Faculty Update: Smith Presents Paper
Dr. Mark Smith, Assistant Professor of Communication, presented a co-authored paper
in October 2008 at the Great Plains Radio
History Symposium at Kansas State. The paper, "The Early Years
of Talk Radio, WJAG, Norfolk, NE," chronicles a talk show that began
as the Voice of the Street in 1932. In the 1940s, the
talk show and its programming techniques faced an FCC investigation
that lingered for more than a year. The co-author of the paper
is Dr. Larry Walklin of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
