The book brings together media scholars and practitioners to
deliberate on the role and influence of radio broadcasting in South
Africa over the past 100 years. The publication will add to the
existing body of knowledge on radio in this context by being among
one of the few to consider radio broadcasting in South Africa.
Essentially, the book will make a distinct contribution by
providing the following: a historical account of the development of
the sector, an in-depth look at some of the key people and
institutions that have shaped the sector, and a critique of the
medium’s role in community-building and culture making among
others. While the book will provide relevant theoretical
frameworks, it also aims to include the voices of media
practitioners who can reflect on the importance of this medium from
a more realistic perspective. Volume 1 focuses on South African
radio stations and broadcasters in the past and present.Â
