"In Bolivia community, radio has tended to support local community interests rather than discourses of the state, non-governmental organizations, or corporations. Yet, as the state has lately appropriated the language of community radio activists, ironically there is now a vulnerability that was not there when Bolivia was ruled by authoritarian governments. With the state establishing alternative radio channels to disrupt bottom-up interlinking of community radio stations, the game has changed. The structural and symbolic appropriation of community radio may make the state so deeply intermingled with its potential opposition that it would be impossible to separate one from the other. In addition, community and alternative radio in Bolivia face significant challenges arising from digitization." (Conclusion, page 299)
