This is an invaluable   work for both scholars and students that places film, radio, and television   within the context of the national culture experience."   --- American Historical Review "Hilmes is one of the few historians   of broadcasting to move beyond a political economy of the media. . . . Her work   should serve as a model for future histories of broadcasting."   --- Journal of Communication "All media historians will   find this work a critical addition to their bookshelves."   --- American Journalism "A major addition to media   history literature."   --- Journalism History
