The article discusses the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) efforts to address Radio Scotland's low output and lack of local news coverage in large cities. It suggests conducting in-depth interviews with journalists working for BBC Radio Scotland opt-out stations to clarify the strengths and shortcomings of the Scottish local public service radio model, especially as BBC local and regional radio faces significant cuts and changes.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed journalistic practices and media roles in France and Germany. Analysis: As part of the Journalistic Role Performanc Project (JRP), 9,438 articl s published in France and Germany in 2020 were analyzed to determine trends in journalistic sources and the presence of six professional roles (watchdog, loyal facilitator, interventionist disseminator, service, infotainment, and civic) in n ws coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions and implications: Professional roles in French and German media production ar similar despit the countries having distinct media systems. However, notable differences exist in terms of journalistic practices. German media are characterized by the use of sources to justify institutional decisions. In contrast, French journalistic content is less politicized with a focus on "health" soures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A focus on political consensus in the United States in the early 1950s has created a false sense of a period of national unity and of the press in that period as a trusted institution. This article uses listener hate mail to radio reporters during a divisive moment—President Harry Truman's removal of General Douglas MacArthur from his command in the Korean War in April 1951—to identify a politically rancorous discourse, aimed at the press. This period of high emotion for Americans provides a case study in audience members' sometimes hostile relationship with journalists and does so at an early moment in the creation of a truly mass national news audience. I analyze hundreds of unpublished, archival letters, from a time when public opinion polling was relatively new and still problematic, to rethink what our baseline measurement is for media trust and better contextualize claims about its trajectory. I find three tropes that are especially resonant in the present day and became more visible parts of the public discourse with the presidency of Donald Trump: anti-press attitudes, isolationism, and antisemitism.

Por Elas e Para Elas is a radio program that addresses various issues related to women. The objective is to reflect on women's agendas, such as violence against women, representation, sexual rights, and much more, bringing discussions from a cultural, social, historical, legal and psychological point of view. We decided to give a special focus to domestic violence, in which we focused on presenting the problem of women who are sexually abused by their own husbands. Marital rape is a crime that occurs in a subtle way in the environment of marital relations, in which the woman's right is violated. Thus, in this first program, we seek to conceptualize what marital rape is, to highlight its severity, consequences and to show how this crime is seen by the legal sphere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is dedicated to Professor Vsevolod Nikolaevich Ruzhnikov, Doctor of Philology, whose name is associated with the very first scientific studies of the phenomenon of radio, radiotelegraphy and radiotelephony. The purpose of the author is to recall that Professor Ruzhnikov is the founder of the national scientific school of radio journalism: he comprehended and systematically presented (in the format of textbooks and monographs) the history of radio broadcasting and radio journalism, presented the genre palette of radio programs, studied the functions and principles of radio organizations. He is a co-organizer of the country’s first university department of radio broadcasting and television of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University (now it is called the Department of Television and Radio Broadcasting). The contribution of Vsevolod Nikolaevich Ruzhnikov to editorial and publishing activities is significant; the features of his editing of scientific texts require a separate study. The author of the article, in the past a postgraduate student of the professor, and now the scientific editor of the annual Ruzhnikov Readings at Moscow State University, refers to unstudied materials that are not known to modern media students and young scientists, radio journalists. The facts of the biography of Professor Ruzhnikov reflect the personality of a teacher and a citizen - a bearer of high moral values. The article uses the methods of retrospection, observation and in-depth interviews.

The article draws on the concepts of "felt needs" and "politics of listening" widely used in community development and applies them more broadly to the humanitarian crisis suffered by internally displaced persons in Burkina Faso. It investigates the two-way communication stream between radio journalists and listeners drawing on feedback collected remotely from 153 representatives of internally displaced and host communities in Burkina Faso during COVID-19. It argues that while a voice must be given to marginalised communities, it must also be listened to and acted upon. Rather than radio journalism being a loudspeaker for top-down messaging, the study argues that alternative approaches should be adopted in conflict- and pandemic-affected areas. It finds that a balance is needed between the information that listeners feel they need in their new extreme circumstances and the information that radio journalists, drawing on their expertise, feel would be strategically empowering.

For a long time, scientific discoveries were made in separate fields, defined by easily identifiable characteristics. This is how the fan of subjects in which scientists rushed to get closed in order to properly emphasize the identity of their preoccupations become larger and larger. The abstruseness of these entities often led to the rejection of some new fields that were not, in the beginning, considered sciences. This quality was only associated with already known fields such as: philosophy, history, physics, mathematics, astronomy etc. For centuries, researchers' preoccupations which went beyond the known and recognized patterns were accepted with great difficulty and their disciples had to provide deep evidence that the new activities meet the criteria required by true science and are not subsumed by an existing "senior." From the same perspective, it was very difficult to persuade scientists to unite their efforts with those of their peers from other fields in order to light together some study paths that have not been approached before. Although this mentality still continues to exist in the third millennium, a breakthrough in the twentieth century occurred when, as a result of the huge leaps made by human beings in all fields, some approaches, that coagulate the intelligence and experience of scientists in as many different fields of study as possible, were strictly imposed. The appearance and development of information technology, which allowed the generation and functioning of artificial intelligence, could not have been possible without connecting all information the human being possesses and without a collaboration between all subjects.

The article presents the results from a systematic observation of and interviews with journalists who produce local radio news program, BandNews FM, in Rio de Janeiro. The objective is to analyze how the gatewatching process is applied to selecting sources from WhatsApp, and to explore the specific nature of work carried out in radio journalism newsrooms. One of the main features of this broadcaster is the large number of public voices selected from the WhatsApp instant messaging application. The data shows popular voices selected for this paper which fit into a particular theme, it shows the collaborative curation with listeners, and it shows the organizational constraints of investigation, highlighted by journalists sitting behind a desk, absent from the stage of the events. Unlike other media vehicles, radio demands continuous updating and decentralization when selecting material to be broadcast. This study points out characteristics that are demanded of journalists who work in radio and the new, newsroom strategies of involving the public via social networking platforms.

The main attention of the article is focused on the development of an effective methodology for teaching future radio journalists the theory and practice of publicistic broadcasting. The need to introduce new knowledge of the theoretical and practical foundations of radio publicism into the educational process is due to the high demand of the media market for high-quality radio materials of publicistic orientation, as evidenced by the popularity of journalistic programs. Within the framework of the study, a number of problems are, that hinder the introduction and implementation of individual courses in radio publicism in educational practice are considered. In particular, these ones are the lack of an up-to-date and accurate scientific definition of the concept of "radio publicism"; obsolescence of the existing format-genre structure of publicistic broadcasting; a low level of exchange of practical experience between student radio editions producing publicistic programs; lack of clearly defined competencies that a student must have for the production of publicistic programs. The article develops a systematic scientific definition of the concept of “radio publicism”, identifies the main criteria that allow defining programs as publicistic. The actual genre-format structure of publicistic radio broadcasting is represented. The main forms and genres of radio publicism dominant in the XXI century are studied. The practice of production of publicistic radio programs created by student editions of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov (MGU) and St. Petersburg State University (SPbGU) are considered. The basic competencies required by students for the production of publicistic radio content are determined.

This paper presents a discussion of narrative podcasts based on the analysis of Radio Ambulante, a Spanish language radio show created in the United States in 2011. The research aims to demonstrate that the emergence of the narrative podcast is strongly linked to the tradition of National Public Radio (NPR), the American public radio network founded in 1970. The article presents a brief history and examples of NPR radio shows that became fundamental in the development of the podcast’s journalistic tradition. In addition, it highlights the Radio Ambulante project as one of the most representative examples of this tradition in a foreign language. In this essay, two episodes of this podcast are analyzed: “Las Hijas de Maria Señorina” and “Mais Médicos”, productions of 2018 totally or partially dedicated to Brazil that had their audio transcribed in Portuguese.

The significance of radio as a provider of essential news and information in conflict-affected and fragile countries cannot be underestimated nor can its role in contributing to shifts in critical consciousness, changes in behaviour, and raising awareness amongst marginalised groups. This is particularly the case regarding the influence of radio on women's empowerment. In Niger, women suffer from widespread gender inequality with a 75% child marriage rate, low literacy rates, polygamy and gender-based violence. The most important source of information women have is radio. This article illustrates radio's impact on women's rights and empowerment in the world's poorest country. It draws on extensive fieldwork conducted in 2018–19 (workshops, semi-structured interviews and focus groups) and in-depth content analyses of women-related radio output broadcast by Studio Kalangou, a radio studio in Niger, set up in 2016 by the Swiss-based media development agency, Fondation Hirondelle. The article demonstrates how increasing and developing the targeting of radio programmes to include more women-related themes and improving the content will contribute to empowering women politically, economically and within society.

This article analyzes the text of radio journalism built live on the CBN programming in Rio de Janeiro on the night of May 17, after the announcement of JBS audio involving President Michel Temer. The purpose is to conduct a study on the selection and distribution of sources throughout the programming and how the information was constructed in journalism of a substantive nature. The hypothesis is that textual and thematic language, in the case of live radio, does not follow a pattern such as the inverted pyramid, standing or as lying in Web journalism, but in a spiral format changing intensity according to the input of new information. Thus, the possibility of plurality and diversity of voices can happen throughout the programming, without a linear pattern of news construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is principally concerned with how and why these 2 types of radio news developed. It discusses the culture, ethos and practices of the 2 services and, in particular, if and how each was influenced by the other. Much of the article is concerned about how the new commercial stations developed practices and styles that were consciously different from, and in some cases in direct opposition to, those at the BBC, both nationally and locally. The article argues that it was the BBC which adopted and integrated commercial radio's style and practices, rather than, as is often supposed, the other way around. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
