Description
The Broadcast Century and Beyond, 4th Edition, is a popular history of the most influential and innovative industry of the previous
and current century. The story of broadcasting is told in a direct and informal style, blending personal insight and authoritative scholarship
to fully capture the many facets of this dynamic industry. The book vividly depicts the events, people, programs, and companies that
made television and radio dominant forms of communication.
The ability of radio and television to educate, enlighten, and stimulate
the contemporary mind is perhaps the most important of all modern technological developments. This text places the communication revolution
in a comprehensive chronological context, allowing readers to fully grasp the media's profound impact on the political, social, and economic
spheres.
