Telecommunications, Mass Media, and Democracy The Battle for the Control of U.S. Broadcasting, 1928-1935

This book examines a critical point in US broadcasting in the late 1920s and early 1930s - the only period in which a strong opposition emerged to network-dominated, advertising-supported media such as radio. Although the opposition failed to secure airwaves for non-profit broadcasters, its critique of the formation and structure of early broadcasting anticipated much of today's most compelling media criticism.McChesney, Robert W. is the author of 'Telecommunications, Mass Media, and Democracy The Battle for the Control of U.S. Broadcasting, 1928-1935', published 1995 under ISBN 9780195093940 and ISBN 0195093941.
