Hollywood and Broadcasting

"Michele Hilmes has produced

  an excellent introduction to a most important subject. 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."
