This book investigates the fundamental tenets of community radio as
a movement through an examination of the experiences of six
contemporary Irish community radio stations. The recent development
of a strong community radio movement in Ireland provides a wealth
of concrete experience which informs new insights into both the
theory and the practice of community broadcasting generally. Ten
years of academic research, illustrated by examples presented in
the words of community radio activists, enables an examination of
the following crucial issues: the concept of community and its
construction through communication; the role and meaning of public
participation in a mass medium; and the creation of the multi-flows
of communication.Recent calls for theoretical perspectives on
community media illustrate a gap in academic literature, which this
book addresses. Current interest in new media, radical media, the
human right to communicate, public sphere theory and New Social
Movements raise questions that the experience of Irish community
radio may help to answer. New frameworks for the evaluation of
community broadcasters on their own terms are offered and those
should provide useful to community media activists and researchers
alike.
