Radio, Television and Modern Life

* This text -- through its use of case studies and thematised treatment -- offers a more imaginative approach to the study of the historical development of broadcasting than any other available source.
* An introductory chapter helps orient the reader and provides a helpful framework in the form of a literature survey and overview of arguments about broadcasting. This helps to place Paddy Scannell's approach and perspective against that of other writers.
* This book fills a gap in the market. There are currently few, if any good books, which bring together material on radio and television.
