He has published articles in The Soundtrack, The New Soundtrack and Contemporary Music Review on the contextual underpinning of his work. His most recent Organised Sound article (2017) links the pioneering approach to sound of pre-WWII British documentary filmmakers, with Pierre Schaeffers musique concrete. John Corner is Visiting Professor in Media and Communication at the University of Leeds and Professor Emeritus of the University of Liverpool. He has published widely since the 1970s in international journals and in books with aspects of documentary history and form a regular theme alongside theories of media power and the forms of political mediation. Edited collections relevant to this book include Documentary and the Mass Media (1986) and the co-edited New Challenges for Documentary (second edition, 2005).
