History of Broadcasting

What shaped the British presentation of apartheid on television and radio? How did Native Americans help influence indigenous media history in twentieth-century Oklahoma? What was the BBC’s attitude towards and treatment of the issue of nuclear weapons during the Cold War?

This October, the BBC will celebrate its centenary – 100 years of broadcasting news, entertainment, and information. In recognition of this milestone, OUP has compiled a selection of thought-provoking research on the history of broadcasting, showcasing an array of content from OUP History’s growing portfolio of books, journals, and online products.

Freely available for a limited time, this offering navigates the vital and often complicated role broadcasting played in some of the most impactful global events. We invite you to enjoy this collection and consider the lasting impact that media voices can have on our collective opinions, thoughts, and actions.
