Ethnic Minority Radio: Interactions and Identity ETHNIC MINORITY RADIO: INTERACTIONS AND IDENTITY ELEANOR SHEMBER-CRITCHLEY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Information and Communications Manchester Metropolitan University May 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis could not have been researched and written without the valued supervision of Professor Seamus Simpson and Dr John Cawood. Additional thanks go to Professor Dick Hartley and Dr Magda Bober. Great thanks to the participants of the research who gave up valuable time and personal insights for this thesis. Without the endless support, listening ear, patience and encouragement of my parents and, most of all, my husband this thesis would not have happened at all. Thank you. ABSTRACT The past thirty years has seen a growth of ethnic minority radio stations. They occupy spaces in the public, commercial, community and pirate broadcasting sectors and are seen to provide valuable services for marginalised listeners. Yet, little is known about the practices of broadcasting within these stations and the role staff and their programmes play within their communities. This doctoral thesis is the first analysis of the development and continuing existence of a set of case study ethnic minority radio stations and how they employ the concepts of ethnicity and identity. To achieve this, it puts the daily interactions and practices that go on within the radio stations at the heart of the analysis. The paucity of research in this area demanded the synthesis of different theoretical ideas to fully explore the meaning of these interactions. The study utilises a modified structuration theory (Giddens, 1984; Stones, 2005) to blend the separate areas of ethnicity, identity (Karner, 2007) and radio in everyday life (Scannell, 1996). Structuration theory comes with few instructions for use. A major contribution to theoretical knowledge is the presentation of a theoretical, methodological and coding framework. The qualitative, case study approach and a blended strategy enable the valuable use of structuration theory for studies of the media and everyday life. This thesis argues that the structures of ethnicity, identity, and the station are the medium and outcome of agent action and that agent action is orientated by the structures of the station, broadcasting, ethnicity and identity. Contingent to this analysis are the life narratives of the staff and the ‘cultural competences’ they bring to the stations. The theoretical framework illuminates the processes of ethnicity, highlighting the importance of both a reified and a fluid identity, broadcast as part of the programmes, to understand how these stations and their communities are so tightly bound.

  • New Report Reveals Public Service Impact of Commercial Radio
    May 16, 2011 NEW REPORT REVEALS PUBLIC SERVICE IMPACT OF COMMERCIAL RADIO RadioCentre, the industry body for commercial radio, today (May 16) released a new report, Action Stations: The Output and Impact of Commercial Radio, which highlights the industry’s investment in vital public service broadcasting such as news and information; cultural and social action; community involvement and charitable activities. The report is being backed by a nation-wide advertising campaign on commercial radio, highlighting the valuable contribution the industry makes to communities and local businesses. It follows on from commercial radio’s best–ever haul of 14 Golds at this year’s Sony Radio Academy Awards and record audience reach figures announced last week. The Action Stations report, which is the result of a substantial audit conducted across more than 160 commercial radio stations, shows that on average, some eight and a half hours of public service content are broadcast each week by commercial radio stations. Andrew Harrison, Chief Executive of RadioCentre said: “Commercial radio has been through some big changes in the last few years, with the launch of new national and regional brands offering a genuine alternative to the BBC. However, this report shows that is only part of the story. The vast majority of commercial stations are locally-focused and are still making a vital contribution to their communities by offering real public value. “Commercial radio achieved its biggest ever audience over the last quarter, with the potent combination of national networks and local services proving hugely successful in attracting listeners. This survey shows that these stations not only entertain, but also have a real impact on people’s lives.” The radio advertising campaign, which will be offered to all RadioCentre’s members, emphasises the importance of the stations’ relationships with their listeners, using the theme of ‘commercial radio, your radio’ to promote the notion and importance of a strong, thriving, local and regional commercial radio sector.

  • Three the Hard Way Wilfred Limonious: in Fine Style Alex Bartsch: Covers Maxine Walters: Serious Things a Go Happen
    HVW8 BERLIN — HVW8 Gallery Berlin in collaboration with One Love Books presents THREE THE HARD WAY WILFRED LIMONIOUS: IN FINE STYLE ALEX BARTSCH: COVERS MAXINE WALTERS: SERIOUS THINGS A GO HAPPEN Cover illustration from the LP Dance Hall Time by Various Artistes (Scar Face Music, 1986) In Fine Style: The Dancehall Art of Wilfred Limonious, is the first solo exhibition of work by prolific Jamaican illustrator Wilfred Limonious (1949–99) in Germany, and includes reproductions of work from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, spanning three key phases in his career: his comic strips for the Jamaican newspapers, his illustrations for the publications of JAMAL (the Jamaican Movement for the Advancement of Literacy), and his distinctive artwork for the burgeoning dancehall scene coming out of 1980s Jamaica. The exhibition is curated by Al “Fingers” Newman and Christopher Bateman and is produced by One Love Books with the support of the Limonious Estate, to accompany their book, In Fine Style: The Dancehall Art of Wilfred Limonious, the first study into the artist’s life and work. London-based photographer Alex Bartsch makes his debut at HVW8 Gallery Berlin with photographs from his book, Covers: Retracing Reggae Record Sleeves in London, forthcoming on One Love Books. After researching various reggae LPs and twelve-inches from his record collection, Bartsch has re-photographed fifty sleeves in their original London locations, holding them up at arm’s-length so that they blend in with their surroundings, decades later. Presented in this way, the photographs document the transition of time, with the album cover serving as a window into the past, juxtaposed against today’s backdrop.
