Publisher Description It reaches millions of people every minute of the day, it costs usvirtually nothing and yet we take it entirely for granted. Superseded bytelevision as the primary source of entertainment and information,radio still has a unique place in the mass media spectrum.Whilethe textual properties and reception of film and television havereceived considerable critical attention, until now radio has onlyreally been considered in terms of its history and its modes ofproduction. On Air adopts a wide-ranging theoretical and criticalapproach. It provides an in-depth examination of radios codes (speech,music, noise and silence),and the conventions of using these codes andthe dominant modes of reception. The text offers a vocabulary andmethodology for analysing radio programmes, drawing on work by bothmedia theorists and professional broadcasters in Britain, Australia, andNorth America. Written by an academic and a practitioner, On Airprovides a critical overview of radio for media students, as well assuggestions for practical activities, a time-line of major events in thehistory of radio, and a glossary of key terms.
