Global Radio: From Shortwave to Streaming chronicles the
development of radio as a global medium. In this book, Shaheed Nick
Mohammed examines the evolution of radio from its early uses as
little more than a novelty into a set of powerful systems for
international exchanges of news, culture, and political influence.
In doing so, the book follows the development of radio as a
wireless form of the telegraph, its evolution into a medium for
sound transmission across the air, and its adaptation to digital
networked audio and transmissions technologies. Mohamed also
outlines the myriad changes in the radio industry in numerous
contexts around the globe and over time, including the early
development of commercial and non-commercial broadcasting in the
United States, Europe, India, and China and the evolution of
so-called “international broadcasters.” As radio played a part
in colonial politics, it also figured prominently in the politics
of the post-colonial. Within the broader context of global radio,
this book examines several former colonies and the transformation
of radio from a tool of empire into an instrument of national
development. It also focuses on instances in which developing
nations have used radio to bridge the gap between rural audiences
and digital networked technologies, connecting them to the global
information superstructure. Scholars of media studies,
communication, radio studies, international relations, and
political science will find this book particularly useful.
