Welcome to Mizzou, as the University of Missouri is widely known, where Walter Williams started the world's first school of journalism in 1908.
Williams, first dean of the school, believed that journalism education should be professionalized and provided at a university. Toward that end, with the blessing of the University of Missouri and the state legislature, and with financial help from the Missouri Press Association, Williams started the school in September of that year.
Today, many in the profession of journalism rank the Missouri School of Journalism not only as the first in the world, but also the best. In survey after survey, Missouri finishes at the top when broadcast and advertising executives and editors are asked, "What school does the best job of preparing students for work at your company?"
