shenkman’s study of the Espionage Act of 1917, the first history of this important and troublesome law, concludes with a call for its replacement. “Digitization has increased both the capacity of the state to amass extraordinary levels of secret information and the potential for journalists to obtain that information, raising the stakes in a constitutional crisis that can only be addressed by replacement of the Espionage Act,” they write (pp. 269-270). Whatever form that replacement might take, it will need to distinguish between secrets that serve the public interest and those that impede just and democratic decision-making. A worthy replacement will also need to distinguish between disclosure of classified information and its publication. Engelman and Shenkman’s compelling history should inform deliberations about the roles of secrecy and publicity in our digital world for some time to come.

In a reflection on the founding of American Journalism in 1983 by Gary Whitby, this fortieth anniversary essay examines the earliest beginnings of the journal, and the chief aims of the individuals who helped establish the journal: to improve historical scholarship through superior historiography. This essay argues that Whitby’s founding of American Journalism did more than help scholars advance in their profession. It was also a critical event in advancing historical scholarship among journalism and mass communication scholars.

Walter Lippmann’s seminal writing, Public Opinion, remains a classic text in communications studies a century after its first publication. By examining Lippmann’s unpublished notes and drafts alongside key contemporary works, new light is shed on how the book’s origins predated the First World War and how its argument went beyond debates about technocratic government. Lippmann’s main agenda was to contest liberal-constitutionalist theories of public opinion; his core intervention was to develop a social psychology of opinion formation. He drafted and wrote Public Opinion as a descriptive account of democratic politics under modern conditions. Instead of simply prescribing technocratic solutions, Lippmann framed a starker paradox: democracy through public opinion defined modern politics, but modernity also made opinion formation ever more difficult.

the trust on which journalism—and ultimately democracy—rest (p. 6). Clash will interest journalism and political historians, and it is suitable for assignment to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. By focusing on more recent presidents with more conflictual press relations, Marshall arguably underplays the docility of the Washington press corps, whose coverage has historically been more stenographic than investigative. But this narrower focus is far more digestible than Harold Holzer’s recent tome, The Presidents vs. the Press. In all, Clash is a welcome addition to the canon, and a reminder of why democracy requires a free and vigorous press to hold presidents and other public officials to account.
《冲突》将引起新闻学和政治史学家的兴趣,适合给高年级本科生和研究生做作业。马歇尔关注的是最近几任与媒体关系更矛盾的总统,可以说,他低估了华盛顿记者团的温顺。从历史上看,华盛顿记者团的报道更多的是速记,而不是调查。但这种狭隘的关注远比哈罗德·霍尔泽(Harold Holzer)最近的巨著《总统与媒体》(The Presidents vs. The Press)容易理解。总而言之,《冲突》是经典的一个受欢迎的补充,它提醒人们,为什么民主需要一个自由而充满活力的媒体来问责总统和其他公职人员。
