Micro Radio became a lightening rod for the emerging Media Activism
and Reform Movement. Like the environmental movement in the 1960s
and 70s that focused on specific issues like nuclear power, the
Media Activism Movement discovered a significant formative issue in
micro radio at the turn of the millennium. This book is a close
examination of the struggle over micro radio. Throughout this
research micro radio is viewed as a site of social activity, a
unique cultural and historical bond where ideas about the
relationship between media and democracy are explored. This work is
the first to spotlight this emerging social movement and uses
critical historical analysis to provide a description of it. The
information in this book shows the struggle over micro radio as the
most recent manifestation of a growing social movement, a movement
of media activism and reform. As local people took to the airwaves,
illegally broadcasting the frivolous to the serious, theoretical
concepts such as localism and public access suddenly became
grounded in a real world radio show. Micro radio broadcasters were
able to demonstrate what is left out of most mainstream media. They
showed what could happen when a diverse public is allowed to access
the most universal telecommunications of the day. This look at
micro radio will be valuable to communications students who are
interested in the strategies behind media and social movements,
alternative media, and news media practices.
From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the values that
shape our realities, Globalization has affected nearly every aspect
of modern life on this planet. Contributors to this book suggest
that globalization is supplanting Cold War ideology and they
critique mainstream news media coverage of civil disobedience. They
further explore the "new activism" of social movement groups who
use performance and media to appeal directly to the people in
promoting their causes, fundraising, and recruitment.
