Archiving of ABC local radio programs

<p dir="ltr">In Australia, hundreds of Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Local Radio</p><p dir="ltr">Program Makers produce thousands of hours of radio each month that contain the</p><p dir="ltr">voices of people in their region speaking about what is important to them. This study</p><p dir="ltr">examines what proportion of these voices are being recorded and archived for future</p><p dir="ltr">reuse, how it is being done, what Program Makers think about such a task, and how well</p><p dir="ltr">equipped they are to increase this proportion in the near future. Starting from the</p><p dir="ltr">assumption that very little is being archived and the belief that more should be, it</p><p dir="ltr">concludes with recommendations how best to increase the amount of archiving</p><p dir="ltr">undertaken by ABC Local Radio.</p><p><br></p>
