As the dominant form of media in Czechoslovakia from 1945 until 1969, radio constituted a site of negotiation between Communist officials, broadcast journalists, and audiences. Listeners' feedback, captured in thousands of pieces of fan mail, shows how a non-democratic society established, stabilized, and reproduced itself. In Red Tape, historian Rosamund Johnston explores the dynamic between radio reporters and the listeners who liked and trusted them while recognizing that they produced both propaganda and entertainment. Red Tape rethinks Stalinism in Czechoslovakia--one of the states in which it was at its staunchest for longest--by showing how, even then, meaningful, multi-directional communication occurred between audiences and state-controlled media. It finds de-Stalinization's first traces not in secret speeches never intended for the ears of "ordinary" listeners, but instead in earlier, changing forms of radio address. And it traces the origins of the Prague Spring's discursive climate to the censored and monitored environment of the newsroom, long before the seismic year of 1968. Bringing together European history, media studies, cultural history, and sound studies, Red Tape shows how Czechs and Slovaks used radio technologies and institutions to negotiate questions of citizenship and rights"-- 610 20 Československý rozhlas |xHistory. 650 0 Radio broadcasting |xPolitical aspects |zCzechoslovakia |xHistory. 650 0 Radio journalism |zCzechoslovakia |xHistory. 650 0 Radio audiences |zCzechoslovakia |xHistory. 650 0 Communism and mass media |zCzechoslovakia |xHistory. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6384_540943700000000_JOH |70 |8REF |9164214OSA |bOSA |d2024-05-02 |eOSA |l0 |o384.5409437 JOH |r2024-05-02 |w2024-05-02 |yBK |cReference 920 01 wXZKWKY7 992 01 384_540943700000000_JOH |bWRV_UVZQVWSZZZZZZZZ_GBI 966 |cIn the Research Room
