Combining a deep love of radio with sharp appreciation of how it is being shaped by the shifting world of culture, music, industry and twenty-first century life, Radio in the Digital Age is a wide-ranging, up-to-date, and highly readable exploration of this wonderfully protean medium.''\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Hendy, Sussex University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eRadio’s influence can be found in almost every corner of new media. \u003ci\u003eRadio in the Digital Age\u003c\/i\u003e assesses a medium that has not only survived the challenges of a new technological age but indeed has extended its reach. This is not a book about digital radio, but rather about the medium of radio in its many analogue and digital forms in an age characterised by digital technologies. The context of the digital age reveals new insights about the nature of radio.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this important addition to the world of radio scholarship, Dubber provides a theoretical framework for understanding the medium - allowing for complexity and contradiction, while avoiding essentialism and technological determinism. Introducing radio as a series of practices and phenomena that can be understood through a range of discursive categories, this book explores the relationships between radio, music, politics, storytelling and society in a new and thoughtful way.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book will make essential reading for students of media, communication, broadcasting and the digital industries. It offers a timely and comprehensive introduction for anyone who wishes to understand the role of radio in today’s media landscape.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements vi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbbreviations viii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What is Radio? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Radio in the Digital Landscape 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Radio and Everyday Life 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Sound of Music 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Stories in the Air 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Radio and Technology 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Radio in Society 150\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Don’t Touch That Dial (What Dial?) 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReferences 183\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex 192\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407326998808,"sku":"9780745661964","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745661964.jpg?v=1784162197","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/radio-in-the-digital-age-hardback-9780745661964","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
