"[A] multi-year, multi-dimensional, and unprecedented series."--Library Journal

“An interesting addition to the wide array of topics covered in other volumes of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture. Most academic and larger public libraries, especially those that own other volumes of the encyclopedia, will definitely want to add this title.”--American Reference Books Annual

"This book addresses the breadth of mass media and a media-shaped South. . . . Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers."--Choice

“Readers interested in the media’s cultural power will find this reference work useful, entertaining, and often provocative.”--North Carolina Historical Review

“A very high standard of quality. Browsing through it will reward and, like a favorite episode of Andy Griffith, ultimately satisfy.”--Florida Historical Quarterly

“In powerful and subtle ways, the author’s introduction and individual selections underscore that the South may have been more influential on the national psyche overall than that of any other place or region other than the generic west or New York City.”--Louisiana History
