um Distinguished Service to Research Award. Wilhoit, a former editor of Journalism Abstracts, continues to direct the Journalism Library at Indiana University and is assistant professor at the School of Journalism. Their preface notes that the bibliography serves three primary purposes: 1) a reference source, 2) a research and reading list, and 3) a collection management and buying guide. "All entries have one common factor: they treat the subject in broad general terms." Chapters include "General Communications," "Broadcasting Media," "Print Media," "Film, Advertising and Public Relations," "Bibliographies, Directories and Handbooks," "Journals," and "Indexes to the Mass Communication Literature." Topics not covered (unless in the course of discussing broader mass communications subjects) are censorship, law, copyright, printing, post office, instructional broadcasting, and telephone and telegraph. Entries are descriptive and detailed. In the citation to Douglass Cater's The Fourth Branch of Gouernment (no. 59), for example, it is revealed that Cater was one of the early writers to realize the importance of the reporter's role in government, as exemplified by the Washington journalist. As a Washington reporter himself who was working at the time for The Reporter, an analytical fortnightly, he observed and participated, so that his book is written from first-hand knowledge. It is this attention to detail that makes Mass Media Bibliography so indispensable. When used as a buying guide, the only problem one might encounter is the lack of purchase price and ISBN numbers. Author, title, and subject indexes are exhaustive. So is everything else." (Jo A. Cates: Journalism - a guide to the reference literature. Englewood, Col.: Libraries Unlimited, 2nd ed. 1997 nr. 12)

That may be, but the misspelling in the introduction and introduction notes of the name of a major journalism bibliographer (Wolseley) is disturbing. Users are advised to consult the author/title/subject index for easiest access. See also "Guide to Students' Research: A Bibliography of Mass Communication", which chronicles research studies, many focusing on critical issues in journalism, at five Nigerian universities." (Jo A.
