A Story of the POQ's Fifty-Year Odyssey

In: Public opinion quarterly: journal of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, Band 51, Heft 4

Abstract

An account of the Public Opinion Quarterly from its beginning in 1937 to the present, based on personal memories of service as editor & on the memories of the other editors, rather than on documentary sources. The content has been fairly consistent over this fifty-year period, with gradual shifts associated with major world events or trends within the social sciences to increased specialization. Selection of articles has been increasingly formalized. Throughout the journal's history, finances were a source of difficulty, though many of the problems have been resolved in recent years. 3 References. W. H. Stoddard
