SCMS debrief

Last weekend I participated in a great set of panels at SCMS in Boston. The panels were part of an effort to set up a radio studies SIG within SCMS, and there were some great presentations and discussions, including on LPFM (from Cynthia Conti and Christina Dunbar-Hester), the utility of a rhetoric of ‘crisis’ for NPR (that from Jason Loviglio), and more. I provided an overview of some of my recent work, including some still-percolating thoughts on how college radio stations are responding to having their FM licenses sold out from under them.

I’ll be participating in a radio-focused panel at the meeting of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies in Boston in late March, with a paper titled “Degrees of Freedom: how community radio stations are responding to new distribution channels.”
