Queer Airwaves
The Story of Gay and Lesbian Broadcasting
Phylis Johnson; Michael C. Keith Ph.D.
Johnson (Southern Illinois University at Carbondale) and Keith (communications, Boston College) use original interviews and oral history to document the gay community’s use of electronic media for networking and creating a sense of community. They consider the place of electronic media in the lives on this minority, examine its uses in promoting visibility, and critically assess the current state of queer media production. Chapters outline the rise of queer radio, the roles of music and TV, the place of profit, the practice of outing queer broadcasters, the relationship of the queer community with the larger society, and crucial position of queer youth.
