During the Cold War, radio broadcasting played an important role in
the ideological confrontation between East and West. As archival
documents gathered in this volume reveal, radio broadcasting was
among the most pressing concerns of contemporary information
agencies. These broadcasts could penetrate the Iron Curtain and
directly address the 'enemy'. Radio was equally important in
keeping sustained levels of support among the home public and the
public of friendly nations. In the early Cold War in particular,
listeners in the West had to be persuaded of the need for higher
defence spending levels and a policy of containment. Later, even if
other media - and in particular television - had become more
important, radio continued to be used widely. The chapters gathered
here investigate both the institutional history of the radio
broadcasting corporations in the East and in the West, and their
relationship with other propaganda agencies of the time. They
examine the 'off-air' politics of radio broadcasting, from the
choice of theme to the selection of speakers, singers and music
pieces. The key issue tackled by contributors is the problem of
measuring the impact of, and qualifying the success of, information
policies and propaganda programmes produced during the Cultural
Cold War. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Cold War History.
