Description
Book SynopsisIn a post 9/11 world where a few ruthless men and women can use modern technology to create powerful webs of conspiracy, the public voice of radio is needed more than ever. Radio brings little known stories of radio's power to life and revives our faith in the medium as a truly modern tool for social change.
Trade ReviewThere is always a danger in a book with a message that enthusiasm may get the better of judgment. But this is not the case here...the cases provided [in Radio] are carefully documented…[and] extensive citing of scripts help[s] readers appreciate the kind of content that has driven successful radio applications. -- Emile McAnany, Santa Clara University * Communication Research Trends *
Stephen Sposato and Bill Smith make a compelling case...for the use of radio, a powerful and comparatively inexpensive tool, in programs aimed at the world's poor. Beyond that, in writing this book, the authors provide students and professionals alike with a valuable history and a practical guide to using this valuable technology in health and development programs. -- From the introduction by Muhiuddin Haider, George Washington University
