Description

Understanding Radio by Andrew Crisell provides a comprehensive exploration of the medium's limitations and possibilities. This fully revised edition delves into how radio processes genres such as news, drama, and comedy in distinctive ways, shedding light on the listener's role in shaping audience studies. The book examines the sound medium's crucial role in modern popular culture, particularly in comparison to television. A new chapter on 'talk-and-music' radio highlights the format adopted by many of the new stations, offering insight into the evolving broadcasting landscape. With its revised history and new content, Understanding Radio is an invaluable resource for students of media and programme producers alike. Andrew Crisell's expertise in communication and media studies shines through in this authoritative text, making it a valuable addition to any library or study space.
