When Communication Became a Discipline argues that speech and journalism professors embraced the concept of communication between 1964 and 1982. They changed the names of their scholarly societies and journals and revised their academic curricula. Five “strands” of scholarship became and remain central to this transformation. Communication is not a traditional academic discipline, but its scholars convinced their colleagues to understand and embrace it. When Communication Became a Discipline presents an argument with historical evidence that illustrates scholarly creativity at its finest.

An important mark of the maturing of a discipline is the maturing of its history, its sense of self. William F. Eadie’s When Communication Became a Discipline marks this stage of maturity, and is an important volume for that reason. This book examines a key turn of several decades’ making when today’s discipline of communication began to form the identity it has now. Scholars in communication, of course, but also in English and in journalism will find this volume essential for getting our bearings with the rest of the academy.
