Produced in association with the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago, the three-volume Encyclopedia of Radio is the first comprehensive, broadly conceived reference work covering the full spectrum of this nearly century-old medium. International in scope, it spans the history of radio in major countries and regions throughout the world, tracing radio's role in the development of journalism, advertising, entertainment, propaganda, popular music, and much more.
Over 600 alphabetically arranged entries cover programs and people, networks and organizations, regulation and policies, audience research, and radio's evolving technology through the years. Entries include production credits for programs, biographical details for individuals, and suggestions for further reading. Approximately 200 illustrations give visual context to the often unseen world of radio, and a comprehensive index makes the book a useful research tool.
The Encyclopedia is much more than simply an informational work. Each essay provides not only essential facts but also commentary on the significance of the particular person, organization, or topic being examined. Users will gain an overall sense of radio history and will understand the place of each entry's subject within that history. Readers will also discover issues and problems that have helped to define the medium, learning to view radio as an intersection of technological, economic, political, social, and aesthetic factors.
From Arbitron to Zenith, from Fibber McGee to digital audio broadcasting, the Encyclopedia of Radio is the most complete reference work ever compiled on this fascinating medium that continues to shape our culture. It will be the definitive resource on radio for all high school, college, and public libraries.
