Radio journalism

摘要

The clear devotion of these two British professors to radio news, and by extension the BBC, is felt throughout the 173 pages of Radio journalism, which encompasses the diverse perspectives of the practitioner, the policymaker, the teacher, and the theoretician. Four of Starkey and Crisell's eight chapters draw wholly from the BBC tradition and the rest are informed by it. The book begins with a short history of radio journalism's invention that solely focuses on the contributions of Italian Gugielmo Marconi and Canadian Reginald Fessenden, whom is credited with the first radio broadcast from Brant Rock, Massachusetts on Christmas Eve, 1906.
