Celebrating a Hundred Years of Radio (PDF Copy of Call)
Call for Papers – Journal of Radio & Audio Media Symposium | Editor: Anne F. MacLennan
Deadline: March 1, 2020
To celebrate a hundred years of radio broadcasting, the Journal of Radio & Audio Media will be publishing a special symposium issue on the last century of radio. The century has been marked by technological, social, cultural, political, and regulatory change. Internationally, radio has assumed commercial, public, local, and a mixture of frameworks. Terrestrial and digital radio now compete for listeners’ ears. Radio has been instrumental in the development of cultural identities across the globe, and it has functioned as a key mode of cultural representation.
It would be wonderful to receive manuscripts representing every decade, a variety of experiences or communities, technological change, and every decade.
