Publisher's Synopsis

This book shows that U.S. commercial broadcasting's emergence in the late 1920s and early 1930s was met by organized opposition and a general level of public antipathy that has been almost entirely overlooked in previous scholastic publications. McChesney highlights the activities of the broadcast reform movement, and shows that although it failed, it provides important lessons for communication historians, and policymakers today.
