Personal and Public Interests : Frieda B. Hennock and the Federal Communications Commission
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The book is a useful resource on television regulation, particularly during the industry's early years. . . . Upper-division undergraduate and up.”–
“This is a readable and important study- and will hopefully spark further work on some other important commissioners in the FCC's nearly 70-year history.”–
“Personal and Public Interests serves as a much-needed corrective to the scholarly oversight of Hennock's life and work, which represent the intersection of the both broadcasting and women in the United States.”–
Book Description
Frieda B. Hennock, guided by intense personal and public interests, became the first woman appointed to serve on the Federal Communications Commission. Her tenure there coincided with a period of unprecedented regulatory activity. Simultaneously challenging the FCC's status quo and making a political name for herself with her tireless efforts to develop educational television, Hennock became one of the most significant female political figures of this century. This book serves as a much-needed corrective to the scholarly oversight of Hennock's life and work.
