Abstract
This article recovers the historical roots of international communication research in the United States from the journalism of Walter Lippmann and Charles Merz. A crit- ical reading of their 1920 study of the New York Times coverage of the Russian Rev- olution suggests that their analytically sophisticated presentation of a politically vital topic legitimizes their press criticism as intellectual groundwork for the rise of an international communication research tradition.
