BIO
Edward C. Pease, Ph.D.
Professor of Journalism
Former Head, Department of Journalism & Communication
Utah State University

TED PEASE is a semi-retired journalism professor and former head of the Department of Journalism and Communication at Utah State University (1994-2013). A writer and former newspaper journalist, he has taught journalism and worked in the mass media since 1976.

Pease is a newspaper columnist and editor, blogger, photographer, former Pulitzer Prize juror, co-editor of four books on the mass media and society (racial diversity, book publishing, radio, and children and the mass media), and is author or coauthor of dozens of scholarly journal articles, book chapters and essays, and hundreds of columns on the mass media and society. He also runs his own media consulting company, Pease Media, and photography company, PeezPix; publishes the daily email and blog Today’s Word on Journalism.

He is former associate director of The Freedom Forum Media Studies Center in New York City and editor of the Center’s Media Studies Journal, and has taught journalism at universities in Minnesota, California, Ohio and Vermont. He worked for newspapers, magazines and the Associated Press in Massachusetts, Minnesota and Arkansas, and continues as a freelancer at many more. His recent research includes two studies with his spouse, Dr. Brenda Cooper, of how the press framed the 2006 film Brokeback Mountain, as well as studies of film and society, media criticism, several studies on racial diversity in newspaper and TV newsrooms, and various writings on media performance, ethics and free expression.

He is an avid ocean fisherman and sailor, a bogey golfer and lumbering tennis player, an avid photographer, and devoted dog companion. For reasons that should be obvious, he has refused to get on a bicycle for more than 35 years, after riding from Seattle to Atlanta. He lived in France for two years a long time ago, playing la guitare américaine dans le Métro in Paris, among other things.
