JMS Mourns the Loss of Emerita Professor Barbara Cloud
A distinguished educator, researcher, and writer, Dr, Cloud specialized in the history of journalism in the American West and media law and contributed many book reviews and general interest articles for a variety of publications. She served as president of the American Journalism History Association in the mid 1980s, and edited and published Journalism History from 1992 to 2001. She was awarded the Nevada Humanities Commission’s and University of Nevada Press’s Wilbur S. Shepperson Award for Scholarship in the Humanities and was teaching a class on women and the media and researching a biography of “Pop” Squires, a Las Vegas newspaper pioneer, when she died. She served as department chairperson in the late 1980s and was instrumental in the transformation of the UNLV Department of Communication Studies into the Hank Greenspun School of Communication, which she directed for a year before becoming Associate Provost in 1998, a post she held for five years. Prior to coming to UNLV in 1979, she worked as a reporter for the Idaho Falls Post-Register and Bend, Oregon, Bulletin during summer vacations, as News Editor of the Springfield, Oregon, News, as Executive Secretary of the Florey Memorial Fundraising Campaign in the Australian National University, and as a Public Relations Consultant in Perth, Australia. In the early 1960s she interviewed movie stars and other celebrities for a Los Angeles free-lance writer. She was a graduate of Stanford University, where she met her husband, Stan Cloud. She also earned degrees at the University of Oregon and the University of Washington. Faculty, friends and students lost a wonderful colleague and valued friend. She is missed very much.
