National Control

On 1 April 1925 Denmark introduced national control of its hitherto privately run and relatively chaotic radio broadcasting. Denmark would quickly show itself to be one of Europe’s leading nations with regard to both the number of licence-paying listeners and the role of serious music in broadcasting policy. This situation was also reflected very directly in the case of Carl Nielsen. Out of the total of 5,802 performances of his work which the article’s author has been able to document until Nielsen’s death in 1931, 922 (or nearly a sixth) were either produced directly for radio (where in general all music was broadcast live), or broadcast via Danish and foreign radio. Nielsen’s attitude to the new medium was ambivalent from the beginning and gradually cooled. Indeed, the head of the Danish State Radio, kammersanger Emil Holm, was one of his friends, and Nielsen readily accepted when he was asked to conduct his own works at the concerts, which marked milestones in the newly founded Radio Orchestra’s development. He was also a member of the committee that decided in 1926 which type of transmitter the new radio station in Kalundborg would use. But he composed only a few, not especially important new works for radio use, and does not seem to have been clear about what the radio medium meant for his music at a European level. The article presents a series of hitherto unknown documents concerning Carl Nielsen’s relationship to the radio medium, and includes a schematic chart in the appendix offering a detailed overview of which Nielsen works a listener could have heard, and when, on Danish and foreign radio stations up until the composer’s death.

This article is devoted to the 55th anniversary of the beginning of broadcasting radio “Mayak”. Due to a number of circumstances, among which the format of the radio station and the professional staff of its employees played a decisive role, “Mayak”, successfully working and having a large audience in the Soviet period, remained in the post-Soviet period, without losing its importance and weight. Having received in 2000 FM frequency, he was able to compete in the air and became an integral part of the new broadcasting system. The author identifies and analyzes the main innovations that have arisen in the air of this station, subsequently perceived by private commercial radio stations that have appeared in the post-Soviet space. The relevance of the article in determining the role of radio “Mayak” in the development and activities of domestic broadcasting, as well as in increasing the prestige and importance of the work of radio journalists. When writing the article, the author, who worked on the air of “Mayak” for more than ten years, who was both a witness and a participant in a number of innovative projects, used both conversations with veterans of the station and his personal experience, and the empirical method of research of the radio station “Mayak”.

The purpose of the study was to explore how Greek radio stations utilize social media and Facebook in particular, and to look into factors that influence interaction with their audience. Twenty radio stations broadcasting from the two largest cities in Greece were selected according to their radio profile and number of followers. The duration of the study was two weeks, weekends included, with one month time lag between them. Results showed that the type of content seems to influence audience’s participation. Listeners had higher participation when they were reading information with content of their favourite radio broadcasting. Moreover, it was noticed that a specific time of the day might facilitate communication between radio stations and their listeners. Interaction patterns differ in relation to radio profile and radio stations broadcasting location. This paper represents a first attempt to investigate the ways Greek radio stations utilize social media to accomplish higher participation levels. An interaction index was introduced and used in order to better reflect radio station audience interaction. Given the relatively short observation period present these findings should be considered preliminary and exploratory. Longer data collection period combined with alternative social media such as Twitter, can provide a deeper understanding of the topic. Radio stations can utilize the present findings to develop a more effective strategy communication through social media.

Broadcasting Industry

The “golden age” of radio broadcasting in the 1930s and 1940s was dominated by large, national broadcasting networks. The rise of these networks is thought to have been accompanied by a dramatic decline in the number of locally oriented stations in operation in the United States. However, this presumption contradicts the dynamics of concentration and organizational foundings in a variety of other industries. In this article I use comprehensive data on the vital rates of radio station founding, failure, and density to empirically test the popular claims of network dominance in the midcentury U.S. broadcasting industry. The results indicate that locally owned commercial stations were not eliminated by the rise of national broadcasting networks. In fact, concentration in the hands of the networks actually increased the viability of locally owned radio stations.

Comprehensive Study

The article presents the results of an intermediate stage of a comprehensive study of information radio broadcasting. Using a content analysis, the authors study the morning broadcast of all-news radio stations Business FM, Vesti FM and Kommersant FM in the period of May 14–20, 2018. The criteria for the analysis include genre and theme preferences, time-line, expressive means, the structure of information sessions, formats and forms of the news programs, the work of radio hosts and reporters, and others. According to the results of the research, Business FM and Kommersant FM broadcast informational programs rather than analytical ones, while Vesti FM includes long live analytical talk-programs in its running order, which dilutes the informational format of the radio station. The programs of the informational genre are mainly informational message, press review, and mail review. The state radio station Vesti FM still broadcasts radio reports, while the two independent radio stations have stopped using them in favor of the so-called «package». Vesti FM focuses mostly on issues of international politics and social problems, whereas the commercial stations Business FM and Kommersant FM prefer mainly internal and international politics and economic problems. All the three-radio stations do not fully use the expressive means of radio; the key ones are the voice and underscoring.

Different Levels

University radio broadcasting, whose first examples in Turkey date back to the 1940s, made its main leap forward with the emergence of private radio broadcasting in the early 1990s and the increase in the number of communication and broadcasting schools at different levels. Largely unable to exist legally except for a few exceptions, university radio stations have had to deal with many problems from the first examples until today. In this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with the representatives and employees of university radio stations affiliated with 34 universities in Turkey. We found that the lack of a legal basis for university radio stations causes various problems in practice. The most important of these problems include the following: first, the practices of frequency allocation and usage fees by relevant authorities are not conducted in compliance with certain standards. Financial return models are rigid and limited; the production efficiency of a radio station is interrupted when university financial support or station management is irregular or insufficient, as well. As a result, employees experience a loss of motivation in the management and content production stages.

Communicative Space

The focus of the article is on the problem of the media influence of one of the hybrid forms of modern communication - convergent radio broadcasting on the Internet. The article considers the social network version of convergent radio broadcasting through popular Internet accounts. It is in this communicative space that the active and creative nature of the role of the addressee is manifested. The addressee constructs discourse in interactive communication when discussing topics (editorial posts) journalists initiate. The focus of the study is on the materials of three interactive sessions of the radio stations Echo of Moscow and Radio Mayak, which organized a discussion of news and journalistic texts. The methodology of the material analysis takes into account the institutional and personal aspects of the discursive practice of convergent radio. In the terms of the discursive approach, the article reveals the role of the contexts of the analog radio source (its format concept) and social network communication, which structure communication with the idea of the channel's value attitudes, its style and thematic preferences. If the context of the analogue source orients the user to certain conventions of dialogue and adherence to the norms of interpersonal communication, then the context of network communication is characterized by an attitude towards attracting a loyal audience and the mass nature of communication. At the intersection of these contexts, the mechanisms of the discursive effects of convergent radio are manifested in the organization of communication within stereotypical models of communicative behavior - in the actualization of users' typical reactions necessary for discourse for its self-reproduction. The manifestation of these reactions is considered based on the method of qualitative discourse analysis in the version proposed by Z. Yeager. The analysis of the material shows that discursive influence is manifested in the compulsion to mass character realized through the mechanisms of phatic control of communication embedded in the initiating text. Discourse creates strategic communication gaps in which users implement entertaining and socializing intentions. The choice for the analysis of texts of different genres demonstrated the commonality of the mechanism of influence: the phatic plan of texts of different genres implements the mode of infotainment - the entertaining and recreational activity of communicants who construct a spontaneous image of the world and emotionally experience it.

Abstrak:Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui partisipasi stasiun radio dalam menyiarkan konten pendidikan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama 4 bulan. Pada tanggal 17 Maret sampai 30 Juni 2014 di Yogyakarta, Jawa Tengah, Kalimantan Timur dan Papua. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survey dan teknik dokumen terhadap 19 radio mitra yang peduli dalam siaran pendidikan. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah stasiun radio mitra yang berjumlah 52, sampel 19 stasiun radio mitra yang aktif menyiarkan konten pendidikan yang dikembangkan oleh Balai Pengembangan Media Radio Pendidikan (BPMRP). Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa partisipasi 19 radio mitra dalam menyiarkan konten pendidikan masih tergolong partisipasi rendah (nonparticipation) yaitu dikatakan sebagai bukan peran serta, masyarakat atau radio hanya dijadikan sebagai obyek suatu kegiatan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut dalam mengembangkan konten siar pendidikan diharapkan lebih mengutamakan penggunaan kata-kata yang umum dan lazim dipakai, tidak melanggar kesopanan, mengesankan, pengulangan kata-kata yang penting dan susunan kalimat yang logis.Kata kunci: partisipasi, radio pendidikan, penyiaran radio Abstract:The purpose of this research is to determine the participation of radio station to broadcast educational content. This research had been conducted in four months. Started on March 17 until June 30, 2014 and it was located in Yogyakarta (Central Java), East Kalimantan and Papua. Survey and documentary methods from 19 radio partners in educational programs were used for this research. The population of this research were 52 radio stations where 19 of those samples are still active to broadcast educational content developed by Provincial Development Unit for Educational Radio (Balai Pengembangan Media Radio Pendidikan/ BPMRP).The results reveals that the participation of 19 partner stations in broadcasting educational content are still relatively low (nonparticipation). In other words, the participation is only limited to an object of program or an activity, not as an active participation in broadcasting the educational content. To overcome such problem in developing educational broadcasting content, it is expected to prioritize the use of common words that do not violate decency and portraying more impression, especially for repetition of the important words logical sentences.Key words: participation, educational radio, radio broadcasting

Peace And Development

This study aims to identify the role of United Nations Radio Stations (represented by Maraya Radio in South Sudan) in promoting the culture of peace and development, and to know if this broadcast service contributes to promoting awareness of such concepts. The study uses appropriate descriptive methodology to measure and analyze the characteristics of media content which are related to these concepts. In addition to that, it examines the effect of these concepts on the audience of such a broadcasting service. This is a descriptive study in which the researchers analyzed the content of the programs related to the concepts of peace and development presented by Maraya Radio. The researchers also distributed a questionnaire to the audience of this radio station in South Sudan to know how they are affected by the programs offered at this station. The study examined three programs of Maraya and analyzed them using artificial week method. The findings show that the topics on peace occupied the first position among all topics covered by Maraya with a percentage of (38.5%). The topics on peace also came first in terms of the time allocated for such programs with a percentage of (49%). The content on the theme of “life without conflict” came first among all the content themes broadcasted by Maraya with a percentage of (20.1%), whereas the content related to the theme of ‘enhancing women’s image in society’ came second with a percentage of (15%), followed by the content on the theme ‘encourage to learn’ with a percentage of (11.8%).

The Impact

In the unfolding of a catastrophic incident, also known as extreme event (EE), resilient information infrastructures (RIIs) have the capacity to continue providing actionable information, which is a time-critical resource of greatest value. Despite the recognized importance of RIIs, however, their role in providing actionable information under the conditions of an EE has not been empirically studied and assessed. This study analyzes the case of a local radio station (Radio Fukushima), which resourcefully and rapidly adopted social media as a new II to switch from routine commercial radio broadcasting to disaster information broadcasting during and in the aftermath of the 2011 Japan EE. This theory-building study illustrates the critical role of RIIs and further builds theory that helps explain the impact of disturbances to an existing information infrastructure. It also develops a better understanding of the contribution and importance of social media-based near-real time co-production of actionable information in an unfolding catastrophe.

Religious Radio

In the Declaration of the Committee of Ministers on the role of community media in promoting social cohesion and intercultural dialogue passed on 11 February 2009 by the Council of Europe, stations run by religious institutions were explicitly excluded from the community media definition, as being too dependent on the Church. But the reality seems to be far from this definition. In practice, in many countries the religious radio stations officially belong to—or even dominate—this sector. In 2011 a new period began for community broadcasting in Hungary. While most of the former community media broadcasters could not find resources with which to operate, the community media landscape was dramatically overwhelmed by religious broadcasters both on regional and local levels. The legally-recognised third tier of broadcasting in Poland called ‘social broadcasting’ is actively and exclusively used by religious radio—seven stations broadcast locally and one is a powerful nationwide radio station called Radio Maryja. The authors gathered information and points of views from radio experts, organizations and activists living and working in different EU and non-EU states about the place of religious broadcasting in the community media sector. Two case-studies (Hungary and Poland) may be of interest for countries considering the introduction or reorganisation of regulations regarding community broadcasting.
