ABSTRACT

This article outlines the early history of the Australian community radio sector. It focuses on three of the country’s oldest stations – Radio Adelaide, 4ZZZ and 3CR – to document the establishment and growth of the sector over the past 50 years. Two theoretical lenses are identified from the literature on Australian community broadcasting, loosely categorized as citizens’ media and empowerment media, and these are evident in the narratives of the case study stations. A third framework – social movement theory – is proposed for further understanding the value of community broadcasting and its contributions to the wider media landscape.

五十年来的抵抗和代表：澳大利亚社区电台的历史叙述。

摘要

本文概述了澳大利亚社区广播界的早期历史。它着重介绍了该国三个最古老的电台-阿德莱德电台，4ZZZ和3CR，以记录该行业过去50年的建立和发展情况。从有关澳大利亚社区广播的文献中确定了两种理论视角，大致分为公民媒体和赋权媒体，这在案例研究台的叙述中很明显。为了进一步理解社区广播的价值及其对更广泛的媒体领域的贡献，提出了第三个框架-社会运动理论。
