This book explores the state of community radio, a significant
independent media movement that began about two decades ago, in
different parts of South Asia. The volume outlines the
socioeconomic and historical contexts for understanding the
evolution and functioning of community radio in an increasingly
globalised media environment. It provides a ring-side view of how
various countries in South Asia have formulated policies that
enabled the emergence of this third sector of broadcasting (public
and private being the other two) through radio, rendering the media
ecology in the region more pluralistic and diverse. The chapters in
the volume, interspersed by practitioner perspectives, discuss a
range of key issues related to community radio: radio policies,
NGOisation of community radio, spectrum management and
democratisation of technology, disasters/emergencies, gender
issues, sustainability, and conflicts. One of the first of its
kind, this volume will appeal to scholars and researchers of
community media and independent media studies, cultural studies, as
well as sociology and social anthropology, and South Asian studies.
