community radio movement  

Definición

  • Bertolt Brecht lamented in the late 1920s that radio had been reduced to only an “acoustical department store.” He pleaded for turning radio into “something really democratic” by making it a medium of two-way communication, enabling true participation by citizens in public affairs. In many ways, the history of the struggle for community radio in India, which culminated in November 2006 in a new Indian government policy permitting community radio, has been an effort to realize his plea to use radio to build a robust civil society.
