“…According to Dagron (2001), community radio is a vibrant community broadcasting system to enhance pluralism and diversity. It is a truly people's radio that perceives listeners not only as receivers and consumers, but also as active citizens and creative producers of media content.…”

RESEARCHCommunity radio: a community media module for empowerment of rural women ARPITA SHARMA AND S.K. KASHYAP This study was conducted with the aim of developing a needs-based community radio module for women empowerment. A sample of 1000 respondents was selected through census method in Jawaharnagar, Shantipuri, and Gokulnagar villages of Rudrapur Block in Udham Singh Nagar District of Uttarakhand. Findings indicated that rural women wanted information on the following topics through community radio programing: methods of purifying water, weaning food, immunization, HIV/AIDS, and government programs. Participatory community radio programs were developed on these issues, and then their effectiveness were assessed through knowledge testing. Findings from the test were used to develop eight modules for community radio: (1) Rapport building, (2) General information and need assessment (3) Prioritization of needs (4) Development of knowledge test (5) Design and develop CR program on women empowerment (6) Recording and editing of CR program (7) Broadcasting community radio program (8) Post-knowledge test.

“…Russell comments that "Marcos is black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel [and so on]" [36], illustrating the ability of any figurehead on the Internet to be able to mould themselves to reflect other struggles. Similarly, in ICTs and development, although there is no direct reference to Goffman, there can be several interpretations, such as the Kayapo Indians in Brazil mentioned by [37], who underplay their contracts with mining and logging companies to avoid alienation from international environmental organisations, and respondents in telecentres surveys who state that their main use of the centres is work-related, although observations illustrate this is not the case [38].…”

The liminal role of the information intermediary in community multimedia centres

Donor and government funded Internet kiosks, telecentres and community multimedia centres continue to be implemented in developing countries, yet many remain underutilised, and subsequently shut down. This paper argues that a large part of this is because not enough attention is paid to the information intermediaries -the centre or kiosk manager and staff, whose responsibility it is to translate government or donor policy at field level, and make ICTs more accessible to the public. There appears to be insufficient research on these critical individuals. Drawing on the ideas of contradiction and conflict from Giddens's structuration theory, and Goffman's concept of performance, we present the position of information intermediaries at a donor funded community multimedia centre in rural India. The analysis illustrates that the intermediaries stand on a shaky bridge between various groups of stakeholders. Firstly, they are somewhat condescending towards the community they are working with. Secondly, they are in turn regarded by their superiors as the bottom of the (developmentalist) pyramid. Thirdly, they encounter contradiction and conflict with other stakeholder groups. Fourth, they manipulate their performance according to the circumstances required. While information intermediaries play a critical role in facilitating public access to ICTs, they can also hinder it, and we call for greater care paid to these intermediaries when such centres are implemented.

“…It provides communications which are consistent and based on the socio-cultural context [5], as well as beneficiary-oriented [7,84]. Community radio targets either a homogeneous or heterogeneous group of rural/urban or marginalised people within a locality or specific geographical area [7,85]. It has an extensive reach and is human, interactive, as well as community-focused [82].…”

Communicating Sustainability: Using Community Media to Influence Rural People’s Intention to Adopt Sustainable Behaviour

Sustainable development is a big challenge for developing countries, due to lack of effective communication about sustainability to the rural population. This paper aims at building a theoretically and statistically sound model to communicate sustainability more effectively in rural areas in order to achieve sustainable development. To this end, the constructs and items of the hypothesised model are identified, based on a focus group discussion and backed by the literature reviewed. Both partial least squares and covariance-based structural equation modelling approaches were used to test the hypotheses and validate the model against multiple indices after analysing survey data collected from 300 community radio listeners in Bangladesh. It was found that the unique media characteristics of community radio positively increased the acceptability of sustainability communications, which in turn affects the behavioural determinants (popular theory: attitudes, self-efficacy belief and social norms) and changed the intention to adopt sustainable behaviour. Example cases from around the world also support the statistically sound model. The paper also provides implications and directions for future research.
