Radio Broadcasting Journalism in India

From wire service machines spewing miles of paper to hi-tech computers and ISDN circuits-we have come a long way in radio broadcasting. Radio was the first electronic communication device that could directly connect with people at almost any time and in almost any location. Radio is an indicator technology at a philosophical level as well as a technical one. Here we have presented many issues pertaining to radio broadcast journalism. This gives very clear idea about how one should go about telling a story for radio which is unlike television. As an indicator technology, the problems associated with controlling and regulating radio are a likely preview of things to come in the other communication media. On the whole, this book is an introduction to new world of radio journalism-a new and exciting avenue that educates and widens our understanding of the radio industry which is blooming in India now. With the launch of inter-school and university private radio stations, there would be an avalanche of employment opportunities for media professionals.
