100 Years of Radio in South Africa, Volume 1: South African Radio Stations and Broadcasters Then & Now (2024)
100 Years of Radio in South Africa, Volume 1: South African Radio Stations and Broadcasters Then & Now (2024)
By: Sisanda Nkoala
ISBN: 9783031407017
The book brings together media scholars and practitioners to deliberate on the role and influence of radio broadcasting in South Africa over the past 100 years. The publication will add to the existing body of knowledge on radio in this context by being among one of the few to consider radio broadcasting in South Africa. Essentially, the book will make a distinct contribution by providing the following: a historical account of the development of the sector, an in-depth look at some of the key people and institutions that have shaped the sector, and a critique of the medium’s role in community-building and culture making among others. While the book will provide relevant theoretical frameworks, it also aims to include the voices of media practitioners who can reflect on the importance of this medium from a more realistic perspective. Volume 1 focuses on South African radio stations and broadcasters in the past and present.
