“…The existence of RPH has also inadvertently contributed to a default policy assumption that people with disability are well-catered for by community broadcasting when in fact very little radio is produced by and for people with disability outside of the RPH network. Outside the RPH network, this research identified only 20 specialist radio programmes produced by people with disability, mainly but not exclusively in capital city stations (Stewart, 2019).…”

“…Research findings were returned to the community broadcasting sector in forms to which it could respond, and as aids to finding solutions informed by the needs and aspirations of people with disability. These outputs included a multi-part radio documentary (Stewart, 2019) and a draft access and inclusion policy to guide station-level actions (CBAA, 2018).…”

A significant body of literature examines the under-representation of people with disability in the media. In news and fictional portrayals, people with disability are often defined by disability first, their personhood second, perpetuating stereotypes of people with disability as different. Activists attempt to change how media portray people with disability. Less well-considered are the challenges of media participation. This article argues that the presence of people with disability in the spaces that comprise media institutions is also a necessary condition for social change, not just improved representation and participation. However, even in Australian community broadcasting, a sector founded in a normative policy commitment to democratising media participation, people with disability encounter a range of barriers to accessing the resources and spaces of community broadcasting. The Australian case study reported here supports broad consideration of how listening to the views of community broadcasting participants with disability contributes to improving their media presence.

“…Nearly 3 billion people worldwide listen to the radio weekly, making it one of the most powerful communication mediums (Stewart, 2019). People hear advertisements via radio at home, in cars, and in public spaces, which motivates businesses to invest ever more in them (Götting, 2022;Guttmann, 2022).…”

ObjectiveThe goal of the study was to find out if, in a society where there is a large community of people for whom the official state language is a second language, they prefer to listen to state-language radio advertisements in the same performance style as listeners for whom the official state language is their first language.MethodAn experiment was conducted in Estonia, with two groups: those who spoke Estonian as their first language and those who spoke Russian as their first language and Estonian as their second. Both groups listened to Estonian-language radio advertisements presented by various spokespeople, half of which were performed in a calm style (low arousal) and half in an energetic style (high arousal). They then rated the likability of each performance.ResultsThe results showed that both groups preferred the calm style but there were significant differences in the scores: the first group gave the calm style significantly higher scores than the second group, while the latter scored the energetic style more highly.ConclusionKnowing the advertising style preferences in a society where people have different first languages may allow for better targeting of advertising.
