W. Joseph Campbell
is a tenured associate professor at American University’s School of Communication. Campbell joined the AU faculty in 1997, after more than 20 years as a newspaper and wire service reporter for the Cleveland (Ohio ) Plain Dealer, the Hartford (Connecticut) Courant, and for the Associated Press — a career that took him on assignments across North America and to West Africa, Asia and Europe. He is the chair of the History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
Dr. Campbell earned his Ph.D. in mass communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1997. He has since written four books, the most recent of which was The Year That Defined American Journalism: 1897 and the Clash of Paradigms (Routledge, 2006). His second book; Yellow Journalism: Puncturing the Myths, Defining the Legacies (Praeger, 2001), challenged prominent myths of the yellow press period in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. His research about the yellow press has won awards from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and the American Journalism Historians Association.
Campbell has taught seventeen different courses in ten years at American University, including: Media Myth and Power (an honors colloquium), Foreign Policy and the Press, Seminar in Public Affairs, Advanced Reporting, In-Depth Reporting, Global Journalism, Contemporary Media in a Global Society, Censorship and Media, Understanding Mass Media, and Sports Journalism.
