WHAV’s Fall Membership Drive Remembers John T. ‘Jack’ Russ

Taylor, first publisher of the Boston Globe, he said “We know that broadcasting is closely linked with the job that a newspaper has to do—the dissemination of news and advertising and public service to the community and its business life. As time goes on, the vital part that radio plays in a progressive community will become more apparent.”
