Elaine Jackson Dickson, Univ. of New Mexico Journalism class of 1951, and Nancy Gas Lewis, UNM Journalism class of 1953, describe life in the Department of Journalism in the years following World War II. They recall a tightly-knit program that produced many successful graduates and the status of women and minorities on the UNM campus at that time.
The Departments of Journalism and Communication merged in 1992 to form the Department of Communication and Journalism (C&J), which in 2011 offered bachelor's degrees in communication, multimedia journalism and strategic communication, as well as master's and doctoral degrees in communication.

Adrianna McGinley, C&J class of 2011, and Yolanda Dominquez, UNM class of 1995, interviewed Jackson Dickson and Gas Lewis in August 2011. McGinley shot and edited the video with assistance from C&J faculty member, Richard J. Schaefer.
