E-book Gender and Media in the Broadcast Age : Women’s Radio Programming at the BBC, CBC, and ABC
The research for this book started by tracing the rise and fall of a set of programs aimed specifically at women audiences in the early years of public service broadcasting in Australia, Canada, and the UK. In doing so, I uncovered compelling narratives of working lives of the women who produced and spoke on the programs. The individual personalities and collective imagination of these women emerged in the details of their daily interactions with radio as well as their negotiations with management—the latter a force sometimes sympathetic, sometimes hostile to their ideas and innovations.While I acknowledge and draw on the recent “biographical” turn in media history (Hendy 2012; Murphy 2016), this work investigates broadcasting history from the perspective of a “cultural circuit” that goes beyond individual life stories to look for connections between media production, consumption, distribution, circulation, and identification (Johnson 1986: 47).
