Radio w sieci – kontra czy wzmocnienie tradycyjnego radia?

Abstract

Radio is a mass-medium whose main virtue is the immediate passing on of the communicates. The Internet radio, like the traditional one, is used for transmitting audio signals from a sender to a receiver. The difference is that the signal is sent over Internet instead of ether. The Internet radio fixes the drawbacks related to the traditional radio: 1) can be listened to from an Internet-enabled computer located anywhere, 2) Internet allows listening to any station over the world. The paper describes research on the use of internet radio by students and analysis of the content offered by Polish-speaking Internet radio stations. The abundance of the Internet radio offer allows the young people to learn making choice. Due to its specific properties (like forcing to reflection and audience activity, the dynamism of hearing attention, disapproval for passivity, involuntariness of the perception and the favour to the imagination development), the hearing perception is conducive to the teaching-learning process and may increase the process efficiency.
