This book explores how community radio contributes to social
change. Community radio remains a unique communication platform
under digital capitalism, arguably capable of expanding the project
of media democratisation. Yet there is a lack of in-depth analysis
of community radio experience, and a dearth of understanding of its
functionality as an actively transformative tool for greater equity
in society. This project combines the theoretical positions of the
political economy of communication with a citizen's media
perspective in order to interrogate community radio's democratic
potential. By presenting case studies of two radio stations in
Melbourne and Lospalos, and applying multiple research methods, the
book reveals community radio's amplification of media
participation, communication rights, counter-hegemony and media
power - in effect, its distinct regenerative voice.
