About the book
Understanding Radio is a fully revised edition of a key radio textbook. Andrew Crisell explores how radio processes genres such as news, drama and comedy in highly distinctive ways, and how the listener's use of the medium has important implications for audience studies. He explains why the sound medium, even more than television, has played such a crucial role in the development of modern popular culture. The book also introduces students to the broadcasting landscape in a time of great change for national and local radio provision. Understanding Radio will be essential reading both to students of the media and to those with a practical involvement in programme production. This new edition includes a revised history of radio bringing the reader right up to date and a brand new chapter on 'talk-and-music' radio, the format adopted by many of the new stations.
