The Visualisation of Radio

Available for over a year

Radio programming is becoming more and more visual and the BBC World Service is using several methods to create a digital platform where listeners can access added extras such as videos, photographs and apps. Editor, Simon Peeks, explains what this means for radio as a traditional form of broadcasting and outlines how this extra content can change and enhance the way you listen to the World Service. Blind listener, Hala Copper raises her concerns for those who, like her, can’t access this visual platform while partially sighted broadcaster, Rob Crossan gives his thoughts on how to avoid certain pitfalls.
