Radio’s Hidden Voice: The Origins of Public Broadcasting in the United States by Hugh Richard Slotten is the winner of the 2009 Best Book in Journalism and Mass Communication given by the History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).

The book examines early radio stations operated by universities and colleges that offered diverse forms of programming meant not merely to entertain but also to educate, inform, and enlighten.
