If you’re reading this, you’ve subscribed to the History of Journalism Book Club. Welcome! My name is Eleanor Cummins and I’m a freelance science journalist based in Brooklyn. In June 2020, I started compiling a reading list of 50-odd books and counting that tell the story of American journalism—where we came from, how we got here, and what that means for where we go next. The goal is to create a resource for journalists who want to understand more about the history of this industry (because we certainly aren’t getting it in j-school or on the job) in order to advance equity in our coverage, institutions, and the country today.
