Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3MB
Overview: Richard J. Hand and Mary Traynor have produced a brilliant resource especially valuable to media educators who seek to facilitate a comprehensive view of global media that embraces radio. The authors of this extraordinary collection of original studies make a convincing case that radio diversity and accessibility is greater than ever. The in-depth chapters focus on the role of radio in small nations, including the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Laos, and Moldova. Central to the discussion is radio s impact on ethnic language groups, marginalized populations, community broadcasting, cultural identity, and the development of informed civil societies, especially in post-Communist and post-colonial democracies. Particularly informative are the twenty-two pages of cited works provided for student reading. This compelling text is a valuable pedagogical resource for all students of media and cultural studies. — Frank Chorba, Founding Editor, Journal of Radio & Audio Media
While radio can have global reach it is as effective at bringing people of a similar locale and culture together. Radio in Small Nations articulates the distinctive way in which broadcasting can articulate a sense of place and people and shows how the same technology can be applied in so many different ways. This is a key contribution to the literature of radio studies, and it sets the context for ways in which we can imagine how a nation speaks unto itself. Tim Wall, Professor of Radio and Popular Music Studies at Birmingham City University, UK and editor of The Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast & Audio Media
