  • Community Radio Journalism in India
    News by any other name: community radio journalism in India Bridget Backhaus* Griffith University, Australia Abstract Community radio journalism is a cultural resource that offers a voice to local communities and works to democratise media landscapes. Despite its indisputable value, community radio journalism in India faces a unique set of challenges: the foremost being that, officially, it does not exist. According to government policy, community radio stations are prohibited from broadcasting any news and current affairs content. The situation is further complicated by the presence of a development discourse underpinning the entire rationale for the sector. Instead of serving their listeners, community radio stations are beholden to a nebulous ‘development’ agenda. Under such circumstances, it is unsurprising that community radio journalism in India is relatively unexplored in the literature. This paper aims to address this gap by exploring how community radio practitioners in India source content and work around their restrictions in order to provide their listeners with relevant information and news. Keywords Community radio, India, news, journalism, development, social change Introduction Community radio is considered to be a voice for the voiceless and a stronghold of alternative views. Similarly, community radio journalism also has a tradition of democratising the media and acting as a cultural resource to provide communities with a local voice (Forde, Meadows & Foxwell-Norton, 2002). In India however, community radio journalism faces a unique set of challenges: the foremost of which being that, officially, it does not exist. Government policy prevents community radio stations in India from broadcasting any news or current affairs coverage. Employing the concept of community radio as rhizome as a theoretical framework, this article explores the fluid and contingent nature of community radio news and journalism in an environment where it officially does not exist.

  • Three Case Studies of Thai Community Radio Stations
    PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY MEDIA: THREE CASE STUDIES OF THAI COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Chalisa Magpanthong August 2007 This dissertation titled PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY MEDIA: THREE CASE STUDIES OF THAI COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS by CHALISA MAGPANTHONG has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the Scripps College of Communication by Drew McDaniel Professor of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication MAGPANTHONG, CHALISA, Ph.D., August 2007. Telecommunications. PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY MEDIA: THREE CASE STUDIES OF THAI COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS (287 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel This dissertation explored practices of participatory communication in three case studies of Thailand’s community radio stations (CRS) and investigated the dynamic relationships between CRSs and their communities. It articulated the theoretical framework of participatory community media developed from the concepts of community media and participatory communication. In Thailand, community radio was categorized differently from mainstream radio because of two features—community ownership and participatory communication practices. Essentially, community ownership made these stations responsive to community demands that differed from station to station due to their varied social contexts and cultural boundaries. Based on ethnographic methods, which included sixty-four qualitative interviews and participant observation during eight weeks of fieldwork, this study analyzed three Thai CRSs—Doilangtham CRS in the north, Khon Thaiso CRS in the northeast, and Pattani CRS in the south. This study found public access to CRSs is most assured when local languages are used, physical location is convenient, content is appropriate, and feedback mechanisms are in place.

Based on ethnographic data, the article highlights that the essential and critical contribution of campus radio lies in its ability to create a social space for HIV/AIDS communication. The overall aim of this study was to assess the relationship between exposure to radio broadcasting messages and the adoption of safer sexual practices. Our analysis suggests that campus broadcasting can be instrumental in promoting HIV/AIDS awareness and education. Keywords Behaviour change, critical awareness, HIV/AIDS communication, mass media, social space 1. Introduction Despite all the various health and HIV/AIDS campaigns that have been introduced and under- taken at South African universities since the emergence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, recent statis- tics continue to suggest and single out universities in the country as havens of the epidemic (Stremlau and Nkosi, 2001). The prevalence rate of the epidemic in most of the country’s univer- sities continue to rise amid all campaign efforts tailored to reduce further transmission and infec- tion (Higher Education HIV and AIDS Programme [HEAIDS], 2009).

  • University Radio Stations Serving the Wider Community, Using Case Studies from the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States
    “YOU’RE IN THE RADIO LAB!” - UNIVERSITY RADIO STATIONS SERVING THE WIDER COMMUNITY, USING CASE STUDIES FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, AUSTRALIA AND THE UNITED STATES JANEY GORDON UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE PROJECT LEADER RADIO LAB0 Introduction In a number of areas globally,the development of what has come to be known as ‘commu- nity’ radio has occurred in many forums, such as ICT centres, community groups, churches or social clubs. However a number of countries have found universities to be natural hosts for the early development of this type of broadcasting. This has occurred in some areas due to radical political changes, for example in the ex communist country of Hungary (Velics, 2012) or the newly democratised state of Uruguay (Light, 2012), and the university has been regarded as a ‘neutral’ area.In other countries, universities have had a keyplace in the development, formation and sustainability of this sector of broadcasting, notably the United States, Australia and latterly the United Kingdom. Community radio may be seen as a natural development of what happens in universities anyway, - experimentation into the physics of broadcasting, a commitment by politically active academics and students to use radio to provide alternative views and culture to the mainstream media andthe enhancement of education using broadcasting technologies. There are also pragmatic reasons for universities to host community radio stations. A uni- versity is a semi-public site, the university authorities can welcome external visitors but also provide some restrictions and security to access if needed. A university frequently occupies large premises that may be able to find space for a fledgling community radio station and its volunte- ers.
