BETTY HOUCHIN WINFIELD has been a member of the Missouri School of Journalism faculty since 1990. A specialist in political communication, Winfield is also an adjunct professor in the university's Department of Political Science and an affiliated professor in the Harry S. Truman School of Public Affairs. Before coming to Missouri, she was a professor of Communication and American Studies at Washington State University. She has had post-doctoral fellowships at the Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University (1991) and the Gannett Center for Media and Politics at Columbia University (1988-1989). Winfield has written three books and seven book chapters, including FDR & the News Media (Columbia University Press, 1994). She has also published more than 70 encyclopedia and journal articles and numerous scholarly papers on mass media history and White House communication. Among them are analyses of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt's relationships with the public and the media. In 1998 the University of Missouri awarded Winfield its prestigious Thomas Jefferson Award for an Academic Career Embodying the Jeffersonian Principles and Ideals in Scholarship and Teaching, and in 2002 she received the MU Faculty Alumni Award. In 2003, she was honored with a University of Missouri Curators' Professorship, which she will hold for the rest of her career at MU.
