Welcome

Radio has played an important role in the linguistic and cultural heritage of all European countries. It continues to be ubiquitous, influential and multi-faceted and must be investigated, analysed and theorised.

Radio as a social institution and as an art will benefit from increased attention being paid to it by the academic sector. The development of a discourse and literature based on research on this medium will profit all parties who have an interest in radio.

The Radio Research Section of ECREA fosters and promotes research into all aspects of radio from programming and production to policy and legislation, from audience consumption to public participation and radio’s contribution to the public sphere.
