Abstract
Analyses of the characteristics of faculties in journalism and mass communication programs around the country in 2001–the most recent year for which data are available–show that they have become more diverse in the last 12 years, both in terms of gender and race and ethnicity.
The rate of change has been notable for women, suggesting slow but steady growth in the number and percentage of women who are on journalism and mass communication faculties around the country.
Diversification along racial and ethnic lines, however, has been much slower. More minorities are being hired, but the rate of hiring is comparable to that of other faculty members.
