Radio's influence can be found in almost every corner of newmedia. Radio in the Digital Age assesses a medium that hasnot only survived the challenges of a new technological age butindeed has extended its reach. This is not a book about digitalradio, but rather about the medium of radio in its many analogueand digital forms in an age characterised by digital technologies.The context of the digital age reveals new insights about thenature of radio.
In this important addition to the world of radio scholarship,Dubber provides a theoretical framework for understanding themedium - allowing for complexity and contradiction, while avoidingessentialism and technological determinism. Introducing radio as aseries of practices and phenomena that can be understood through arange of discursive categories, this book explores therelationships between radio, music, politics, storytelling andsociety in a new and thoughtful way.
This book will make essential reading for students of media,communication, broadcasting and the digital industries. It offers atimely and comprehensive introduction for anyone who wishes tounderstand the role of radio in today's media landscape.
