This applied text offers a comprehensive introduction to the main principles and techniques involved in producing radio programming, from short packages to magazine programmes, from live sequences to drama, commercials and more. It sets production within a range of different contexts - professional, institutional and historical - providing the underpinning knowledge needed to reflect on radio for academic purposes. Organized around the most commonly-studied radio genres, Radio in Context offers an ideal blend of theory and practical guidance, which is particularly useful when writing evaluations. The book is supported by extensive illustrations, a full glossary, references to further reading, tips on getting into radio and exercises to develop practical and critical skills. It is ideal for anyone studying radio, the media, communications and/or journalism, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as for short courses in radio or audio production techniques.
