Socolow named 2018 Broadcast Historian for book ‘Six Minutes in Berlin’
Michael Socolow, an associate professor of communication and journalism at the University of Maine, was named the 2018 Broadcast Historian by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation for his book, “Six Minutes in Berlin.” The LABF supports a broadcast archive housed at the University of Maryland, College Park. Socolow plans to donate a copy of his book to the archives, according to a news release from the Broadcast Education Association, which administers the award. In 2015, LABF and BEA partnered to establish the annual Broadcast Historian Award which is given to an educator who has published or produced work specifically related to broadcast history, the release states. Socolow will receive a $5,000 check at the Broadcast Education Association’s annual convention April 8 in Las Vegas.
