FANTASI ATAU REALITI: TRANSFORMASI RTM KE ARAH PENYIARAN RADIO DIGITAL

Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti perkembangan transformasi industri radio di Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Kajian yang menggunakan kaedah kualitatif menerusi analisis terhadap dokumen kajian; (1) Pembangunan dan Perkembangan Penyiaran Radio Digital di Malaysia: Satu Kajian Kes di Radio Televisyen Malaysia; dan (2) Analisis Implikasi Perkembangan Industri Radio dari Era Penyiaran Konvensional ke Era Penyiaran Digital: 1996-2016.Transformasi penyiaran radio konvensional global tidak terhasil secara sendiri. Ia terhasil daripada fenomena digitalisasi dan dibentuk oleh senario industri media. Senario industri media mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan ekonomi dan politik sesebuah negara. Setiap perubahan yang berlaku terhadap penyiaran radio dibuat adalah berasaskan kepada dasar dan perancangan sesebuah negara. Perancangan pendigitalan industri radio di Malaysia telah dimulakan seawal tahun 1997 oleh Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Langkah tersebut diambil selaras dengan Dasar Telekomunikasi Negara dan Dasar Pembangunan Nasional. Bagaimanapun, terdapat jurang pendigitalan yang ketara antara badan penyiaran nasional dan swasta. Hasil analisis mendapati bahawa badan penyiaran nasional itu mempunyai visi dan misi yang jelas mengenai pendigitalan radio, namun pelaksanaan kepada perancangan tersebut berhadapan dengan pelbagai kekangan dan cabaran. Ia menjadikan usaha pendigitalan radio free-to-air di Malaysia sebagai sesuatu yang tidak pasti. The objective of this study is to examine the development of radio industry transformation in Radio Televisyen Malaysia. This study uses qualitative methods by analysing research documents; (1) Development of Digital Radio Broadcasting in Malaysia: A Case Study in Radio Television Malaysia; and (2) Implications analysis of Radio Industry Development from the Conventional Era to Digital Era: 1996-2016. The transformation in global conventional radio broadcasting did not happen on its own. It resulted from the digitalisation phenomenon and shaped by the scenario in the media industry. The scenario in the media industry has a significant relationship with the economy and politics of a country. Every change that occurs in radio broadcasting is made based on the policies and plans of a country. In Malaysia, Radio Televisyen Malaysia has started their plan for digitalisation in radio as early as 1997. The action is taken in line with the National Telecommunications Policy and the National Development Policy. However, there is a significant digitalisation gap between national and private broadcasting bodies. The result shows that the national broadcasting body has a clear vision and mission on radio digitalisation; however, its implementation faces various constraints and challenges. It makes the digitalisation of free-to-air radio in Malaysia uncertain.

From the Antenna to the Display Devices: Transformation of the Colombian Radio Industry

Consolidation of the digital environment has become an irreversible global reality and, for the Colombian radio industry, it implies not only assuming a process of transformation in its actions, but, above all, continuous learning. Technological innovation imposes new forms of consumption whose logic corresponds to new systems for the production, distribution and commercialization of information, culture, science and entertainment. Object of study. Adaptation of the radio medium to the digital ecosystem of audiences invites us to focus the attention of researchers on the media’s use of web-radio, app–radio and social media; the relevance of sound semiotics compared to other components of the message on users’ screens; and the alterations suffered by the business model and productive routines of the radio. Methodology. This research took as its focus of study three Colombian radio stations and their informative stations—Caracol Radio, W Radio, Blu Radio, RCN Radio and La FM—through a mixed methodology. Quantitative instruments—numerical data to monitor activities on social platforms—and qualitative instruments—interpretation of messages and visual composition of the message—allow for the monitoring and analyzing of the performance of the radio medium in the digital environment, and the tactical approach of radio agents to delineate the strategies that promote the expansion, positioning and participation of radio in the Colombian media ecosystem. Results. Normalization of connectivity, ubiquity, timelessness and interactivity are, today, inherent values of the content broadcast by the radio industry, which needs to appropriate the tastes and interests of the audience through multi-device, multi-tasking and multi-user devices. Conclusion. Consumption actions of listeners: users are concentrated on the Smartphone screens, which provides a habit of listening and monitoring that forces the media to incorporate the format—and language—of video into their productive dynamics in order to attract and retain the attention of their audiences.

Data dependencies and funding prospects: A 1930s cautionary tale

Misinformation studies relies, to some extent, on access to data from large technology firms, which also seed grants, sponsor events, and support think tanks working in the field. These companies, facing scrutiny from regulators and critics, have a stake in their portrayal. This essay recounts a pair of episodes in early radio research, as a cautionary tale. The Princeton Radio Research Project, the leading U.S. media research program of the 1930s, had multiple ties to the radio industry. The project’s leadership, and its main philanthropic sponsor, were keen to maintain good relations with the networks. A pair of critical researchers, James Rorty and Theodor Adorno, violated the project’s de facto ban on scrutinizing radio’s commercial underpinnings. They were both dismissed. Could ongoing access to data, and the prospect of future funding, lead today’s researchers—and even other, non-corporate patrons—to conclude that certain questions are too incendiary to pose?

A “Fresh New Music Mix” for the 1980s: Broadcasting Multiculturalism on Crossover Radio

This article examines the racial politics of radio programming in the United States by focusing on the development of a new radio format in the late 1980s. This new format, which the radio industry referred to as Crossover, attracted a coalition audience of Black, white, and Latinx listeners by playing up-tempo dance, R&B, and pop music. In so doing, this format challenged the segregated structure of the radio industry, acknowledging the presence and tastes of Latinx audiences and commodifying young multicultural audiences. The success of this format influenced programming on Top 40 radio stations, bringing the sounds of multicultural publics into the US popular music mainstream. Among these sounds was hip hop, which Crossover programmers embraced for its ability to appeal across diverse audiences; these stations helped facilitate the growth of this burgeoning genre. But like many forms of liberal multiculturalism in the 1980s and 1990s, the racial politics of these stations were complex, as they decentered individual minority groups’ interests in the name of colorblindness and inclusion.

Un itinerario nell’opera di Lalla Kezich, con una lettura del romanzo breve La preparazione

A diminutive and a surname, acquired by her husband and well-known film critic Tullio, define the stage name of Lalla Kezich, ‘b-side figure’ in the Italian literary panorama of the Twentieth Century. This contribution aims to present some notes about her work and its reception, providing a preliminary reading of the short novel that made her enter – and partially affirm – in the Italian publishing market, to which she had already appeared since 1972, after some years spent working in cinema and radio industry. The last paragraph of this essay is dedicated to literary prizes she attended between 1978 and 1985.

Communicative Strategies of Professional Development of a TV and Radio Journalist: Psychotypology and Social Model

The whole world undergoes significant changes in communication, television and radio. Therefore, journalism education also alters. Television companies and radio stations hire former students, who already perceive the development of modern media in a different way, and thus try to communicate differently and influence large audiences. It is applied to all societies and countries developing their own media and caring about the future of television and radio industry. Such a new complex problem on communication via television and radio is caused primarily by the changes of information technology and communicative strategies in the field of media, online educational techniques in world schools of journalism, and is now being discussed by theorists and practitioners of journalism on various media platforms or global forums. The purpose of the article, that is based on the long-term research of scientists at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, is to set and prove the hypothesis about the future of television and radio broadcasting, in particular, those who will come to work on television or are already working, combining studying with practical activity. Within the period of 2012-2019 the authors of the article interviewed 760 students of the Institute of Journalism, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, on the basis of their statements about the choice of specialization, and collected the data on their attitude to modern media, including television and radio. As a result of the research, the authors have developed the psychotypology of students who will work for television and radio companies in Ukraine, and form the public opinion on social, sociocultural and political processes in the country. Consequently, this psychotypology (classics, jazzmen, rockers and conformists) can be used in schools of journalism in other countries as a technological approach to model the matrices of the educational process for training the TV and radio journalists.
