Radio Analysis

News stories allow people to obtain information locally or worldwide. Things occur on the other side of the world have a cause-effect effect. To the other side of the world. For example, When the US army was in Iraq and the empire state building was blown up in New York City. There are many more examples of this effect. Currently there are very important stories in the news tha are very informative such as What it takes to rebuild iraq, Trump blasts “rigged” rules on picking republican delegates,The Paradox of Being a Black, Christian, Social-Justice Advocate, Texas Teacher Caught on Video Slapping Student and Calling Him ‘Idiot Ass’ Arrested: Report.

Secondly, Postman’s talks about irrelevant “News”. Stories that aren’t apart of the news all. stories only chosen to generate audience. As I was watching the news they talked about cats being abuse, and last minute valentines’ gifts, and that student are now allowed to drink water on school buses, and also an oyster feasible. Thing that don’t have nothing to do with what actually matters in the world. And it is these kinds of stories being told that has reduced our ability to take the world seriously.

Every news broadcast begins with music and progresses, just like any narrative. There are characters, a setting, rising actions,a climax and a resolution. These

With advancements there was headphones, so one could listen alone (1). Before the owner could tune into the radio they had to string a one-hundred-foot string outside to pick up the signals (1). Radio sales boomed, by 1923 there were around sixty million dollars in sales and by 1929 the sales skyrocketed to a bold eight hundred and forty-two million dollars. Owners could tune into radio programs such as; theater, sporting events, symphony, jazz and religion. Stations had people talking and hosting “radio shows” that created radio personalities like Vaughn DeLeath one of the first bold women to have a “show” (1).

Augie Fleras and John Lock Kunz further the argument, pointing out that what appears as mainstream and unbiased is, in actuality, socially constructed. Fleras and Kunz point out that news items (i.e. the events or issues that are covered) are chosen by personnel (such as editors) on the basis of personal, institutional, corporate, and commercial priorities. 7 In other words, the news media is market driven. The mainstream news media, therefore, are not merely

The Impact of Broadcasting Radio broadcasting dramatically changed the 1920s. The invention of the radio is revolutionary. The radio allows sports, news, advertisements, music, and religious services to broadcast in real-time. People can get news the moment it happens. Sports like, baseball are broadcasted in real-time.

During The Roaring ´20s, many things became popular that were so important to the U.S., they are still used used frequently today. One of those things was the radio. Radios were actually invented around the year 1900, when Reginald Fessenden first spoke in a weak transmission through airwaves. Radios began to take off gradually after that, and according to http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ug00/3on1/radioshow/1920radio.htm ¨between 1923-1930, 60% of Americans had purchased a radio¨ When radios became more popular, they also generated a lot of revenue- by the 1930s, an hour of premium broadcasting time costed advertisers about $10,000. Thats is roughly $137,514.53 today! Radios also provided a source of cheap entertainment for families across the U.S.. Once a family had a radio installed and it was fully paid for, everything after that was free thanks to all of the advertisements from companies. Radios soon became so popular that soon listening to the radio became a national pastime. Radios were very important to the U.S. because they helped to save lives - on the seas, during bad weather, during battles (WW1 and WW2) and during other emergencies. They also helped to spread news in the U.S. far quicker than before (results of presidential elections, etc.), and finally, they allowed communication

The Radio was introduced to society because of the telegraph and the telephone. These inventions don’t do the same things but their similar branch of technology. “Radio technology began as “wireless telegraphy”. “It all started with the discovery of radio waves, electromagnetic waves that have the capacity to transmit music, speech, pictures and other data invisibly through air.” [Bellis] Majority of technology uses electromagnetic waves to send data information or TV broadcasts. During the 1860’s, Scottish physicist, James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves; and in 1886, German physicist, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz showed how fast the variation of electric current could be placed into space in the form of

First I would like to identify who the film includes on its radio broadcasts. There are essentially two types of people featured on the broadcast: the radio talk show host and his co-commentator and his callers. The first use of radio in the film is that of a radio talk show, hosted by “Slam and Sammy,” that focuses primarily on the Permian Panthers’ football team. Also featured on the show are callers that are most likely from the local community surrounding the support of the Panthers. It is not made clear until halfway through the film at the start of a football game that Slam and Sammy are also the commentators for the football games and that the games are broadcast, most likely on the same radio station. We are made aware of this fact around fifty minutes into the film when we hear, “You’re back with mojo radio. It is Slam and Sammy.” In trying to detect the difference between the announcers, the voice we hear the most seems to be the main host, while the other voice (it is slightly unclear who is Slam and who is Sammy) seems to be more of a color commentator that allows the lead announcer to do most of the talking.

In most households during the 1930s, this was one of the main living room items because of it’s size and importance (Feature Radio in the 1930s).

Newspapers and other forms of news are very vital communication methods in the world today. The goal of news is to sell us their ideas by being biased and talking about how their idea is best. News can give us biased information although, the viewer could do further research on the

The belief that journalism is in decline has triggered major alarms, because society needs an informational environment that is easily available to all citizens such as newspapers. There is a large body of journalist that suggests that if television has taken over from the press as our main source of news this may limit our capacity to learn about public affairs; newspapers are believed to be far more effective than television at conveying detailed information necessary to understand complex and detailed issues. There is also widespread concern that if journalism fails as a profession it will not be able to reach large sections of the community, particularly younger or less educated readers. This may reinforce a growing gap among citizens between the information that they receive.

When it comes to finding about the news of what’s going on in our world, we want details and facts. We want the juice of what’s actually going on. The debate between the efficiency of newspapers and TV news, TV news is a lot more effective.

News is an important piece of information that is often current and unknown and is broadcasted to a mass audience. News is divided into two categories that are hard news and soft news. Hard news is up-to-date information of serious topics and events while soft news deals with human interest. What distinguishes hard news from soft news is that hard news is presented with a serious tone and its main agenda is to inform the public while soft news seeks to entertain the audience. For example, the Westgate incident where a group of Al-shabaab terrorist went on a shooting spree in the uptown mall, executing sixty-seven men, women and children is considered hard news while latest fashion trends and celebrity gossip is soft news.

The science of radios has been around for a long time, with many scientists making contributions. It all started in 1860 James Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves. In 1886, Heinrich Hertz proved that radio waves could be manipulated to form sound. Radio waves were first put to work to make telegraphs, but then Lee DeForest figured out how to amplify waves to make them audible over long distances, effectively inventing the first radio.
