Music Documentaries for Radio
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-22621-3 (ISBN)
Drawing on both academic research and real world practice, this book offers an in-depth investigation into the production of music documentaries broadcast on radio.
Music Documentaries for Radio provides a thorough overview of how the genre has developed technically and editorially alongside a discussion of the practical production processes involved. Digital production equipment and online tools used in music documentary production are discussed in detail, outlining how the development of these technologies shapes the output of producers operating in both the public service and the commercial sectors of the industry. Drawing on his own experiences as an award-winning music documentary producer, the author also looks at how the industry views this form of radio documentary and considers how innovation and technical advances, as well as governmental regulation, have shaped the field. The book demonstrates how changing practices and technical innovations have led to the emergence of multi-skilled, freelance radio producers and how previously separate production roles have merged into one convergent, multifaceted position.
Music Documentaries for Radio is an ideal resource for students and academics in the fields of radio studies, media production, documentary-making, and journalism studies.
Sam Coley teaches audio production at Birmingham City University and continues to work as a freelance music documentary producer. He has written about popular music, fandom, and new participatory cultures in radio documentary production. Dr Coley is a Trustee of the Charles Parker Archive Trust and serves as a Grand Jury member for the New York Festivals Radio Awards.
