Kenyan Community Radio: Players, Production Processes and Participation

Rose N. Kimani

Bayreuth: University of Bayreuth, Doctoral Thesis (2017), ix, 311 pp.

"Community broadcasting is known as the third tier of broadcasting, occupying the space between commercial and state broadcasters. In Kenya, this sector has been active only since 2004. Despite its recognised value in other contexts across the globe, community broadcasting is still struggling to fin ... d footing in the Kenyan media landscape, and there is a paucity of research on how this sector actually operates – its structures, content and audiences. This work therefore explores the roles and relevance of community radio in the vibrant Kenyan media landscape. Using a complementary mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, three community radio stations with different social contexts, funding and management structures were investigated. The research focused on the ideas and actors behind community radio, its funding and management structures, content, content production processes, listenership patterns and participation practices. Brought to light was that this sector navigates legislation and funding challenges, and juggles between global and local ideals about community broadcasting, most distinct of which are democracy and development. The local, the national and the global inform the ideas under which Kenyan community broadcasting operates, and these ideas are interpreted differently in each context. Communities interact with each of the stations based on their particular local contexts. Not only do they listen to community broadcasters according to specific daily rhythms, but they also mobilise themselves into social formations – most often fan groups and clubs – as a way of collective participation in the life of the station. Contrary to much radio audience research, this work shows that listenership is a distinct activity and participation in and through the media is not only an individual endeavour, but a collective undertaking drawing on pre-existent social solidarities. Community radio content addresses its listeners as different kinds of communities and publics at specific times of the day, and they respond accordingly. As well, there is content transformation across diverse media platforms, which may be a step towards new genres. Despite working within different and hybrid journalistic cultures, the producers play similar roles to their communities across the three contexts including mediation, mobilisation, space-creation, information and entertainment. Of these roles, mobilisation is a strength of community radio. The research reveals the intertwined nature of state, media and audience relationships, and argues for the fact that there are no homogenous audiences even at a micro-level, and that the affective and democratic functions of media participation are intricately linked to each other."

Voces de rebeldía: Mujeres, radios comunitarias, movimiento social. una mirada desde la experiencia

Esperanza del Carmen González Valentín

Puebla: Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla, Master Thesis (2017), 123 pp.

"La emergencia de las radios comunitarias se da al interior de un proceso comunitario y colectivo de toma de conciencia de las agresiones institucionales por parte del Estado; de los intentos de despojo del territorio por parte de empresas trasnacionales, de la desinformación de los medios comercia ... les y de opresión política. En este proceso se articulan diferentes actores, entre ellos el movimiento de la CNTE, detonando un movimiento sui generis como fue el de la APPO en 2006, la lucha del 2016, y que dejarían su impronta hasta la fecha. La paulatina apropiación de esos medios, va sacando de las sombras una cotidianidad local y regional culturalmente densa y vital que potencia a hombres, mujeres niños y ancianos, y que se orienta a otros horizontes civilizatorios. Y va nutriendo y se va nutriendo de los movimientos sociales. Sin embargo, el patriarcado que históricamente ha determinado la sumisión de la mujer, la subordinación del espacio doméstico al espacio público, la negación de la participación de las mujeres en dicho espacio público, se hace visible también en la forma de funcionar de las radios comunitarias, con mayor énfasis en el ámbito rural que en el ámbito urbano. La mayoría de las mujeres entrevistadas, fuimos expulsadas de los propios procesos que encaminamos, expulsadas por la violencia que en esos espacios se reproduce y se controla. Espacios que, si cumplen con una función social, que están ahí siendo contestarías para otras causas, pero no para defender la vida e integridad de sus mujeres. Ocurre que mujeres que habían ya problematizado los roles de género, gracias a la influencia de maestros, al hecho de haber salido de sus comunidades, al rechazo al prototipo de mujer vivido en el hogar, se encuentran que, en las radios, que pretenden subvertir un sistema injusto, se reproducen las relaciones de género machistas. Eso no les impide seguir luchando a contracorriente en un proceso que va reconfigurando sus identidades e impactando las identidades masculinas. Al finalizar esta investigación, arribe junto a una serie de reflexiones que me hacen abrir la mirada con mayor profundidad. Iniciaré compartiendo desde una mira en perspectiva que si bien la situación de las mujeres en los medios de comunicación se presenta como un objeto estereotipado y cubriendo las cuotas de género que se exige en la sociedad."
