An eight-volume series by David Copeland, professor in the School of Communications, has received several national awards. The Library Journal named Copeland’s series, The Greenwood Library of American War Reporting, as a Best Reference Source for 2005. The series was named as a Booklist Editor’s Choice for 2005. The Columbia Journalism Review said the series was “one of the most extensive anthologies of any kind of journalism ever.”
The series looks at the press and its coverage of American wars from the French and Indian War through the current Iraq crisis. The series contains more than 4,000 pages of analysis, images and press accounts.
In the series, Copeland wrote the volumes on the French and Indian War and the War of 1812. Brooke Barnett, associate professor in communications, wrote the volume on the Gulf War, the war on terror and the current war in Iraq.
