Now there are almost 800 publications, 100TV and 302 FM radio stations, 6 telecommunication companies, tens of news agencies, more than 44 licensed ISPs internet provider companies and several number of production groups are busy to broadcast information, drama serial, films according to the afghan Culture, and also connected the people with each other on national and international level. Afghanistan is a nation of 30 million people, and a majority live in its 37,000 villages. But low literacy rate (38.2%) is the main obstacle in Afghanistan, most of the people who lived in rural area are not educated and they are only have focus on radio and TV broadcasting. So, the main purpose of this study is the rapid growth of media in Afghanistan after the Taliban regime, but most of those have uncertain future. Keywords: Traditional media; New media; Social media; Media law programs and also a huge number of publications, mobile Networks, press clubs, newspaper, magazines, news agencies and internet Introduction were appeared at the field of information and technology.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report 29Th October to 12 Th November 2016 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 29th October to 12 th November 2016 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 56 th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland, and the first during November since back in 2004. We last made the long drive up to the north-west tip of the Scottish mainland in March 2015. Prior to that, there had been six DXpeditions in the Autumn, but all earlier, in October. So we would benefit from some longer hours of darkness this time. This was Dave’s 21 st DXpedition to this tiny crofting settlement, and Alan’s 13 th , so we knew what to expect there by now! Whatever the conditions threw up, both weather-wise and propagation-wise, the wild landscape and peace and solitude in Sheigra always make the long journey worthwhile! For the third time, our DX base would be Murdo’s traditional crofting cottage, whose location makes it ideal to put up Beverage aerials targeting the Americas and the Far East – see list of aerials below. We arrived early afternoon on Saturday 29 th October, after an overnight stop in Perth, and took advantage of the calm, cloudy but dry weather to put up two aerials before dark: the 260 degree Beverage which runs to the west, ending very close to the rocky coast, and the 160/340 degree wire, running slightly west of north, up the hill behind the cottage. The 260 degree wire we would terminate the next day with a copper earthing rod; the 160/340 degree aerial would be our UK/Africa aerial when unterminated, or our 340 degree Alaskan aerial when terminated.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

  • RMRC-AKTUELL 1/2014 Editorial Redaktion: Harald Gabler
    RMRC-AKTUELL 1/2014 Editorial Redaktion: Harald Gabler 1 RMRC-AKTUELL 1/2014 Editorial Redaktion: Harald Gabler Hallo Freunde, Im Neuen Jahr 2014 wird alles besser. Es fängt ja schon gut an. Die Fa. Bonito hat uns wieder einen Werbeautrag erteilt, den wir im RMRC Aktuell gern ausführen. Markus Weidner machte und aufmerksam darauf, daß WRN das Hosting des Podcasts der DX-Sendung „World of Radio“ von Glenn Hauser eingestellt hat und es eine gute Idee wäre, wenn der RMRC das übernähme. Eine renomiertere DX-Sendung existiert nicht mehr. Und der RMRC hat es übernommen. Sofort. Webmaster Lutz hat sich umgehend dran gemacht auf unserer Homepage den Podcast World of Radio anzubieten. Glenn Hauser war hocherfreut über unsere Initiative und seit Donnerstag den 16.1.2014 bietet der Rhein-Main-Radio-Club mit Genehmigung von Glenn für jeden Interessenten neben dem eigenen Medienmagazin den Podcast von World of Radio an. Herzlichen Dank an Markus für die Idee, Lutz für die Realisation und Robert für die korrekte Übersetzung der Korrespondenz. Für das Jahr 2014 sind wieder zwei DX-Camps in der Hütte auf dem Hoherodskopf geplant. Das Frühjahrscamp ist vom 13.5.-19.5.2014 vorgesehen und das Herbstcamp wird vom 13.10.-20.10.2014 stattfinden. Das neue Jahr bringt auch einige Änderungen für den RMRC. Nachdem der Mitgliedsbeitrag viele Jahren unverändert geblieben war, wird er, wie in der Mitgliederversammlung 2013 beschlossen, ab 2014 den steigenden Preisen angepaßt und beträgt mit Bezug des RMRC- Aktuell online 25 € und gedruckt 30 €. Am Rande erwähnt sei noch, daß auch der Kurier online beziehbar ist und die Preise auch bei der ADDX angepaßt wurden: online 25 €, gedruckt 45 €.
