Francis C. Byrnes Collection. Hal R. Taylor Collection., 488 p., Summary of the book, with emphasis on Chapter 13, "Library and mass media systems" (pp. 403-432).
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.
