*Call for Papers: Special issue on Public Service Radio **(**15:1 May 2017)*

*Submission deadline 1 Dec 2016***

Since the beginning of this century, public service broadcast media have 
faced a number of challenges due to the introduction and growth of 
digital platforms, which have combined free-to-air distribution with 
on-demand features, return channels, and options for user feedback and 
involvement – a move from public service broadcasting to public service 
media. This move beyond a transmission model for radio has stimulated 
the development of cross-media and cross-genre content and has 
challenged traditional concepts of radio structures as well as 
production, content, and listening cultures. Nonetheless, universally 
available broadcast radio is still arguably a defining criterion of the 
entire concept of PSB/PSM.

/The Radio Journal/ invites scholarly work exploring and investigating, 
from multiple perspectives, the role and function of radio in the 
PSB/PSM turn, for example:

/• How have national PSB/PSM policies and regulation initiatives 
influenced radio landscapes?/

//

/• To what extent have on-demand features changed production procedures, 
traditional radio genres, and perceptions of radio audiences?/

//

/• What are the consequences of the use of social media in radio 
production, distribution and audience behavior for traditional PSB radio?/

//

/• Will PSB radio still be one of the core services of public service 
media – or what roles and functions may PSB radio serve in 
post-broadcast societies?/

//

*GENERAL SECTION:*

/The Radio Journal/ also invites submission to the general section of 
15:1. The journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media 
across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in 
between.  We define ‘radio’ broadly to include not only traditional 
broadcasting, but any form of creative or factual expression that takes 
place primarily through sound. We place a strong emphasis on publishing 
work that reflects radio’s diversity, from a wide range of national and 
transnational perspectives.
