Reviews

'There are very few textbooks for media teachers interested in radio, so any new addition to the ranks is very welcome. When they are as good as this one it's time to celebrate.' - Roy Stafford, in the picture, Summer 2000 'Everybody interested in radio should read and enjoy this book and for any teacher taking radio seriously as part of an 'academic' or vocational media course it is an essential purchase.' - Roy Stafford, in the picture, Summer 2000
