The Japan Times published an article on Michael Socolow, an associate professor of communication and journalism at the University of Maine, and his latest book, “Six Minutes in Berlin: Broadcast Spectacle and Rowing Gold at the Nazi Olympics.” The book caught the attention of the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation, which named Socolow the winner of its 2018 Broadcasting Historian Award, the article states. The article also included a Q&A with Socolow where he discusses the book, general thoughts on the evolution of the Olympics across the decades and various innovations in sports media since the early days of radio.
