- Description
- In 1950 forty-one women working in the American radio and television were excluded from the media industry. They were included on a blacklist published in the book "Red channels : the report of communist influence in radio and television" and engineered by a group of Cold War anti-communists. This book tells the stories of the group of women who instead of being influenced by the communist party had progressive ideas for transforming the broadcast medium, as well as the group of anti-communists who created the blacklist.
