About

I am Cynthia B. Meyers (Ph.D. Radio-TV-Film, U. of Texas at Austin), and I teach media studies at a small liberal arts college in the Bronx, the College of Mount Saint Vincent.

You can reach me by email: cynthia.meyers at mountsaintvincent.edu

I am the author of A Word from Our Sponsor: Admen, Advertising, and the Golden Age of Radio, and I blog about the advertising industry past, present, and future; advertising-dependent media, such as radio, television, and digital media; and about changing advertising strategies and business models across media.

Academic publications can be found here.

I tweet as  @annehummert. 

Anne Hummert produced dozens of 1930s-40s radio serials (Ma Perkins, The Romance of  Helen Trent, Just Plain Bill, and many others) for clients such as Procter & Gamble at the advertising agency  Blackett-Sample-Hummert.

I post images from the 1930s through the 1960s about media and advertising at my Tumblr:
