In this book Dane S. Claussen argues that the news media have fed vocationalism and self-doubt in higher education and anti-intellectualism throughout American culture. Analyzing articles in popular national magazines since the G.I. Bill of 1944 Claussen finds that media have overwhelmingly portrayed college as a time and place for students to play sports date and marry drink and take drugs protest join fraternities and sororities go on vacations avoid the draft escape their parents and perhaps most of all network and find jobs - in short do almost anything except research study write think or debate. In the tradition of Richard Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize-winning Anti-intellectualism in American Life and Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind Claussen illustrates the counterintuitive and underestimated - nearly overlooked - role of the news media in higher education and anti-intellectualism.
