ABSTRACT

We used on-site interviews and roundtable conversations with practitioners to uncover original evidence of ways in which two variant South African communities activated citizens’ involvement in radio co-production of content. We found dual analytical filters in state control of radio during two colonialisms and via contemporary policy regimes rooted in conceptualizations of participatory communication. Evidence of citizen-owners’ reversal of state’s radiophonic capabilities for repression and marginalization of voices added to literature on community radio in South Africa. Findings included policy and theoretical implications plus recommendations for the reformation of the African radio sector.

摘要

我们通过现场采访和与从业者的圆桌对话来揭示两个不同的南非社区激活公民参与广播内容联合制作的方式的原始证据。我们在两个殖民主义时期和通过植根于参与式传播概念化的当代政策制度中发现了国家对无线电的控制中的双重分析过滤器。公民所有者为了压制和边缘化声音而扭转国家无线电能力的证据添加到南非社区广播的文献中。调查结果包括政策和理论影响以及对非洲无线电部门改革的建议。
