5. Parallel medium
• Parallel medium is when you can multitask while listening to
radio, for example listening to the radio and knitting . This is
why more people listen to Radio, cause they can listen to it
while doing other things, so it saves more time.
• Also the Big listen survey found that 61% listen to radio on
their mobile phones. So now that radio can be listened to
from phones it has increased their audience.
• And now radio is available on many things.

7. Survey monkey
• I used survey monkey to produce a questionnaire.
• This site helped me to produce a questionnaire and gain information
about my audience, rather quickly.
• In order to collect responses from my questionnaires, I sent the link of the
questionnaire to people through my mobile.
• I also posted the link on a social networking site, face book and asked
people to complete my questionnaire.
8. Audacity
• While making my radio newscast, I have acknowledged that I couldn't have
done many of the things I did without the use of technology, Audacity
allowed me to edit and cut out many of my inserts that I used for my radio
newscast. I have used Audacity a great number of times. It also helped me
save time as it did not take me long to edit my inserts. Audacity also
allowed me to paste inserts add special effects to inserts.
Notas do Editor
Over the years there have been many ways that technology has changed and will be changing, for example a mobile phone years ago was heavy and big, but now mobile phones are slick and light and have many applications, as opposed to years ago when the only feature of a normal phone was to call, text and play a few basic games. Minimisation is also increasing and is highly demanded in the market. People want smaller gadgets with more tools. And they can get it at the touch of a button. More and more products are being made available by downloading to a single device rather than stepping out to the store.
Technology has expanded significantly and has assisted economic growth. Many businesses rely on the internet, the iPhone and digitisation. Technology has expanded by having one device with many platforms, so we see more of convergence now from a range of technology.
DAB is becoming the new generation of Radio, Digital Radio not only has better reception for listeners to enjoy, but also there are many devices from which you can access Radio for example you can listen to the radio on your mobile, your x-box and your T.V.
I used survey monkey to a questionnaire, from which I could gather information from about my audience and what they like to hear on a radio news cast, and what radio stations they listen to. This site helped me to produce a questionnaire and gain information about my audience, rather quickly. In order to collect responses from my questionnaires, I sent the link of the questionnaire to people through my mobile, I also posted the link on a social networking site, face book and asked people to complete my questionnaire so I could gather feedback and make my radio a success.
