Zusammenfassung: | Mass media frequently makes use of more than the visual image. With the exception of music, movie scores, and radio news however, media geographers have largely ignored the impact sound in media has on shaping and characterizing our experience of the world. We address this lack by showcasing two types of audio media: audio drama and audio-guided tours. The former will be explored with the help of the world’s most successful audio drama series The Three Investigators to give a historical and theoretical introduction to the realm of sound within mass media. The latter will be illustrated using the example of the Austin Walking Tour as a representative production for city tourism. |
