Matt Holland Hugh Chignal Bournemouth University TALKS AND DOCUMENTARIES A Radio History Symposium Bournemouth University 24th/25th June 1999 (12.00pm Thursday to 12.00pm Friday) The growth of "radio studies" is one of the most important recent developments in the study of the media. At Bournemouth University this trend is seen in the continuing work on a BBC Radio 4 Analysis archive. Other Radio Studies conferences and meetings have tended to focus on radio drama. This event is different in giving priority to "current affairs". This symposium is an opportunity for academics, teachers, producers and archivists to discuss issues arising from the study of radio talks and documentaries in their historical context, and the early days of Analysis. Symposium Themes Speech in current affairs radio Radio audiences Current affairs radio and the political and social agenda Radio features Broadcasting archives (radio and television) Digitising radio Current affairs radio - past, present and future Speakers Both academics and producers will speak. Piers Plowright (the pre-eminent features producer) and James Boyle* (Controller, Radio 4) as well as former Analysis producers will contribute. Academics confirmed so far include: Andrew Crisell (University of Sunderland); Peter Lewis (London School of Economics); John Corner (University of Liverpool); John Ellis and Sean Street (Bournemouth University). As this is a symposium the emphasis will be on discussion, and all sessions will be professionally recorded. Conference Fees Participation Fee 95.00 (111.63 inc.
