Key Concepts in Radio Studies by Hugh Chignell

An easy to use guide to radio theory and the relatively new field of Radio Studies, one of the most important growth areas in British and American Media Studies at present.

′This innovative and clearly written handbook does exactly what it claims on the cover, providing students with accessible and authoritative knowledge of the essential topics in Radio Studies.. Chignell writes about radio with an engaging mixture of scholarly detachment and private passion′ - The Radio Journal

′There is a need for a straightforward, wide-ranging, and up-to-date introduction to ways to study radio and other new audio-based media. Hugh Chignell’s new book certainly fits the bill, and admirably takes the reader from initial ideas through to additional readings which explore the core issues in greater depth. It is crisply and engagingly written, draws upon a very good range of scholarship, and provides many useful contemporary examples... Students will find it an essential aid to their studies, and it may even go someway to ensuring that the study of radio is as important in the academy as its visual cousins′ - Viewfinder

′This book is a useful starting point for radio students and staff, packed with citations and pithy comment from the author. It is a rich resource book for academic radio study at all levels′ - Janey Gordon, University of Bedfordshire
