»Ich wollte eigentlich Sängerin werden.« Berufsselbstbilder von Tontechniker*innen im Radio

Konferenzbeitrag

This article explores a previously understudied field of musical practice: the use and treatment of music in radio journalism. It takes a look at a profession that particularly deals with music on a material level: the sound technicians working at radio stations. By analyzing qualitative interviews this text seeks to gain insight into self-concepts of sound technicians. The results show that the interviewees tend to rate questions of auditory aesthetics more important for their work than technical craft. At the same time, there is evidence that this self-concept only partially coincides with ideas that other authorities have about this profession.
