The Voice of Newfoundland studies these changes by taking a close look at the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland's radio programming and the responses of their listeners. Making excellent use of program recordings, scripts, and letters from listeners, as well as government and corporate archives, Jeff A. Webb examines several innovative programs that responded to the challenges of the Great Depression and Second World War. Webb explores the roles that radio played in society and culture during a vibrant and pivotal time in Newfoundland's history, and demonstrates how the broadcaster's decision to air political debates was pivotal in Newfoundlanders's decision to join Canada and to become part of North American consumer society. An engaging study rich in details of some of twentieth-century Newfoundland's most fascinating figures, The Voice of Newfoundland is a remarkable history of its politics and culture and an important analysis of the influence of the media and the participation of listeners. 606 $aRadio broadcasting$zNewfoundland and Labrador$xHistory 606 $aRadio broadcasting$xSocial aspects$zNewfoundland and Labrador$xHistory 607 $aNewfoundland and Labrador$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadio broadcasting$xHistory. 615 0$aRadio broadcasting$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a384.54/0971809044 700 $aWebb$b Jeff A$g(Jeffrey Allison),$f1962-$0916910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456783103321 996 $aThe voice of Newfoundland$92055556 997 $aUNINA
