Notes:
70 pages, "This book is intended as a critique of the field of development communication and in this, anthropology has a key role to play." Author examines the uses of radio for development, the impact on oral culture and the use of radio by indigenous people in Ecuator and miners in Bolivia.
A study of the rise in popularity of radio in rural America in the 1920s and the portrayal of farmers in the press during this time. In the effort to promote the general value of radio, the press focused on how it was adopted by farmers. The media exaggerated the shortcomings of farm life, supporting the increasingly urban and modern way of life, and isolating and marginalizing rural dwellers.
