What is Community Radio?
16 09 2005What is Community Radio? - A resource guide - (MS Word)
This booklet discusses the role of community radio stations in building participatory democracy and development in Africa - and offers ideas as to how such stations can be established. It provides an understanding of the renewed popularity in community radio, as well as the reasons why it is controversial, and perhaps threatening, from the point of view of commercial and public broadcasters.
It has to be remembered that the definitions and examples referred to in this booklet are dynamic and that the concept of ‘community radio’ should be re-visited or redefined as societal developments dictate.
