I'm Ines Casillas from UC Santa Barbara and someone who's been researching and writing about Spanish language radio, in the U.S. specifically, for the past five years. So I'm very excited about the possibility of this caucus. So what we're going to do, we're going to start with two of us who do more U.S.-based, kind of, Spanish language radio, work our way to two others who do more border-related, and then end up in Latin America, okay? So my research highlights how U.S. Spanish language radio across the 20th century has really capitalized, very lucratively, on the conversation around immigration.

Lincoln and London: University of Nebraska Press. 288 pp. Political power struggles and communication systems have long been closely linked. These ties can be retraced as far back as messengers for political leaders in ancient times and have been the subject of much debate recently in regards to social media and their political implica- tions. Radio in Revolution by J. Justin Castro1 discusses this relationship from the perspective of the use of radio from the end of the Diaz reign to the beginning of the Cárdenas era. The book brings together the analysis of radio as a communication technology, mostly for military purposes, with that of radio as a mass media through broadcasting.

Acknowledgements There are a number of people who have aided this project, my development as a professional scholar, and my success at the University of Oklahoma. I owe a huge debt to Dr. Terry Rugeley, my advisor and mentor for the last four and a half years. From my first day at the University of Oklahoma he encouraged me to pursue my own interests and provided key insights into the historian’s craft. He went out of his way to personally introduce me to a number of archives, people, and cities in Mexico. He further acquainted me with other historians in the United States. Most importantly, he gave his time. He never failed to be there when I needed assistance and he always read, critiqued, and returned chapter drafts in a timely manner. Dr. Rugeley and his wife Dr. Margarita Peraza-Rugeley always welcomed me into their home, providing hospitality, sound advice, the occasional side job, and friendship. Thank you both. Other professors at OU helped guide my development as a historian, and their assistance made this dissertation a stronger work.

  • An Examination of Community Radio in Central Mexico
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXI: 1 (2012) J. PODBER Interactive Community Radio: An Examination of Community Radio in Central Mexico Jacob J. PODBER Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA Abstract: Today, many take for granted the explosion of newer communications technologies, such as Twitter and Facebook, which help people stay connected. However, “old fashioned” communications technology such as community radio continues to serve communities throughout the world (especially among poorer populations) and remains essential. Although radio predates the recent flood of trendier social media by nearly a century, it continues to connect people to one another and to their communities. This article examines how radio in Mexico serves community needs through educational and public service programming. In addition, my research looks at how Mexicans living in the US have used Mexican radio stations to stay connected with friends and family in Mexico, and the cultural phenomenon that allows for personal messages to be broadcast to an entire community. Keywords: Community radio, interactive media, communication technology, oral history, Mexico, media studies. 1. Introduction Recently, my research has concentrated on electronic media usage in rural Appalachia as I examined how the arrival of radio, television, and the Internet has affected the lives of people in this mountainous region of the US (Podber, 2008). This paper looks at how Mexicans living in the US use Mexican radio stations to stay connected with friends and family and the cultural phenomenon that allows for personal messages to be broadcast to an entire community. In addition, I examine how radio in Mexico serves community needs through educational and public service programming.

WORLD BANK Staff Working Paper No. 491 October 1981 THE EDUCATIONAL USE OF MASS MEDIA This volume is composed of an introduction and seven chapters, all of which are relevant to the educational use of mass media in Less Developed Countries (LDCs). Each chapter deals with one of the salient issues that LDCs educators and decision-makers inevitably encounter when they think about using mass media to further the country's education and development. These problems are: (1) the actual potentialities of audiovisual media, (2) the choice between or combination of network broadcasting and local broadcasting; (3) the use of educational mass media for curriculum improvement; (4) the impact of radio on education and development; (5) the choice of language(s) for instruction and radio-s role in language teaching; (6) the possible expansion of educational TV in the 1980s; and (7) the appropriateness of each medium for use in LDCs.

Texas Tech University, Adeniyi Bello, August 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this study reminds me of one of Langston Hughes (1902–1967) poems: Harlem (Collected Poems) in which he asks, “What happens to a dream deferred?” My dream of acquiring a doctoral degree was deferred for many years, but is now finally accomplished. I should, therefore, express my deep appreciation to the many kind-hearted people who helped me accomplish this dream. I begin by offering special gratitude to the members of my committee, Drs. Kenton Wilkinson, Erik P. Bucy, Todd Chambers, Patricia Maloney, and Bolanle Olaniran. I am grateful for their willingness to serve on the committee in spite of many other commitments. These are a special breed of academics with special attributes, and I was lucky to work with them. To Dr. Wilkinson, my mentor, I give immense gratitude for assisting me closely throughout the whole process, especially in reviewing and editing my research well beyond what was expected. He made me start early with my first chapter and the literature review, while he provided valuable insights that helped me in facing the challenges.
