Organizations like the American Journalism Historians Association, publications like American Journalism, and many individual scholars have begun efforts to make media history more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Yet despite these group and individual efforts, methodological approaches remain tied to systems and norms that are inherently inequitable. This essay argues for a paradigm shift in how media history research is done by delineating methodological hurdles faced by one researcher, discussion of the problems media historians face, and an acknowledgment of the work being done to make the field more equitable.
