Radio

Within the field of media studies, radio often receives less attention compared to other media like television and the Internet, along with its various applications. Even the press, despite its diminishing influence, still captures more focus. Radio, with its extensive reach and evolving forms via the Internet, tends to be viewed as a secondary medium. It accompanies daily activities yet is often seen as less critical than television. However, the transformations radio undergoes make it a subject of great interest. This monograph, while rooted in the social and human sciences, adopts an interdisciplinary approach. It incorporates terminology, concepts, and methods from sociology, media and cultural studies, and anthropology. The book features diverse papers that delve into content analysis, the structure of radio programs, and their functionality, actions, and audience perception. These contributions are valuable, offering opportunities for international experience exchange and enriching the discussion on radio practices.
