Chapter 10: The Constitution of the Air

According to Paul Starr, The Creation of the Media, "inconceivable that we should allow so great a possibility for service, for news, for entertainment, for education, and for vital commercial purposes, to be drowned in advertising chatter". (Hebert Hoover Pg. 338)

My opinion about this quote that Hoover said is that he didn't understand what all the talk about advertising was. I think that he also meant that there should be any talk about advertising on the radio. Advertising is a way that radio stations could make money. I also think that advertising on the radio is a way to get people to buy products.
