Cultural Identity, Hybridity and Minority Media: Community Access Radio Cultural Identity, Hybridity and Minority Media: Community Access Radio and Migrants in New Zealand Netra Timilsina A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Communication University of Canterbury January 2019 Dedication To my beautiful wife Sangeeta a source of inspiration and encouragement ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would not have been completed without the generous support that I received from many people and organisations. If I mention all the names here the list would be so long. I would particularly like to thank all the members of the Nepalese, the Filipino and Iranian communities who participated in this research. Similar thanks go to the community organisations: Nepal New Zealand Friendship Society of Canterbury Inc. (NNZFSC); Philippine Culture and Migrants Services (PCMS), and University of Canterbury Iranian Society (UCIS), their executives and all the programme producers and presenters from these three communities, who supported me during the whole research process. With special mention to Nicki Reece, station-manager, and Laura Gartner, programme coordinator, I would like to thank the entire Plains FM family and its community broadcasters. In addition, I would like to thank my senior supervisor, Dr Zita Joyce, who guided me through this exciting journey with academic excellence. I would like to thank Dr Linda Jean Kenix for providing constructive feedback as an associate supervisor in my PhD journey. This thesis is the result of all of your generous support and constructive feedback.

I am grateful to my family, especially my wife Sangeeta, who made many sacrifices to support my PhD. I would also like to remember all my relatives and friends from both New Zealand and Nepal, for your encouragement and support throughout my media and academic journey. Namaste! Page | ii Abstract This thesis analyses three Christchurch-based migrant communities – Filipino, Nepalese and Iranian – and their radio programmes on Access Radio station Plains FM. It argues that these radio programmes are participatory media platforms. These communities have easy access to structures of feedback and participation which provide opportunities to become involved in the content production and decision-making processes of the radio programmes. The participatory practices place these programmes close to an ideal of alternative media where boundaries between producers and audiences are blurred and audiences emerge as co-creators or prosumers of the content. The research investigates how migrant communities value their local radio programmes in this digital era where media platforms are increasingly becoming transnational, and technology has facilitated diasporic populations to receive media content from their countries of origin in any host society. Migrants prefer radio programmes in their native language as a source of news, information and entertainment. Although those audience segments can easily receive information from mainstream media, they find their own radio programmes more authentic and intimate. The thesis finds that the radio programmes connect and provide orientation between migrants, their countries of origin and New Zealand society. The radio programmes are the platform where migrants can practice their cultures and languages and transfer those cultural practices and languages to future generations. The programmes also support migrant populations’ integration in the host society, by providing local information useful for their everyday life. The research traces the memories of migrants by employing in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions to understand these radio programmes’ role in building a sense of community during disasters in their countries of origin. The community radio programmes work as influential platforms for the migrant communities to practice their community public spheres and to negotiate their cultural identities in an increasingly multicultural New Zealand.

  • Pacific Media Forum 2012
    Pacific Media Forum 2012 A small forum of Pacific broadcasting leaders met on 19 July 2012 at the Pacific Media Network in Manukau. The purpose was to discuss the research paper commissioned by NZ On Air - Broadcast Programming for Pacific Audiences released in June 2012, and to think about ways that broadcasting services to Pacific people in New Zealand could be improved. Given the difficult economic climate significant new Government funding is unlikely to be available for some time. Suggested improvements were considered within the context of NZ On Air’s legislative remit. The document is a brief overview of the discussion and feedback from the forum. Discussion about the research: The general view was that it was a valuable piece of research. The desires of the Pacific communities expressed in the surveys were not a surprise to most attendees. Some gaps in the research were identified: o The Survey Monkey research probably did not reach audiences over age 35. This is the main demographic listening to Pacific language radio. o The television survey did not include new youth series Fresh. o Did not establish if there is a gap in the range of Pacific voices in narrative and drama. o It would be helpful to know which Pacific projects have been funded and who are the Pacific production companies. o The internet is a very important platform for Pacific youth and some felt it was not adequately covered in the research. o Others thought that the ‘digital divide’ is not as much of a barrier for Pacific audiences as was expressed in the research.

  • 1 Rethinking Journalism and Culture
    1 RETHINKING JOURNALISM AND CULTURE: AN EXAMINATION OF HOW PACIFIC AUDIENCES EVALUATE ETHNIC MEDIA Journalism Studies Tara Ross Media and Communication Department School of Language, Social and Political Sciences University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand [email protected] http://www.arts.canterbury.ac.nz/media/people/ross.shtml Funding This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. 2 RETHINKING JOURNALISM AND CULTURE: AN EXAMINATION OF HOW PACIFIC AUDIENCES EVALUATE ETHNIC MEDIA Studies of indigenous and ethnic minority news media tend to emphasise their political advocacy role, their role in providing a voice to communities overlooked by mainstream media and, increasingly, the cultural forces at work in these media. By considering ethnic media in terms of how ethnic minority audiences understand what they do with these media, this study provides a different perspective. Focus groups held with Pacific audiences at several urban centres in New Zealand found participants routinely use the idea of journalism in evaluating Pacific media – and journalism for them was a term defined to a significant extent by wider societal expectations around journalism, and not by their ethnic difference. Through examining the intersection of media practices with the ideals and expectations of journalism, this paper questions how far we should foreground the specifics of culture in interpreting people’s media use, and advocates a commitment to more empirical research to reorient the study of ethnic media away from a fixation on difference and towards people’s media practices. KEYWORDS: culture; ethnic media; journalism; media practices; Pacific audiences This paper studies audience members of Pacific ethnic media in terms of how they value the news they receive from ethnic media sources.

  • Reaching the Community Through Community Radio
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UC Research Repository REACHING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMUNITY RADIO Readjusting to the New Realities A Case Study Investigating the Changing Nature of Community Access and Participation in Three Community Radio Stations in Three Countries New Zealand, Nepal and Sri Lanka __________________________________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ahmed Zaki Nafiz University of Canterbury 2012 _____________________________________________________________________________ Dedicated to my beloved parents: Abdulla Nafiz and Rasheeda Mohammed Didi i ABSTRACT Community radio is often described as a medium that celebrates the small community life and where local community members plan, produce and present their own programmes. However, many believe that the radio management policies are now increasingly sidelining this aspect of the radio. This is ironic given the fact that the radio stations are supposed to be community platforms where members converge to celebrate their community life and discuss issues of mutual interest. In this case study, I have studied three community radio stations- RS in Nepal, KCR in Sri Lanka and SCR in New Zealand- investigating how the radio management policies are positively or negatively, affecting community access and participation. The study shows that in their effort to stay economically sustainable, the three stations are gradually evolving as a ‘hybrid’; something that sits in-between community and commercial radio. Consequently, programmes that are produced by the local community are often replaced by programmes that are produced by full-time paid staff; and they are more entertaining in nature and accommodate more advertisements.
