More flexible than ever, MODERN RADIO AND AUDIO PRODUCTION: PROGRAMMING AND PERFORMANCE, 10e delivers comprehensive, cutting-edge coverage that enables instructors to choose whether they focus on audio, radio, or a combination of both. Completely up to date, the text features new material on the latest trends and technologies along with explanations of traditional equipment and practices. The authors' clear writing style, excellent descriptions and explanations, and attention to detail make the text extremely student friendly. In addition to new examples, illustrations, and photos throughout, the text's three all-new chapters focus on writing, ethics, and mobile radio. Offering coverage that is both comprehensive and thorough, the Tenth Edition is organized into five parts: Audio Fundamentals, Radio Fundamentals, Aural Communication, Specialized Production, and the Business of Radio. With an updated two color interior text, the text's comprehensive coverage and flexible organization enable instructors to easily pick and choose chapters and sections to focus on radio or to emphasize audio or to combine the two. Most references to and illustrations of legacy media are now included in a condensed appendix. Completely up to date, the Tenth Edition reflects the latest research and practices from the field. It has been thoroughly updated throughout and includes new examples, illustrations, and photos. An all-new Chapter 11: Writing for the Ear accommodates instructors who use a heavy writing component in their classes. It also makes Part III a more rounded module to help professors who want to focus primarily on writing. An all-new Chapter 20: Ethics and the Communication Professional is packed with examples of ethical decision-making-a must for someone entering a career in which ethical transgressions can be magnified by technology. Students are enabled to think step by step through ethical situations before they ever have to face them on the job. An all-new Chapter 18: Mobile Radio and the Battle for the Dashboard brings the text to the border of the new frontier of radio-the digitally controlled car dashboard. Integrating up-to-date explanations of current technologies, MODERN RADIO AND AUDIO PRODUCTION: PROGRAMMING AND PERFORMANCE maintains the central theme that radio is primarily about communicating a message and is secondarily about hardware. The text's historical perspective illustrates how technologies have changed radio in the past and explains what that might mean for our future.
