Review
“A masterwork that seamlessly weaves an array of complex elements into the story – elements such as entrepreneurship, technical developments, government regulation, patent wars, advertising, news, programming innovations, and celebrities.. The writers are to be commended for their year-by-year chronological approachand for with no problems or difficulties incorporating big-picture issues, concrete examples and social contest into that chronological framework. Students, therefore, get a strong sense of the when along with a great deal of the so what.. The book is utterly packed with seemingly minor historical tidbits that, actually, may be used as springboards for discussions of major current issues – for example, the inculcation of advertizing messages into programming content, something prevalent through the history of broadcasting in blatant ways (The Philco Hour, The Lucky Strike Dance Orchestra).”–American Journalism
