Ph.D.: Communication, Library and Information Science, and Media Studies Events

The Society of Professional Journalists presented Jerome Aumente, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University, with its national award for excellence in journalism research during a recent ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Citing his book, "From Ink on Paper to the Internet: Past Challenges and Future Transformations for New Jersey's Newspapers", judges called it a "well-researched book" in which "...the larger and more complex issue of the relationship between media and the Internet is revealed", and further described Aumente's work as an "obvious labor of love, the research is thorough and well executed. A must-have for every journalist's reading wish-list".
