Voice of Newfoundland - A Social History of Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland,1939

Informationen zum Autor Jeff A. Webb is a professor and head of the Department of History at Memorial University. Klappentext 'The Voice of Newfoundland provides a great deal of previously unknown history about an important cultural medium which is often neglected in academia, and makes very good use of the information that has survived about the BCN's cultural goals and their listeners' responses to BCN programming. With a clever interplay of chronological and thematic presentation, Jeff A. Webb makes a convincing argument about the centrality of radio to the rapid political and social changes Newfoundland underwent between 1939 and 1949.'-Mary Vipond, Department of History, Concordia University Zusammenfassung The Voice of Newfoundland studies cultural and political changes in Newfoundland from 1939 to 1949 by taking a close look at the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland's radio programming and the responses of their listeners.
