Allied propaganda and the collapse of the German Empire in 1918.

Editors of academic journals make general statements about criteria for accepting submissions, but more specific advice is often needed. What are the standards for history manuscripts in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, especially now that its documentation style is being changed to American Psychological Association (APA)? The journal’s history articles are useful examples of how to set substantial purposes and present perceptive interpretations.

The Way to Peace

The double dimension —documentary and artistic— of historical writing has been virtually overshadowed by the emphasis on the scientific nature of the discipline and its subsequent expulsion from the literary canon from the nineteenth century onwards. Fictional or imaginary history then appeared as a way to safeguard the literariness of history as a formal gender, using the rhetorical discourse of historiography to achieve an effect of historicity in texts that are, however, clearly fictional, and which often have a satirical or cautionary intent. Nevertheless, most of them convey first of all considerations on the evolution of humanity, and on its History. Examples of this genre are relatively abundant and can be classified into several thematic types. This first part of this study focuses on the alternate history, the apocryphal history, the animal history, the allegorical history, and the parallel history.

Crisis and Conflict: World News Reporting Between Two Wars, 1920 – - 1940

In 1927, French author Andre Maurois published The Next Chapter: The War against the Moon, a “fantasy on the coming power of the press.” Unlike seminal dystopian works such as We, Brave New World, and 1984 in which governments control the news media, War against the Moon presents a future in which news media control the world's governments. Unevaluated heretofore by journalism historians, War against the Moon reflects post-World War I concerns regarding propaganda, the malleability of public opinion, media consolidation, the power of press barons, and the drift of news toward sensationalism.
