Hola MaHigh-School - January 2020

it had back in the days. That is actually
not true! ‘radio’ may not be the physical
thing our parents used. With the growth
of Internet use ‘radio’ has become much
easier to access and you can basically
listen to your favorite radio station anywhere
in the world as long as you have a
smartphone.
Unlike streaming platforms it does not
cost a lot of money to hear your favorite
artists songs play and you also get
access to new artists that you might
not have known about, and you have a
choice to actually listen to the type of
music that you want thanks to Internet
radio and apps. However, playing music
does not constitute ‘radio’. Radio is also
‘live’ with people DJ’ing and providing
more than just ‘music’. Radio is not only
youtube.
If you are passionate about radio and
want to pursue a career in it there are
a lot to choose from. Consider that the
internet gives you the freedom to be
your own boss and in charge of a ‘radio
station’. It is now an app on the cell
phone really.
… and that is why ‘radio’ is still ‘it’
