Knowing your enemy (and your friends): Cultures of radio monitoring and surveillance
15 - 16 September 2016, University of York
During this workshop participants explored cross-border radio propaganda and practices of surveillance, and evidence produced by contemporary radio monitoring and audience research. Surviving data concerning audience behaviour needs to be treated with caution: it was created for a particular political purpose. This problem was considered by encouraging an interdisciplinary approach, involving scholars of radio history, auditory cultures, audience reception and geopolitics.
