- Description:
- John E. Fetzer, managing director of the Fetzer Broadcasting Company and the owner of radio stations WKZO and WJEF, dedicates the WJEF station in Grand Rapids, MI. Fetzer laments that the technologies developed after World War I which promised to ensure peace were turned to war, and notes that radio has been turned to the service of propaganda to spread fear and dissension. Fetzer says that radio in America must strive to be a democratic method of communication and a way to keep citizens informed by hearing the voices of their public officials. He dedicates WJEF as a tool for democracy and a medium for communication, education, and public service in Grand Rapids.
