Children and the Radio: Who Should Listen to Whom?

ABSTRACT Understanding the expectations, needs, and wants of young audiences, as well as inviting them to incorporate their experiences and perspectives into media production, are crucial tasks for today’s media producers. Drawing upon qualitative research in which more than seventy children eight to thirteen years old participated, this paper illuminates children’s experiences with radio broadcasts and the suggestions they make for improving them. To explore children’s media preferences and experiences, in the spring of 2019 we conducted thirteen focus groups that incorporated creative techniques and stimuli at four elementary schools located in geographically and demographically different areas of the Czech Republic. The research discovered that the radio was a part of children’s complex media experience. In some cases the children linked listening to it with the time they spent with their parents and grandparents. Even though they did not consider the radio their favourite medium, when they were invited to create their own radio programmes and content the children made a number of valuable suggestions for making radio more accessible and relevant to them. We argue that children should be considered as partners and invited to participate in a creative dialogue with media content creators.

Wiersz jako rzecz. Rzecz o poezji Wacława Tkaczuka

Wacław Tkaczuk (1942–2018) was one of the most important commentators on Polish poetry after 1989, which is best exemplified in his radio broadcast series “Poems from newspapers and magazines” (Polish Radio Program 2, 1991–2014). The author of the article introduces Tkaczuk’s poetry (three volumes of poetry, publications in literary magazines), tries to reconstruct the poet’s creative process and, more importantly, his world-view transformations.

Експресивизмите като реторичносредство в публичната реч

The aim of the study is to establish which language units in Bulgarian could be defined as expressive and what is their frequency and function in public speech. The source material for the study was excerpted mainly from national TV and radio programs during the years 2018–2021. The analysis reveals that the most frequent expressive units in the contemporary Bulgarian public language are phrases, metaphors and words of Turkish origin. Their function in public speech is mainly rhetoric, with several examples of poetic meanings resulting in occasional metaphors and creative innovations. The paper concludes with the discussion of the socio-cultural reasons behind the specifics of contemporary Bulgarian expressive units.

Morphological Characteristics of English Football Language

Football is the most popular sport globally. It is considerably modern sport, nevertheless, attracted millions zealous followers. Several media outlets cover activities and events of football world-wide around the clock. The researcher has been attracted and encouraged by follow-up and study of hundreds of native English football texts on specialized sports and football media outlets as newspapers, magazines, T.V and radio programs as well as electronic sites. At the end of the study, the researcher has analyzed these texts linguistically and then classified them according to their morphological categorizations. Football morphological elements surfaced by the researcher include affixation, compounding, clipping, eponymy, and loans (borrowings). At the end of the study, the researcher has provided some related results and recommendations.

Gender-specific psychological and social impact of COVID-19 in Pakistan.

COVID-19 has rapidly spread across the world. Women may be especially vulnerable to depression and anxiety as a result of the pandemic. This study attempted to assess how gender affects risk perceptions, anxiety levels and behavioural responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan, to recommend gender-responsive health policies. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. Participants were asked to complete a sociodemographic data form, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and questions on their risk perceptions, preventive behaviour and information exposure. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effects of factors such as age, gender and household income on anxiety levels. Of the 1391 respondents, 478 were women and 913 were men. Women considered their chances of survival to be relatively lower than men (59% v. 73%). They were also more anxious (62% v. 50%) and more likely to adopt precautionary behaviour, such as avoiding going to the hospital (78% v. 71%), not going to work (72% v. 57%) and using disinfectants (93% v. 86%). Men were more likely to trust friends, family and social media as reliable sources of COVID-19 information, whereas women were more likely to trust doctors. Women experience a disproportionate burden of the psychological and social impact of the pandemic compared with men. Involving doctors in healthcare communication targeting women might prove effective. Social media and radio programmes may be effective in disseminating COVID-19-related information to men.

Iain STEWART, Raymond Aron and Liberal Thought in the Twentieth Century

In 1975 on “Parti Pris”, a French radio program, Raymond Aron explained that he was a liberal since he was anti-revolutionary and anti-totalitarian. I think I am a non-conformist, even if one considers that I have a rather conservative political opinion. In reality, I am essentially an anti-revolutionary […]. What seems to me fundamental is anti-totalitarianism, the anti-revolution, the two more or less linked and all this goes back to my German experience between 1931 and 1933 when I saw th...

What does the title of the radio program lead to? On the question of the communicative function of the title

The title of the radio program is considered in the aspect of its perception by the addressee. The research material is fragments of the hyperradiotext of the program "Equals among the Firsts", including the title, annotation, announcements of the radio program, as well as comments from Internet users and survey data. The research was carried out in the following stages: searching for associations related to the name of the radio program; establishing a connection between the title and the topic of the program; identifying the actualization of the program title in the announcements of specific issues; analyzing the perception of the title of the radio program by the addressee. The author's communicative strategy of naming a radio program is defined in the case when the name does not have an informative function and hinders cognitive forecasting. A technique is proposed that allows the addressee to realize the connection of the title of the radio program with its subject matter. A certain type of title is considered, which serves as an impulse that allows the addressee, using a number of associative actions, to unravel all the meanings laid down by the author and read them.

Hört zu!

Artikelbeginn:[English title and abstract below] Die Mediengeschichte zeigt, dass mit dem Aufkommen neuer Medien immer auch literarische Stoffe von ihnen aufgegriffen wurden, sei es in Form von traditionellen, neu erschienenen oder eigens für sie geschriebenen Texten. In Deutschland trifft diese Feststellung auch auf den Rundfunk zu, der flächendeckend ab 1923 in Form von dezentralen Rundfunkgesellschaften aufgebaut wurde (vgl. Halefeldt 1997), die ab 1924 ein Programm für Kinder und Jugendliche anboten. Hört zu! lautete der an sie gerichtete Aufruf. Listen!Children's and Youth Literature on the Radio during the Weimar Republic and the Era of National Socialism This article presents some results from a research project on German-language children‘s and young people‘s literature in the media network from 1900 to 1945, focussing on radio programmes, from 1924 on, that engaged with this literature. The sources of information about the programmes were radio magazines, which were only published until 1941 due to the constraints of the Second World War. In the initial phase, readings of fairy tales and legends dominated; from the early 1930s on, more and more fairy tale radio plays were produced. Punch and Judy radio plays by Liesel Simon, for instance, were broadcast regularly from 1926. Book recommendations aimed at parents and young people also played an important role as did readings by contemporary authors such as Felix Salten, Lisa Tetzner, Erich Kästner, Irmgard von Faber du Faur and Will Vesper. While the new political and social start with the Weimar Republic in 1918/1919 did not result in a caesura in the market for children’s literature, because authors who had been successful up to that point continued to be published, it did introduce several innovations, for which there was little room after Hitler came to power in 1933.

Between conservatism and modernism in dacwahon radio: A study of Madrasatud Dalīlish Shariciy and Manhajuahlus Sunnah programmes in Ilorin, Nigeria

The exploration of electronic media, among other things, as a veritable tool through which the pristine messages of Islam are conveyed has not gone unrecognisedby contemporary scholars in Nigeria. However, the manner and style adopted by advocates on propagating slam differ and with this difference, the result of the act also differs This work comparatively studied two radio dacwah programmes in Ilorin; Madrasatud-dalīlish-shariciy and Manhajahlus Sunnahwaljamaca, with a view to identifying the impact of each of the two programmes on the masses. Giving the structural survey of selected episodes, the study is descriptive, and comparative in focus; therefore, the researchers adopted a combination of descriptive the comparative research methods. Findings of the work revealed that Manhajahlus Sunnahwaljamaca is largely satirical while Manhajdalilish-Sharica is academic. It is,however, recommended that the focus and locus of any dacwah activity should principally be both mild and academic. This, as a matter of fact, could be actualized by creating an institution that regulates dacwah conducts in every society.

Anti-Colonial Struggles on Air

Indigenous activists globally have used radio broadcast to directly challenge authority within colonial regimes. How has this use of sound by Indigenous activists advanced anti-colonial struggles? I analyze how Indigenous social actors use the medium of broadcast to draw sound into the social practice of anti-colonial struggle. I use two historical examples of anti-colonial radio programming: The Voice of Free Algeria, a program broadcast during the Algerian War for Independence from 1954 to 1962, and Radio Free Alcatraz, a program broadcast during the Indigenous-led occupation of the island of Alcatraz off the coast of California from 1969 to 1971. I find that in both anti-colonial struggles, the broadcasting process disrupted the colonial soundscape in three main ways. First, in recentering Indigenous voices as protagonists, the broadcasts decentered the dominant narrative of colonial powers. This perspectival shift threatened the existing order of non-Indigenous residents as the authorial voice. Second, in circumventing the state to air these two programs, the broadcasters rejected state authority to define and restrict Indigenous voices. Third, in conspiring with non-Indigenous outsiders to air the programs, the practice of broadcasting Indigenous voices contributed to a broader movement-building process. This collaboration involved non-Indigenous and settler actors in anti-colonial struggle. By using a socio-sonic, production-oriented analysis as the framework for understanding Indigenous soundwork, we can better identify related mechanisms across anti-colonial struggles.

The role of acoustics in a radiobroadcasting

Since the acoustic design of radio programs, along with other sound manipulations, takes place on special technical equipment, future radio and television journalists must master new systems. Acoustics is one way to illustrate radio broadcasts to connect with listeners. It plays an important role both on radio and television, as it is a significant factor in the process of semantic transmission. The aim of the research is to determine the role of acoustic design in radio and television broadcasts. The main tasks of the article include the following points: defining the historical and applied role of acoustics in various fields; analysis of current research and views on the role of acoustics in modern media content; describe modern methods of sound recording and digitization; identification of the latest trends in the development of acoustic methods and techniques for the preparation of radio and television broadcasts. The object of the research is the acoustic component in radio and television broadcasting. The relevance of the study is that the properties of acoustics in radio broadcasting are not fully understood. Many foreign scientists have often studied its role in physical spaces. However, the relevance of this study lies in the analysis of the ways to use acoustics in the content and messages in the Kazakh language. The methodology of this article is based on quantitative methods such as content analysis based on works on the nature and role of acoustics in various fields. The results of the study show that processing the sound of radio broadcasts, the absence of echoes in the air, a positive effect on the mood of the audience – all these processes are created through the fruits of multimedia technologies. Thus, the use of acoustics in radio equipment is a continuing trend in traditional journalism. The research results can be applied in applied works on radio and television journalism. Key words: acoustics, interception, editing, sound, microphone, physical process, reverberation

Role of Radio Agricultural Programmes on farmers’ education: A case study of Radio Benue, Makurdi, Benue State.

The study analysed the use of radio programmes on farmers’ education in Benue State. The rationale of the study was to analyse the role of radio in educating farmers using Radio Benue, Makurdi as a case study. The study employed survey as research design, using questionnaire as instrument for data collection. Data were collected from a sample of three hundred and eighty-four respondents through purposive, stratified and simple random sampling technique. Using simple percentages, findings revealed that respondents gained knowledge through listening to the programmes. Farmers (28.4%) gained knowledge of appropriate fertilizer application through the agricultural programmes farming world and Tom Sule (in Tiv) aired by radio, 26.8% of the respondents gained knowledge of agricultural practices, and 25.8% of the farmers gained knowledge on the prevention of post- harvest losses. The study concluded that the radio plays a vital role in creating awareness on agricultural information among farmers. The study recommended amongst others that the government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) should endeavour to introduce grants and farm loans to the farmers through agricultural programmes so as to encourage agricultural activities.

Digital Transformation of Terrestrial Radio: An Analysis of Simulcasted Broadcasts in FM and DAB+ for a Smart and Successful Switchover

The process of digitizing radio is far from over. It is an important interdisciplinary aspect, involving Big Data and AI (Artificial Intelligence) when it comes to classifying and handling content, and an organizational challenge in the Industry 4.0 concept. There exist several methods for delivering audio signals, including terrestrial broadcasting and internet streaming. Among them, the DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting plus) system is one of the leading standards of terrestrial digital radio transmission. Compared with analog FM (frequency modulation) radio, it is more bandwidth efficient and offers greater possibilities when it comes to delivering content and forming an ensemble and multiplex. Currently, many countries worldwide, particularly European States, are still making adjustments in order to perform an efficient switchover from analog FM to digital DAB+ radio. This paper presents the current situation of the digital radio market as well as the results of a subjective quality evaluation study and questionnaire concerning broadcasting in both digital and analog techniques. It involves radio programs, transmitting both speech and music signals, simulcasted in DAB+ and FM standards. It also presents the development of the national multiplex. The results of this study may help both researchers and scientists as well as policy makers and professionals active in the field of broadcasting and electronic media and not to mention the consumption of multimedia content.

Oral History as Creative Practice at Concordia University’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling

Oral history is a field of research that is uniquely positioned to thrive at a time of intense public and scholarly interest in sharing personal stories. Unlike ethnography, oral history has not found an institutional home in North American universities given its often fraught relationship to the history discipline. History is typically grounded in distance—the more the better; whereas oral history is based on the idea of closing distance by learning with the communities we study. Yet oral history is thriving in Canadian universities in the in-between spaces of collaborative cross-disciplinary projects and research centres. After introducing readers to the situation in Canada, the article explores the ways that oral history and storytelling have come together at Concordia University’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS). Oral history is a creative practice, and one of its great strengths is its openness to a diversity of approaches. This can be seen in the range of research-creation projects undertaken by oral historians at Concordia in the classroom and in our communities. Montreal Life Stories was the most ambitious of these projects, recording the life stories of 500 genocide survivors and integrating their stories in a range of public outcomes such as theatre plays, online digital stories, art installations, radio programming, documentary and animated film, and a museum exhibition. The article ends with consideration of the online Living Archives of Rwandan Genocide Exiles and Survivors as well as the new digital tools under development.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The purpose &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;of the research is to understand the system of world Ukrainian-language radio broadcasting in the form of its formation on progress at different historical stages to the present.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The methodological&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; of the research is based on the implementation of the method of archival research of 303 numbers of digitized newspapers of the oldest Ukrainian-language newspaper in the USA «Svoboda» in 1933; the use of the historical method is extended by the method of analogies in time, the inductive method and the monitoring of the content of press publications of the specified period; The use of qualitative content analysis made it possible to analyze the content of 98 materials of various genres on the formation of Ukrainian-language radio broadcasting in the non-national media space of North America.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Results.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; The periodicity, genre component, program plan, content of the first Ukrainian-language radio programs on the air of national radio stations in the USA in 1933 are studied. It has been established that the first programs in Ukrainian heard by North American radio listeners were radio concerts in the form of performances by Ukrainian choirs and orchestras. The documented controversy in modern media in the context of determining the optimal approaches to the development of Ukrainian radio broadcasting in a foreign language environment is analyzed and presented. It is stated that there is no consensus on the ways of formation of radio programs, the choice of content presented on the air, the level of preparation of music groups to work for a wide radio audience. The importance of lively discussion in the society in the context of the quality of the developed radio programs for the progress of the Ukrainian radio business is emphasized.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Novelty.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; The place of Ukrainian radio programs in the national radio space of the USA was first documented and deeply comprehended in 1933; the competitive advantages and vectors of development of such programs in the period of the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;«&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;golden age&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;»&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; of world radio are analyzed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The practical significance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; of the research results lies in supplementing the scientific discourse with the facts of the formation of the world Ukrainian-language radio system in the context of its presentation in the US information space.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key words:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; archival periodicals, media space, national radio broadcasting, radio concert, Ukrainian-language radio broadcasting.&lt;/em&gt;
