WELCOME TO BOOKBLIPS!¡BIENVENIDOS!

BOOK NUMBER 25
SUBJECT MATTER: African-Americans, Radio&Television, Broadcasting
TITLE: I See Black People-The Rise and Fall of African-American-Owned Television and Radio
AUTHOR: Kristal Brent Zook
PUBLISHER: Nation Books
COPYRIGHT: 2008, 200 pages

A swell book consisting of interviews with some of the few African-American people involved in the business of owning, managing, buying, and running radio stations in America.
They discuss their beginnings, their challenges in the business, and the current status of the industry where only 3% of broadcast media is controlled by people of color. You can read this informative book in a few hours. Only thing missing: some pictures would have made this tome even better.
