The Radio Research Project aimed to study radio’s effects across multiple social domains.

Evidence

According to the memorandum, what was important was to use a whole variety of research techniques to address a variety of questions which came up again and again in discussions about it. These were questions such as: In what ways do listening to the news on the radio and reading the newspaper influence each other? Is radio contributing to the urbanization of rural areas? Will the new acoustic effects which radio has made possible influence the further development of music? The project was to concentrate on four main areas of radio programming: music, book-reading, news and politics. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 262
