The holidays are almost upon us, so what are some quick gifts you can buy on Amazon related to Texas TV, radio, or media in general?
Now, this idea didn't happen to pop into my head just because my 101 KLOL documentary "Runaway Radio" is now on DVD and would make a perfect Christmas gift. It is available on Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble websites.
No, I thought about the Texas television anchors, reporters, meteorologists, and other journalists who have worked hard on a labor of love like your favorite lowly Texas media blogger did with his 14 year in the making film.
This list is taken from books I have received releases from over the years, with a few bonus ones from before my blog existed. To show you how hard it is to be an author, some of the books I have featured over the years are no longer available.
Here are some Texas media gift options from Houston to Dallas to Austin to El Paso and surrounding areas in the Lone Star State!
