Bob Stepno’s Red Liner

Even at journalism schools, promotion and tenure committees don’t routinely read weblogs.
A good sampling of what they do read is now online as a searchable
database, Prof. Carolyn Stewart Dyer’s Iowa Guide to Scholarly Journals in Mass Communication and
Related Fields.
The online edition (HTML and PDF) is at this address: http://fmp2.its.uiowa.edu/iowaguide/

couple of shortcuts that actually can be typed by a human or e-mailed
without breaking.
