In stark contrast to the present, organized labor once had a strong voice on American broadcast radio, reaching its peak in the late 1950s. Fones-Wolf (history, West Virginia U.) relates the
history of labor’s engagement with radio and its competition with business groups to influence the American people through the medium from the 1920s through labor radio’s decline in the 1960s.
Along the way, she describes the political, economic, and legal forces that shaped the rise and fall of labor radio. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
