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.”
