- Donna_Halper abstract "Donna L. Halper (born February 1947, Dorchester, Massachusetts) is a Boston-based historian and radio consultant. She is author of the first booklength study devoted to the history of women in American broadcasting, Invisible Stars: A Social History of Women in American Broadcasting. In 2014 a new updated edition of this groundbreaking book was published. In late 2008, she completed her fourth book, Icons of Talk: The Media Mouths that Changed America, a history of talk shows; that year, she also had a chapter published in a new book by Michael C. Keith called Radio Cultures: The Sound Medium in American Life. In 2010, she had an essay about the impact of McCarthyism on broadcasting published in a new encyclopedia, Perspectives in American Social History: Cold War and McCarthy Era. In 2011, she completed a new book for Arcadia Publishing, Boston Radio 1920-2010. [1] And in 2014, she completed a revised and expanded second edition of Invisible Stars: A Social History of Women in American Broadcasting.[2]Halper attended Northeastern University, where she received B.A., M.A., and M.Ed. degrees. In 1968 she became the first woman announcer at Northeastern's campus radio station, WNEU (now WRBB). Halper went on to a career that included twelve years on the air, in Cleveland, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Boston. She also was a music director, who gave a number of new bands their start. While working at WMMS in Cleveland, Halper discovered the rock band Rush. Halper was also pivotal in getting them signed to a record contract; as a result, the band dedicated their first two albums to her. An article about her longstanding friendship with the band was published by her hometown newspaper, The Patriot Ledger, in July, 2008. Halper is also seen in the 2010 documentary about Rush, Beyond the Lighted Stage. On June 25, 2010, she was a speaker when Rush received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.In 1980, Halper became a radio consultant, one of the few women to do so. She has consulted for radio stations all over the United States, eastern Canada and Puerto Rico, hiring and training staff, doing market research, choosing the right format, etc. She works with both college and commercial stations, in markets of all sizes.In the late 1980s, Halper also began teaching college courses about broadcasting, media criticism and media history. She continued to teach part-time at Emerson College, in the journalism department and the Institute of Liberal Arts until the summer of 2008, when she accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Communication at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1987–88, Donna taught a couple of courses at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire on radio programming. She has also taught at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where in 2002, she decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Communication. In May 2011, she earned her Ph.D. from UMass Amherst, urging her fans and friends to further their education if possible, as she is proof that education can be received at any age. Additionally, she has taught media-related courses at the University of Massachusetts Boston.While acknowledging that she does not always agree with him, Halper is a fan of Joseph Farah, the founder of WorldNetDaily.com, and "makes the site required reading for her students at Lesley University."Halper has won or been nominated for several awards for her teaching. In 2012, she was promoted to Associate Professor of Communication at Lesley University.A media and social historian, Halper has written a number of essays for encyclopedias and magazines. She does frequent speaking engagements about the history of broadcasting, bringing with her a collection of rare memorabilia. She has also been a guest expert on NPR, PBS, the History Channel, and on local television stations like WCVB-TV and NECN, commenting on media history.Her expertise is in women and minorities in media history, Talk radio, as well as individual entrepreneurs whose contributions to broadcasting have been overlooked. Among the forgotten broadcast pioneers whose careers she has researched are John Shepard III, Eunice Randall, and Big Brother Bob Emery. She is currently working on a pictorial history of Boston radio and television. Some of her other essays can be found on The Archives @ BostonRadio.org, where she is a contributing editor.In her spare time, she collects rare magazines and artifacts about media history, as well as stamps and old postcards. Halper has been a Big Sister and a mentor, and for the past 29 years has been the advocate for an adult with autism.".
