Product Description
The Radio Handbook is a comprehensive guide to radio broadcasting in Britain. Completely rewritten and updated for the second edition, using new examples, case studies and illustrations, it examines the various components that make radio, from music selection to news presentation, and from phone-ins to sports programmes. Fleming explores the extraordinary growth of commercial radio, analyzes the birth of digital audio broadcasting and internet radio and evaluates their effects on the industry. The Radio Handbook shows how communication theory informs everyday broadcasts and encourages a critical approach to radio listening and to radio practice. Addressing issues of regulation, accountability and representation, it offers advice on working in radio and outlines the skills needed for a career in the industry. The Radio Handbook includes: *Interviews with people working at all levels in the industry, including programme controllers, news presenters and DJs *Examples of programming including nationwide and local BBC, commercial radio, community and student stations *Chapters on radio style, the role of news, getting started in radio and the tools of broadcasting *A glossary of key terms and technical concepts

Format:Paperback
The Radio Handbook has my unreserved praise for being a brilliant, helpful and worthy book. Not only is a useful for trainee reporters, but it is also a handy read for professional journalists, offering great tips and tricks to make those radio packages a little more interesting.
It is the best book of its kind on the market - and you can pick up a copy from Amazon for next to nothing. It is very obvious that Carole Fleming - radio and print journalist - knows what she is talking about. She if, after all, a lecturer at Nottingham Trent University - which currently holds the prestigious title of being the best journalism course in the UK.
I know I have already awarded it five stars, but I will also give it a 9/10.
