Book: Digital Innovations and the Production of Local Content in Community Radio

Published in 2021 in the Routledge Disruptions series, edited by Bob Franklin. Available here and from other book sellers.

In this book, I examine the use of digital technologies in UK community radio and consider how they affect the creation of local content. I argue that traditional aspects of programme production, including the interpersonal and social relationships involved, continue to be of vital importance.
