in radio... We are interested in theory and practice, and the relationship between the two. Your essay therefore needs to demonstrate evidence of having read and engaged with a relevant body of academic texts, related to the essay topic of your choice. See, in particular, the sources referred to in the week-by-week lists of related reading. Since we are also interested in practice, your essay cannot only analyse and discuss theory. All of the questions will also require a discussion and analysis of media practice - programmes, films, articles etc. In other words, you MUST provide relevant examples to back up your theoretical arguments! You should use original examples rather than just discussing examples that have been used in the lectures. So make sure you read the questions, and the instructions given for each, in detail. In radio, how is sound used to create pictures in the minds of the listeners? And is the absence of visions a strength rather than a weakness? To answer these questions, please integrate academic thinking on the topic as well as in-depth analysis of one or two examples of radio programming.
