"This is not another turgid guide to digital editing, writing for
radio and the structure of a newsroom team. It is an ambitious and
accessible study that combines a succinct narrative history of
radio journalism with an analysis of its power in the public
sphere. It describes the development of British audio broadcasting
before locating it in an international context and contemplating
the contours of the convergent future. Such ambition is often the
prelude to failure. Instead, Starkey and Crisell have written a
precious introduction to the theory, practice and purposes of radio
journalism that will be very useful to serious students of the
subject... This is a very good book." - THE (Times Higher
Education) Radio Journalism introduduces key themes in journalism
studies to explore what makes radio reporting distinctive and lay
out the claims for radio's critical importance in the news
landscape. With their extensive experience in radio production and
academica, authors Guy Starkey and Andrew Crisell take readers on a
tour through the past, present and future of radio broadcasting,
from the infancy of the BBC in the 1920s up to the prospect of
rolling news delivered to mobile telephones. Grounding each chapter
in a survey of scholarly writing on the radio, they explore the
connections between politics, policy and practice, inviting
critical reflection on who radio professionals are, what they do
and why. Putting theory and practice into dialogue, this book is
the perfect bridge between unreflective production manuals and
generalised media theory texts. Witty and engaging, Radio
Journalism provides an essential framework for understanding the
continuing relevance of radio journalism as a profession, set of
practices and arena for critical debate.
