Reviews

'The Voice of Newfoundland provides a great deal of previously unknown history about an important cultural medium which is often neglected in academia, and makes very good use of the information that has survived about the BCN's cultural goals and their listeners' responses to BCN programming. With a clever interplay of chronological and thematic presentation, Jeff A. Webb makes a convincing argument about the centrality of radio to the rapid political and social changes Newfoundland underwent between 1939 and 1949.' Mary Vipond, Department of History, Concordia University

'The Voice of Newfoundland is a work of subtlety and imagination that provides a compelling view of the dialectic between broadcaster and audience in the creation of culture. It deserves an international audience and should be standard reading for PhD fields in Canadian history.' -- Bill Parenteau Canadian Historical Review: vol 91:04:10
