This revealing look at the life and career of Howard Stern examines
his role as a champion of free speech and his amazing success at
bringing his own unique brand of "reality" radio to the airwaves.
First Amendment rights, particularly freedom of speech, play an
integral part in all modern means of communication. Howard Stern
has tested the limits and pushed the boundaries of freedom of
speech to the delight of some and the disgust of others. Howard
Stern: A Biography explores this long-debated topic and sheds light
on how one media star has made a significant difference. Offering
an engaging and insightful look at the life and career of radio's
leading Shock Jock, the book explores Stern's youth, his first
forays into radio, and his desire to move up in a competitive
medium. Of course, it also covers his battles with the Federal
Communications Commission, how he was finally able to sidestep the
censors, and the significant changes the battle brought about in
what is deemed acceptable on radio.
