(Youths & Net-Radio)</span></i></b><b style><span style="color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt"> (Andrea Baker): </span></b><span style="color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt">This
book is the first comprehensive study of the radio and music industries in the
internet age. It case studies major cultural music cities such as Melbourne and
New York City who are at the forefront of new and cutting-edge technology
initiatives associated with radio and music. Primarily based on a transnational
study of college students’ net-radio consumption practices, <i style>Virtual Radio Ga Ga </i>uncovers two types
of audiences (radio online or net-only radio audiences) and a three-tiered
net-radio subculture (conservatives, swingers, and radicals), which is
determined by users’ taste distinctions and how much power they have over their
net-radio consumption and production practices. It contends that net-radio; its
synergy with radio and music journalism and youth subcultures is not a trivial
flash in the pan, but an important and ongoing social-cultural and global
phenomenon. In doing so the book contributes to cultural studies research on
the Internet.</span></p>
