Please vote for the eight books about journalism you think are essential for any journalism student, or perhaps everybody, to read. While we hope that you will vote for eight (8) books overall, you do NOT have to vote for any books within a SPECIFIC category. There is also room for you to write in candidates that have not yet been mentioned, within each section. Moreover, you can vote for fewer than eight books, if you don’t think there are eight worthy candidates. Or you can vote for more than eight books , if you think eight is too limited. The survey has ten questions and should only take a couple of minutes to complete. The current candidates are based on a survey conducted at the Joint Journalism Historians Conference this spring and informal conversations. Thank you for participating.
