"This study was conducted between April 2018 and July 2019 with the aim of assessing the impact of Studio Kalangou’s radio broadcasts on women’s rights and empowerment in Niger. It comprised: A content analysis of approximately 60 hours of radio programmes broadcast in 2018 by Studio Kalangou in
...
Niger; A series of 40 focus groups, 20 conducted before, and 20 after, the programmes were broadcast; Two knowledge exchange workshops in Niger with representatives from the media, civil society organisations, NGOs, and donors, held before and after the programmes were broadcast; A third and final knowledge exchange workshop, on completion of the research [...] Radio remains a main source of information in Niger and, based on the data collected during the study, is accessed primarily by mobile phone. Use of social media to access sources of information, including radio, remains limited. Whilst radio remains the main source of information amongst older focus group respondents, younger participants demonstrate little interest in radio, preferring social media. A generational divide exists between older and younger listeners. Older listeners are adamant about what youth should be doing, what they should like and what they should enjoy listening to. This does not chime with what young people want or are interested in. Female empowerment, according to the broadcasts, is a long-term process and affects women as part of a group. In contrast, according to listeners, empowerment must affect their daily lives and be on a personal, more micro level. Women-focused programmes, whilst necessary and beneficial, may serve to isolate information and themes as they depart from the normal expectations of a male-dominated society. Gender equality, which already emerges in Studio Kalangou’s mainstream broadcasts, needs to be encouraged and extended throughout the schedule to impact all listeners. There is evidence of changes in behaviour amongst listeners as a result of Studio Kalangou broadcasts. Improvements in general and specific awareness of subject matter and themes emerge strongly. There are differences in editorial priorities between what Studio Kalangou offers and what the listeners want." (Pages 4-5)

"Son los jóvenes de 11 a 25 años los que consumen más radio en sus celulares (52% a nivel nacional y 60% en Lima); quedando demostrado que el celular no solo es un medio de comunicación entre personas, sino que además es un medio de distracción en la rutina diaria. En el segmento de 26 a 50 a

os, si bien es cierto es importante el consumo de radio en celulares, dista mucho del grupo de 11 a 25 años (39% a nivel nacional y 48% en Lima). A partir de los 51 años el alcance decae a menos del 20% a nivel nacional, ya que les cuesta trabajo adaptarse a estos dispositivos y se sienten más cómodos con los aparatos convencionales de radio. La cantidad de emisoras radiales que operan en el país y su variada programación hacen de este medio una alternativa muy segmentada para los anunciantes, donde encontramos formatos especializados por géneros musicales e informativos: el género de emisoras Mix donde predomina la música actual como el reggaetón, la salsa y el latin pop, es el más sintonizado en Lima por jóvenes de 11 a 25 años alcanzando el 63% durante la semana."

r que l’enquête aurait pu révéler des résultats bien différents si elle avait concerné l’ensemble des régions du Burkina. Nous aurions vu apparaître bien d’autres spécificités locales et peut-être quelques thèmes d’intérêt nouveaux. C’est pourquoi, au-delà des résultats spécifiques à chaque région, l’une des conclusions majeures de ce travail est l’impérieuse nécessité de prendre en considération les spécificités locales des différentes régions. Ceci non seulement afin de retenir l’attention de ces jeunes ruraux mais aussi afin de ne pas les amener à fuir l’écoute de la radio. Ces spécificités concernent: - D’une part les activités économiques locales (importance donnée à l’agriculture ou à l’élevage, présence d’activités d’orpaillage, proximité avec des grands pôles économiques comme Ouagadougou ou proximité avec des pays à fort dynamisme économique comme la Côte d’Ivoire ou le Ghana, etc.), Et d’autre part la situation sécuritaire. En ce sens, les informations transmises et le mode de communication ne peut pas être totalement uniforme. Enfin, à travers les réponses à nos questions et à travers les analyses ressorties ci-dessus, il est très clairement apparu que les jeunes sont en attente de médias plus proches d’eux, de leurs préoccupations et de leur réalité. Ils ont partagé leur souhait de participer à des émissions de radio et même de recevoir, dans leurs villages, les studios de production pour réaliser de temps en temps des émissions de radio directement chez eux. Se faire entendre et entendre d’autres jeunes qui leur ressemblent est un vœu partagé par les jeunes que nous avons rencontré au cours de cette enquête." (Conclusions, page 41)

a finalidad, propone un marco conceptual de la labor radiofónica desde una postura multi-paradigmática que reformula objetos, concepciones y metodologías para el estudio de la comunicación en radio [...] esta obra revisa el impacto de la tecnología como posibilidad para las variaciones en los patrones y formas de locución y producción, el fenómeno del involucramiento de intérpretes menos especializados y más cercanos a la convivencia diaria, lo que trasluce un alejamiento de la tendencia esteticista de promoción de “voces bonitas” para alternativamente buscar “voces reflexivas o analíticas”; igualmente se abordan las experiencias que trastocan la construcción tradicional de un guion radiofónico y fundamentan sus opiniones a partir del tratamiento de la información disponible en la web. Adicionalmente este trabajo reflexiona sobre la diversidad de entornos y espacios en los que se desarrolla la actividad radiofónica, marcados por la diversidad de herramientas que han facilitado la difusión, sistematización y disponibilidad de contenidos con un coste marginal. Esta nueva realidad, que hace unos pocos años era impensable, se ha tornado hoy cotidiana y ha permitido que la legislación vigente en la mayoría de países no sea un límite para la participación de actores sociales que no cuentan con los permisos ni los recursos para acceder al uso del espectro radioeléctrico (aunque no sea esta la óptima experiencia para la participación). En el caso de América Latina y el Caribe, estos modelos han favorecido enormemente a los medios comerciales en detrimento de los medios comunitarios o populares que han encontrado en el uso de Internet como el espacio de convivencia propicio para disminuir esas barreras, pero sin que en muchos casos cuenten con la especialización necesaria."

"Younger audiences are different from older groups not just in what they do, but in their core attitudes in terms of what they want from the news. Young people are primarily driven by progress and enjoyment in their lives, and this translates into what they look for in news. They still need and want
...
news to connect their world to the world – and fulfil an array of different social and personal needs – but they don’t necessarily see the traditional media as the best or only way to do that. News media is now competing for attention with myriad other distractions, and there is a high level of ‘background’ or ‘indirect’ exposure to news (through social media, other online conversations, documentaries and TV shows, etc.). They don’t need to seek it out, news comes to them. Finally, much of the excitement and gravitas for younger people is on the periphery of the news space (infotainment, lifestyle, cultural, grassroots, bloggers and vloggers). All this means there is a disconnect; traditional news media no longer seems as relevant or as dominant when it comes to news content. In a simplified way, how news brands and young people view the role and value of news is different: Traditional news brands see news as: what you should know. Young audiences see news as: what you should know (to an extent), but also what is useful to know, what is interesting to know, and what is fun to know. And the role of news for young people appears primarily individualistic; it’s about what it can do for them as individuals – rather than for society as a whole. While it’s true that the industry is moving towards producing more content of this kind, most traditional news brands are still not associated with being useful, interesting or fun. The study also revealed that the differences in the relationships young people have with the news depend on three key areas: the moment, the person and the medium. Four key news moments (dedicated, updated, time-filler, and intercepted) are described in detail, as are four types of news consumer (Heritage News Consumers, Dedicated News Devotees, Passive News Absorbers, and Proactive News Lovers). The impact of the various media is also investigated, revealing key roles, usage, pros and cons of platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and podcasts." (Publisher description)

astute consumers who expect that the media deliver balanced reporting. In addition, media are expected to play a positive and constructive role in society. According to the Syrians interviewed, this is particularly needed regarding conflict resolution and accountability of the political actors. Moreover, Syrian (both audiences and journalists) express a need not only for crisis-related news, but also stories related to everyday life. Syrian media professionals have a long way to go to fulfil the high expectations Syrians have. From the in-depth interviews it is apparent that currently Syrians are very critical – and even negative – about the role and content of media organisations." (Executive summary)

Yet more Africans see the media’s freedom to investigate and criticize government as increasing (43%) than declining (32%). Countries vary widely in their assessments, from 80% of Gambians who see more media freedom to 66% of Gabonese who see less. Africans are generally dissatisfied with the state of the media. Of those who say freedom is increasing in their country, a majority (54%) support increased government regulations. However, among those who assess freedom as decreasing, a majority (54%) support media freedom over government regulations. Radio remains the top source for mass-media news, though its dominance is declining: 42% report using it every day, down 5 percentage points from 2011/2013. Television is a daily news source for about one in three Africans (35%), and is the top source for news in nine countries. Only 7% read newspapers daily. Reliance on the Internet and social media for news is increasing rapidly. Almost one in five Africans say they use the Internet (18%) and/or social media (19%) daily for news. Use of the Internet and social media for news is significantly higher among younger, urban, and better-educated populations, and there are important differences between countries and regions regarding access."

cess the news. The main platform for media use remains the television, while the use of the internet and online social networks grows in the media habits of Europeans. The direct relationship between readers and publishers is weakening with the exception of Nordic countries, where users prefer to access news online directly. Second, comparative data on trust in the news media show the decline in general. Still, trust seems to be higher in traditional news media (radio on the first place and then TV), while lower in the online news media. A large number of users remain concerned about their ability to separate what is real and fake on the internet, and about the impact of disinformation on democracy generally. Third, a significant number of users are worn out about information overload while proportion of users avoiding the news steadily increases. It should be acknowledged at the same time, that there seem to be remarkable differences between countries as well as demographic categories (e.g. young and older, more and less educated) within these patterns."
