The fact that the United States never developed a national public broadcaster, has remained a central problem of US broadcasting history. Rather than ponder what might have been, authors Joy Hayes and David Goodman look at what did happen. There was in fact a great deal of government involvement in broadcasting in the US before 1945 at local, state, and federal levels. Among the federal agencies on the air were the Department of Agriculture, the National Park Service, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Theatre Project. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contextualizing the different series aired by the Educational Radio Project as part of a unified project about radio and citizenship is crucial to understanding them. \u003ci\u003eNew Deal Radio\u003c\/i\u003e argues that this distinctive government commercial partnership amounted to a critical intervention in US broadcasting and an important chapter in the evolution of public radio in America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Goodman, Joy Elizabeth Hayes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978817460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978817463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"David Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059106050303,"sku":"9781978817463","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a8fe161-d132-4a0d-bd2f-9ef3e71e29c3.jpg?v=1685056262","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-deal-radio-david-goodman-9781978817463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
