  • 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.

  • Serbian Media: Threat to Democracy, Opportunity for Anti-EU Narratives
    Serbian media: Threat to democracy, opportunity for anti-EU narratives April 2021 1 The issue of media freedom was often at the centre of debate about European integration and democracy in Serbia. Both local actors and international observers were quite vocal about the state of media freedom in the country in recent years, but instead of improvements in this area through the process of EU accession, there has been further deterioration and more controversy. Moreover, the state of Serbian media is no longer just a problem for democracy in the country and fulfilment of EU accession requirements, but a genuine threat for the EU’s own reputation and long-term European perspective of Serbia, as anti-EU propaganda and disinformation dominate public space, with influence across the Western Balkans. Media freedom in Serbia has been deteriorating in recent years according to the most relevant international indexes. According to the World Press Freedom Index of Reporters Without Borders, Serbia dropped 39 places on the list since 2014. IREX Media Sustainability Index places the country as the worst in the Western Balkans and only ahead of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan among all former socialist countries, even behind Russia and Belarus. The European Commission’s yearly reports on Serbia assess that no progress has been made in freedom of expression since at least 2015 and numerous EU officials have singled out media freedom as an important issue for the country’s EU accession process. The issue of media freedom became one the most important contention points in Serbian politics as well. Unsatisfied with electoral conditions and especially representation in media, a large part of the Serbian opposition boycotted the 2020 parliamentary elections and is currently advocating for media representation to be improved through the inter-party dialogue facilitated by the European Parliament.
