Radio I " A I WOMEN, CULTU AND COMMUNITY ACCESS BRO CASTING A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Canterbury by Rowan Mary Jeffrey Gender Studies University of Canterbury 2004 Abstract This research is a case study of the participation of women at Plains FM 96.9, one of eleven non-profit, community owned and operated community access radio stations in AotearoalNew Zealand. Located in Christchurch city, Plains FM broadcasts community-produced programming in twenty different languages to the Canterbury region. As a community access station, it is committed to meeting community development objectives through the provision of access to the airwaves for groups that are underserved by mainstream media. In this thesis, I locate Plains FM within the wider historical and discursive context of the AotearoalNew Zealand medias cape and draw upon theories of communications, community development, social movements and feminist post- structuralism in order to examine the transformative potential of the station and the ongoing complex challenges that it faces. Drawing on analysis of interviews with fifty-one women at Plains FM, I explore the ways in which diverse women participants make sense of the station, their involvement within it, and its impact upon their communities. In particular, I highlight women participants' construction of Plains FM as a vehicle for access into the public sphere and for reworking hegemonic boundaries of inclusion/exclusion in both the media/broadcasting and social/cultural realms. I also explore the ways in which boundaries of inclusion/exclusion are negotiated within the station itself and highlight some of the challenges the station faces in its attempt to be an inclusive, diverse and empowering organisation. While this study focuses on one community media venture within a specific historical and discursive context, it contributes to the international body of theory of alternative media practice by offering rich insights into the symbolic challenges that community access media can generate and the complex process of attempting to create and sustain an alternative community development-driven media operation. Acknowledgements Researching and writing this thesis has been one of the most personally challenging and stimulating journeys on which I have ever embarked. At the best of times and the worst of times (the nail-biting anxieties and "are we there yet" moments) along the way I have been blessed with wonderful contributors, supporters and travelling companions. Without the staff, broadcasters and many other participants at Plains FM, there would have been no journey. My heartfelt thanks go to all at Plains who have contributed to this research by being interviewed, by supporting my development as a broadcaster, by working with me on radio shows, by reading and commenting on my work, by talking through issues arising from the research, and simply by participating at Plains FM and sustaining it as a community organisation. Particular thanks to our wonderful radio group and to Ann Charlotte for reading and offering feedback on my work. I am grateful to my principal supervisor Julie Wuthnow for her faith in me and the worth of my research topic, for her recommendation to turn what began as a Master's thesis into a PhD, and for her perseverance and unswerving confidence in my ability to complete what became a much larger and longer project than either of us envisioned. A special thank you also to my second supervisor Jessica Johnston, for jumping so enthusiastically on board mid-trip and injecting a fresh perspective and sharp eye to the writing process. To both Js, thank you for your thoughtful commentary, creative suggestions and constructive challenges, and for the sometimes rowdy therapeutic laughter at our meetings (yes, supervision can be fun!). Appreciations also to the other staff in the Gender Studies Department (Sara, Tiina, Annie and Nabila) who tolerated those noisy meetings so well and who offered welcome and timely words of encouragement along the way. Special mention must go to Julie Duthie, whose enthusiastic, unflappable and generous nature has warmed many a day. Also to my wonderful officemates and fellow thesis-travellers: Naomi Wilde, Lee Thompson, Jo Cobley, Cj Wells, Iris Duhn, Geraldine Treacher and Ruth Surtees. Particular thanks to Lee for our energising coffee sessions (or supervisions?) . For financial support, I am grateful to the New Horizons for Women Trust who awarded me the Society for Research on Women Research Award in 2000 and to the Gender Studies Department at the University of Canterbury for conference and fees grants. Warmest thanks to my parents for instilling in me a love of education, and to dearest friends, Cint, Gae, Jan and Lianne, for your unfailing love and support, and for happy days and evenings together, where I could forget my work and eat, drink and relax with you. Lastly, and most importantly, my deepest gratitude goes to Natalie, thesis supporter and assistant extraordinaire. Your interest, enthusiasm and suggestions have contributed in immeasurable ways to this research, as have your proofreading, reference checking, typing, formatting, cooking, supermarket shopping, takeaway buying, and dog-minding. Your good-humour, generosity and support have enabled me to complete and make the most of this thesis journey.

Fuelled with enthusiasm from the break and eager to enhance my Sixth Form Certificate Media Studies programme, I ask the Christchurch community access radio station, Plains FM, to help me set up and run a short term radio station from the school. Plains has recently begun offering a service using their 'mobile studio' where, instead of teachers like myself taking media students into their Christchurch studio to make stand-alone programmes, students develop

  • Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) and the Problem of Fast Fashion
    Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) and the Problem of Fast Fashion Kirsten Michelle Koch A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Otago. Abstract Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) This dissertation employs qualitative inductive research methods to address the ‘problem of global fast fashion’. Currently the global production of garments is 62 million tonnes per annum with the majority of production occurring in the world’s poorest countries with limited human rights and labour and environmental protections. From 1994 to 2018 following the easing of trade protections in Developing countries and internationally, there has been a 400% increase in the tonnage of clothing produced internationally. This figure is only escalating. As the level of global clothing waste grows following global clothing consumption rates, the drive to expand the market is fuelling the production of vast amounts of poor-quality textiles and resultant textile waste. In Developed countries 67% of textile waste is commercially on-sold as second-hand clothing to mostly Developing countries. The need for ever cheaper fashion production processes creates ethical concerns for global garment workers and those who sort and dispose of garment waste. Garment workers are 80% women and often women of colour living in Developing countries with few employment options. Meanwhile, textile practitioners and clothing designers in Westernised countries such as New Zealand, are experiencing heightened job precarity and an increasingly diminished space to exercise creativity, sustainable innovation, and social critique. The research interviews local Otago (Ōtākou) textile practitioners who upcycle clothing within their practice assessing how these localised creative actions connect to the larger global ‘slow fashion’ movement, including the ‘clothing upcycling’ movement.

  • In New Zealand a Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM 2015
    Powerful Music: Media, Culture and the ‘Third-way’ in New Zealand A Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM Matt Mollgaard School of Communication Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Auckland University of Technology A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 2 Abstract The New Zealand radio market is one of the most deregulated in the world. There are no limits on ownership, very few constraints on content and no quotas for local content. New Zealand’s radio environment reflects the strong neo-liberal principles that underpin the open, market-driven New Zealand economy. Political promises and public discussions about the creation of a nationwide commercial-free public radio service for young people had faltered against these principles in the early to mid-2000s with strong opposition from incumbent commercial radio interests decrying government interference in their commercial rights. It was in to this environment in 2005 that one half of the foreign- owned radio broadcasting duopoly introduced a radio network into the three main cities that played only New Zealand music – Kiwi FM. Within a year the network had failed to attract sufficient listeners and advertisers to stay on-air and was nearing closure. At this point the Labour government of the day stepped in to save the struggling network by giving it access to temporary free frequencies and funding to make programmes featuring New Zealand music. This was an extraordinary situation in that commercial radio in New Zealand is notable for its focus on producing only programming that will create significant profits for shareholders, rather than public service-type programming benefiting national arts and culture.

  • Commercial Radio Reaches 3.3 Million New Zealanders. Total NZ Survey 1 2020
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 1PM (NZST) THURS APR 23 2020 Commercial Radio Reaches 3.3 Million New Zealanders. Total NZ Survey 1 2020 The New Zealand Commercial Radio Industry released the S1 first quarter Radio Audience Data into the market today and it reveals that over 3.6 million New Zealanders were listening to radio every week as the country went into lockdown and over 3.3 million of those listen to commercial radio stations. The GfK Radio Audience Measurement survey contacts at least 14,000 respondents across New Zealand every year. The fieldwork for this survey ceased in late March just before the lockdown was announced. RBA CEO Jana Rangooni says “This is an unprecedented situation for the country and the Industry agreed at this time to suspend all fieldwork until at least late June. This means there will be no S2 Release as originally scheduled for June 25th. We hope to make a decision about options for the remainder of the year by the end of May.” NZME CEO Michael Boggs says Radio’s incredible value to New Zealanders has been reinforced in recent weeks, as it invariably does in times of crisis and uncertainty. “Radio, like all media has been focused on supporting our audiences through this period. Whether it be supporting the Government as a Civil Defence Emergency broadcast partner, delivering round the clock local, national and international news coverage or by keeping New Zealanders entertained and connected, Radio is delivering for audiences as it always does in times like these.” MediaWorks CEO Michael Anderson says that it's clear that New Zealanders are turning to Radio as a trusted source for news and entertainment especially through breaking events like Covid-19.
