Excerpt from Radio: The Fifth EstateWhen radio was in its infancy a brief quarter century ago, its broadcasters were inexperienced and learned by doing. But radio is now a highly recognized industry in its own right, and it must meet the challenge of a modern world. It has be come necessary for broadcasters to receive training and back ground. It was to meet this need that the nbc Summer Radio Institutes were formed, the first of which was the nbc-north western University Summer Radio Institute offered in 1942. Those of us who were responsible for the instructional courses of that and subsequent Institutes took it upon ourselves to get together the necessary information and materials, thinking that they might well grow into a series of standard textbooks for other radio courses.For a number of reasons it was not practical to bring out such a series of books in 1942 in published form. On the other hand, it occurred to us that we might edit the notes we used that year and put them into shape for use by the students in the three Summer Radio Institutes being given in 1943 by the National Broadcasting Company in' collaboration with North western University, Stanford University, and the University of California at Los Angeles. By so doing, we could see whether the information was practical and usable and whether too much had been omitted that should have been included. In the light of this tryout, the material might then be re-edited for publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
