Johnson & Keith – Queer Airwaves: The Story of Gay and Lesbian Broadcasting

Phyllis A. Johnson & Michael C. Keith – Queer Airwaves: The Story of Gay and Lesbian Broadcasting

This book is both a retrospective history of the gay community’s use of electronic media as a way of networking and creating a sense of community, and an examination of the current situation, an analysis and critical assessment of gay/lesbian electronic media. Keith and Johnson use original interviews and oral history to delineate the place of electronic media in the lives of this increasingly visible and vocal minority in America.
