Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • Checklist for Returning to Community Radio Stations
    RETURNING TO COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS - CHECKLIST As the various states and territories progressively lift social distancing requirements, community radio station boards and management committees should consider their roadmap for safe return.

  • Public Media – Pubic Broadcasting System (PBS)
    SUPPORTING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA ACTION NEEDED We urge Congress to: Restore public broadcasting funding to the FY 2013 appropriation level of $445 million through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Pass the Community Access Preservation Act (CAP Act) to preserve public, educational, and governmental (PEG) non-commercial cable channels for local communities. OVERVIEW—PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA Public media consists of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and more than 1,000 local public broadcasting stations. Community media is comprised of public, educational, and government (PEG) cable access TV and community radio stations. Both public and community media have a long history of presenting local, regional, and national nonprofit arts programming, a great majority of which is not available on commercial channels. These organizations play a unique role in bringing both classics and contemporary works to the American public. All of these systems exist because of federal funding or legislation. TALKING POINTS— CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING In creating America’s unique public broadcasting system, Congress acknowledged public broadcasting’s role in transmitting arts and culture: “It is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of public radio and television broadcasting, including the use of such media for instructional, educational, and cultural purposes.” And Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is the vehicle through which Congress has chosen to promote noncommercial public telecommunications. CPB does not produce or broadcast programs. The vast majority of funding through CPB goes directly to local public broadcast stations in the form of Community Service Grants. The federal portion of the average public station’s revenue is approximately 10–15 percent.

  • Steve Reich's Phases of Phases: a Comparison of Electric
    Steve Reich’s Phases of Phases: A Comparison of Electric Counterpoint and Radio Rewrite Erin Main, May 12th, 2016 21M.260, WC: 3478 Introduction. Minimalism developed primarily during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s amidst a rising counterculture in America. Minimalist artists in the 50s defied expectations of what “art” should be; one example is the color fields of artists such as Ad Reinhardt.1 Minimalist artists focused on the very deliberate creation of works that were comprised of the smallest amount of discernible qualities; with the aforementioned color fields, the viewer was intended to observe the minutiae of the brush strokes of the artist.2 In the mid-60s, minimalist music also started to take hold, driven by the efforts of composers Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich.3 Reich is well-known for pioneering process-based music, as established in his 1968 essay “Music as a Gradual Process.”4 Process-based music is characterized by its minimal amount of material, with development (a musical process) occurring through changes in the material over a period of time.5 Reich’s most prominent type of process is phase shifting, which involves “placing a simple repeating pattern in different combinations with itself.”6 Due to the very nature of process-based composition, Reich’s music has a “structurally lucid aesthetic,” as the material 1 Jonathan W.

  • 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.

  • Kothmale Community Radio Interorg Project: True Community Radio Or Feel-Good Propaganda?
    International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning Volume 10, Number 1. ISSN: 1492-3831 February – 2009 Kothmale Community Radio Interorg Project: True Community Radio or Feel-Good Propaganda? Liz Harvey-Carter M.A. Integrated Studies Athabasca University Abstract The Kothmale Community Radio and Interorg project in Sri Lanka has been hailed as an example of how a community radio initiative should function in a developing nation. However, there is some question about whether the Kothmale Community Interorg Project is a true community radio initiative that empowers local communities to access ICT services and to participate freely and equally or another ―feel- good‖ project controlled by successive, repressive Sri-Lankan governments and international partners, as alleged by its critics? After two decades of operation, the evidence shows that the Kothmale project is a cautionary tale about what can go wrong when an ICT project is not strongly promoted as a community- based enterprise. The biggest lesson that the Kothmale model can teach us is that control of community radio must be in the hands of the community exclusively if it is to succeed. Keywords: Kothmale, Community Radio, Sri Lanka, ICT, Kothmale Interorg Project Introduction The Kothmale Community Radio Project in Sri Lanka, now called the Kothmale Community Interorg Project, has been hailed as an example of how a community radio initiative should function within a developing nation, particularly one that has been embroiled in a long, brutal civil war (FAO, no date; Hughes, 2003; IDS, 2002; Jayaweera, 1998; Op de Coul, 2003; Seneviratne, 2007; Seneviratne, 2000). While this project is described as a success, ostensibly enabling the limited community it serves to participate in ICT and to decide which aspects of their culture(s) will be broadcast or featured on air or online, it can be argued that it has failed to realize its promise as an engine for change and freedom of expression (Gunawardene, 2007).
