Professor Laurie Taylor on the first edition of Understanding Radio\n\nUnderstanding Radio is a fully revised edition of a key radio textbook. Andrew Crisell explores how radio processes genres such as news, drama and comedy in highly distinctive ways, and how the listener's use of the medium has important implications for audience studies. He explains why the sound medium, even more than television, has played such a crucial role in the development of modern popular culture.\n\nThe book also introduces students to the broadcasting landscape in a time of great change for national and local radio provision.
