Only Connect: A Cultural History of Broadcasting in the United States

Got for Class, Came as expected.

Overall excellent description of history of television, mostly pertaining to United States.-Assigned at University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN-

The chapters are quite lengthy, but this a great text for a media or communications class. Hilmes explains American broadcasting in a way that is both enriching and easy to understand. The concept of "connecting" is effective and interesting.

If you're a media buff, if you would like to know the history of radio and television then this is the book for you. We are using this as a textbook in a Digital Media class at college. It is packed with history; you will want to savor every chapter.

It's ok, I guess. A little too liberal and far too left wing and praising of Barack Obama. I needed this for a class.

Needed it for class and got it before time.
