Recenzii
[VanCour] presents a detailed, well-researched text on how radio production began and developed into a media format... Included with detailed examples are the ways engineers, writers, on-air talent, and others played important roles in how radio began structuring programming into schedules and genres, the effect of sound and speech on listeners, and radio's eventual success... Highly recommended.
Of all important sound media, none has been so neglected as radio especially early radio. That's why Making Radio is so welcome. Based on rarely consulted archival materials, Shawn VanCour's study opens important new territory.
With its innovative focus on creative labor, this book opens up the origins of the very sound of radio itself to historical scrutiny as never before. Adroitly blending production studies and aesthetics with meticulous archival research, VanCour explains the emergence of foundational norms in American broadcasting at a variety of scales, and in several enduring formats. Making Radio is a crucial book, and it will anchor serious works of radio history -- and studies of mediamaking more broadly -- for many years to come.
This compelling new study by Shawn VanCour adds substantially to our understanding of how radio came to sound the way it did, detailing how sound engineers, studio managers, technicians, and performers negotiated technological, regulatory, and taste cultures to produce what listeners across media now recognize as modern, professionalized, and commercial sound.
