The documentation services of broadcasting stations under public law a
nd their work are well known since years and are presented within the
literature. This is not the case with the numerous private services, w

word and noise will grow in importance. Taking Radio Schleswig-Holste
in as an example, the present situation is sketched out and suggestion
s are made for a detailed and practical documentation of music, word a
nd noise.
