Kenyan Community Radio: Players, Production Processes and Participation Kenyan Community Radio: Players, Production Processes and Participation A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Dr Phil) in Media Studies awarded by BIGSAS at the University of Bayreuth By Rose Nyakio Kimani Research Area (B): Knowledge, Communication and Communities in Motion Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jürgen E. Müller Prof. Levi Obonyo (Mentor) Dr. Ulf Vierke (Mentor) July 2017 STATUTORY DECLARATION I hereby affirm that I have produced the thesis at hand without any inadmissible help from a third party or the use of resources other than those cited; ideas incorporated directly or indirectly from other sources are clearly marked as such. In addition, I affirm that I have neither used the services of commercial consultants or intermediaries in the past nor will I use such services in the future. The thesis in the same or similar form has hitherto not been presented to another examining authority in Germany or abroad, nor has it been published. Bayreuth, 24.07.2017 Rose Nyakio Kimani ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My appreciation goes to the individuals and institutions that have been a part of this journey. I acknowledge Kenya’s National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) and Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) for providing the scholarship that enabled me to undertake my studies. The Bayreuth International Graduate School of African Studies (BIGSAS), University of Bayreuth and Chuka University have each provided administrative, networking and other support, without which it would have been infinitely more difficult to take on and complete this project. I also thank the backbone of this project: my research contributors. The individuals and organisations who availed their time and effort to be interviewed, to provide documents, to fill in questionnaires, to secure programme copies, and to allow me to watch them at work. Without them this research would not have been possible. My research assistants at each location, who did an excellent job of questionnaire administration with minimal supervision, and specifically Peter Kibe for both questionnaire administration and data input. My deepest gratitude especially goes to both the people working in and living around Kangema FM, Koch FM and Mugambo Jwetu FM for their role as the research focus. On the academic front, I appreciate the people who have walked alongside me on this journey and provided different kinds of support. I mention only a few here: My supervision team – Prof. Dr. Juergen E. Mueller, Prof. Levi Obonyo and Dr. Ulf Vierke, for the feedback and fruitful discussions that shaped my work. Academic seniors including but not limited to Prof. Dr. Ritzer, Prof. Dr. Fendler, Prof. Odhiambo and Dr. Maseno, for insightful comments and perspectives. Friends, both near and far, and BIGSAS colleagues, for companionship, laughter, draft-reading, perspective and critique when needed. And last but certainly not least, my family: words are not enough to encompass what an anchor your constant support has been. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS STATUTORY DECLARATION ....................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................................ iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................... iv TABLE OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................. viii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS .......................................................................................................... ix 1 THE KENYAN MEDIA LANDSCAPE AND COMMUNITY BROADCASTING ........................ 1 1.1 Introduction: The Kenya Media Landscape ..................................................................... 1 1.2 Defining Community Broadcasting ................................................................................. 3 1.3 A History of Kenyan Community Radio ........................................................................... 4 1.4 Situating the Study: Constraints facing Kenyan Community Broadcasters ....................... 6 1.5 Research Focus .............................................................................................................. 7 1.6 Research Questions ....................................................................................................... 8 1.7 Research objectives ....................................................................................................... 8 1.8 Research Contexts ......................................................................................................... 9 1.8.1 Kangema RANET FM, 105.2............................................................................................. 9 1.8.2 Koch FM ........................................................................................................................ 10 1.8.3 Mugambo Jwetu FM ..................................................................................................... 10 1.9 Research Design .......................................................................................................... 11 Design Limitations ......................................................................................................................... 11 1.10 Significance of the Study ............................................................................................. 12 1.11 Conceptual Framework ............................................................................................... 13 1.12 Conclusion .................................................................................................................. 17 2 MEDIA AND SOCIETY: PARTICIPATION, SOCIAL (RE)FORMATIONS AND POWER NEGOTIATIONS ............................................................................................................... 20 2.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 20 2.2 Society and the Media ................................................................................................. 21 2.2.1 Global Trends and Media Policy.................................................................................... 23 2.2.2 Media for Development as a Kenyan State Policy ........................................................ 25 2.2.3 The Place of Culture in Media Roles ............................................................................. 27 2.3 Content and Content Production Practices ................................................................... 28 2.4 Audiences, Communities, and Publics .......................................................................... 34 2.4.1 Communities or Publics?

  • The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era 1Rizalman Muhammad, 2Faiz Hakimi Mat Idris, 3Kamaliah Salleh, 2Ahmad Zahid Salleh, 2Mohamad Zaidin Mohamad 1Institut Pendidikan Guru, Ipoh Campus, Malaysia 2Faculty of Islamic Contemporary Studies, UniSZA, Malaysia 3Faculty of Law, Accountancy & International Relations, UniSZA, Malaysia Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 Abstract The first pilgrimage performed by the Prophet Abraham which was in the 20th century BC had eventually been mixed with polytheism and heresy elements before Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was sent to this world. In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

  • Astro Case Study
    Case Study ASTRO RADIO: VIRTUAL CONSOLE TECHNOLOGY MALAYSIA’S LARGEST BROADCASTER REINVENTS RADIO STUDIOS WITH LAWO VIRTUAL MIXING Case Study VIRTUAL MIXING AT ASTRO RADIO “A RADICAL RE-IMAGINING OF WHAT AN ON-AIR STUDIO COULD LOOK LIKE.” Astro Radio, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, has become one of Southeast Asia‘s most influential broadcasters since their inception in 1996. With 11 radio formats in multiple languages, including the popular Era, Sinar, Gegar, My, Hitz and other channels, Astro Radio reaches over 15.8 million listeners every week in Malaysia alone. Astro began operations in 1996 and immediately became known for their technological excellence, employing a cutting-edge audio routing system and digital broadcast consoles custom manufactured to meet their technical requirements. But by 2006, Astro needed more capabilities and simpler studio workflows, so that on-air talent could focus on content creation rather than technical duties. “Around 2015, we picked up on the touchscreen trend,” says Bala Murali Subramaney, Astro Radio’s Chief Technology Officer. “We envisioned a full-blown radio broadcast console - on a touchscreen. Not a ‘lite’ console with only some console features nor a touchscreen with a console ‘simulation’.” Astro Radio Broadcast Center, Kuala Lumpur The virtual console Astro engineers envisioned would be a true radio broadcast console, with all the features and functionalities of the professional broadcast consoles they relied on. “We took the best features of our first console, analyzed common operator mistakes and asked for improvement suggestions, then we condensed this data into a comprehensive document and presented it as our mandate to Lawo – whose response was the Zirkon-2s modular broadcast console,” says Bala.

  • PAS Dilemmas in the Era of Abdul Hadi Awang
    PAS Dilemmas in the Era of Abdul Hadi Awang Saiyid Radzuwan Syed Sopi and Faridah Jaafar Political Science Section, School of Distance Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800, Penang Keywords: organization, mainstreamer, reformist, ulama and politicians Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify what will happen to the PAS organization when the result of 61st Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) muktamar (general assembly) in Kuala Selangor, June 6, 2015 revealed that the PAS leadership has been dominated by ulama leaders, labelled ‘traditionalist’ or ‘purist’ and the ‘mainstreamer’ or ‘reformist’ had to admit that they have lost their positions in the party. The focus of this research is to identify that when Abdul Hadi Awang, the PAS president, had successfully purged the reformist from being a part of the party members, he and his factions had made an unpredictable action to withdraw from multi-ethnic opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in June 16, 2015. As a result, PR was dissolved and the rift worsened after the PAS leadership was captured by conservatives and the party accepted a motion by its conservative ulama (clerics) wing to sever ties with the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and People Justice Party (PKR). Hadi realized that it is near impossible for PAS to be in power on the national level without assistance from the opposition parties. However, this research found that although Hadi was a veteran politician, he asserts that his ideology, political thought and his ways of solving political problems are against with PH. Hadi was categorized as an arrogant who always disagrees with his colleagues, lacks of coalition spirit, and always makes a controversial statement towards PH.

  • 1 Christopher Rodney Yeoh the Pluralism Project
    Christopher Rodney Yeoh The Pluralism Project Research Report “In these past years of nation-building, we have not become less Malay, less Indian, or less Chinese but we have all become more Malaysian” (Ling Liong Sik, Malaysian Chinese Association, Secretary-General’s Report 1993:9) Malaysia, Truly Asia? Religious Pluralism in Malaysia The slogan “Malaysia, Truly Asia” is commonly heard across the world as part of a large and expensive advertising campaign sponsored by the Malaysian government. It is an attempt to attract foreign visitors to this country of 22 million people which boasts of a highly diverse ethnic and religious composition (Embong 2001, p.59).1 51 percent of the population is Malay, all of whom are Muslim.2 Chinese make up 26 percent of the population; most of whom are Buddhists combining Taoist and Confucian practices while a small number identify as Christian. Indians comprise 7 percent of the population of whom most are Hindu with a small minority of Sikhs, Muslims and Christians. Various ethnic groups, such as different indigenous groups mostly situated in the Borneo region, and Eurasians and migrant workers, most of whom are Indonesians, make up the remaining 16 percent of the population (Peletz 2005, p.243). 1 The campaign has been a tremendous success in terms of its wide coverage and response. Billboards promoting tourism in Malaysia can be seen in soccer stadiums in England, and on highways in Australia and the United Kingdom. The campaign also uses the newspaper and the television to promote tourism. This advertising drive prompted The Hindustan Times, one of India’s largest newspapers to write, “"Malaysia is all set to cash in on its multi-ethnic culture by featuring several Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Sikh and Buddhist houses of worship as the country's premier 'spiritual tourism' destinations” (Press Trust of India 2006).
