Professor James W. Carey, former dean emeritus of the College of Communications at the University of Illinois at Urbana—Champaign, encouraged his students to study the ideas of Professor John Dewey, one of America's leading philosophers, teachers, and communications scholars. Dewey's work is not easily accessible, however. The manifold questions he asked in the process of reaching answers to his key concerns and hundreds of related questions fill (at least) 36 books and 815 articles, in which one writer insists there is not one eminently quotable line. Nonetheless, Carey maintained that studying Dewey's conversation was a key to understanding both democracy and journalism, which he maintained are synonymous.
