Abstract
The inaugural Deutschmann Essays perpetuate in print the insights from senior media scholars on authoring significant scholarship to accomplish sustained excellence. The AEJMC instituted in 1969 the Deutschmann Award. Since our field was initially dominated by White men, so was the Deutschmann Award. Over 54 years of the award, 27 of 34 awardees were White men, one person of color, and six women. However, of the 10 most recent recipients, five have been women and one a person of color. AEJMC leaders are sincerely committed to recognizing the accomplishments of more diverse nominees, including women and people of color.
