“…Now the state has invented a new media formula as "radio stations with community, indigenous participation". In 2004, the government commission of indigenous affairs obtained broadcasting permits for three low-power stations (Castells-Talens et al, 2009).…”

AbstractPurpose -This study aims to analyze the impact of radio advertisements on urban commuters towards buying behaviour in retail stores and attempts to determine the role of radio advertising on dissemination of information on the sales promotions. The impact of radio advertisements on the store choice and buying preferences are analyzed based on empirical investigation. Design/methodology/approach -This study is based on the empirical investigation of urban commuters who acquire information on sales promotion by listening radio advertisements during travel time. The sample respondents selected for the study frequently commute to their workplaces from the residential areas located in the southern, northern and suburban habitats in Mexico City. Data were collected by means of personal interviews during

“…So-called 'community radio' in Sri Lanka is unusual in the fact that it is 'owned' by the state broadcaster, rather than by local communities (see also Castells-Talens et al 2009 in this issue). This has prevented radio stations like KCR from becoming independent, and involves many bureaucratic processes that are not conducive to innovation.…”

This article uses the example of a mobile mixed-media platform -a converted three-wheeled autorickshaw -in Sri Lanka in order to explore whether and how content-creation activities can enable marginalised communities to have a voice. It draws upon research into participatory content-creation activities conducted in 15 locations across India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The main findings are: the need to pay attention to context when thinking about what might be locally appropriate, relevant, and beneficial in terms of participatory content creation; the benefits that can be gained from creatively reaching out to and engaging marginalised groups and encouraging a diversity of voices; the usefulness of locally produced content for generating local debate around local issues; and the benefits of encouraging participation at all stages of content creation, so that content is locally meaningful and might lead to positive social change. IntroductionIn this article, we explore participatory content creation as a tool for communication for development. We focus on the e-Tuktuk initiative in Sri Lanka, which constitutes an unusual example of a mobile mixed-media platform that integrates a laptop, printer, telephone, loudspeakers, and data projector in a three-wheeled auto-rickshaw. The e-Tuktuk supports outreach activities by the Kothmale Community Multimedia Centre (CMC) and its surrounding communities. A range of content creation and distribution activities were researched between 2006 and 2008 at a number of sites as part of the Finding a Voice research project. Our observation of the e-Tuktuk and other participatory content-creation activities emphasises two factors of particular relevance for this article: first, how content-creation activities can enable marginalised communities to have a voice; and second, the need to pay attention to local contexts and related debates during such activities.These findings are drawn from the research undertaken during Finding a Voice at 15 sites across India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. 1 The research team investigated how information and communications technology (ICT) and media centres might enable marginalised, disadvantaged communities to be heard in the public sphere. All the research sites offered a basic computer infrastructure and some Internet connectivity. Research sites included telecentres; community multimedia, radio, and video centres; and community library or learning centres.Every local context differed in terms of local mediascape, communicative ecology, culture, geography, history, and organisational structure. In each of the 15 research sites -including Kothmale CMC -a community member was trained and supported to conduct action -research on content-creation activities undertaken by local communities in collaboration with the research site.

“…Re-categorizing this movement as the NGO-ification of community radio, Manyozo (2009) argues that, while communities are given control of the technological aspects of broadcasting, access to their own community is always “mediated and negotiated through donor funding” (p. 9). A growing base of community radio case study evidence supports this position (Castells-Talens et al, 2009; Nassanga, 2009b; Salazar, 2009), suggesting a need for further research on the impact that donor funding structures are having on the ethos of participatory broadcasting.…”

Deconstructing the community radio model: Applying practice to theory in East Africa

Community radio is often theorized as being (1) independent from political and economic influence and (2) a platform for the meaningful engagement of marginalized populations traditionally excluded by its private and commercial cousins. Contrasting this theoretical model against the reality of practice, this study argues that the theorized benefits of community radio are unlikely to be realized given the reality of donor, rather than community, funding structures. Voices from 64 in-depth interviews reveal a community radio environment in East Africa that is significantly influenced by the interests – both political and economic – of external donors. Rather than engendering meaningful participation in media-making, this study also demonstrates that donor funding has caused some communities to assume recipient roles in the communication process.
