"The broad purpose of this study undertaken between March and June 2010 was to document the working of two rural community radio (CR) stations (owned and managed by community-based organizations) and two campus-based CR stations that have completed at least one year of broadcasting. We examined the origins of the CR stations, the philosophy of the organizations owning and managing the stations, and also indicators such as their notions of community, levels of community listenership/participation, community mobilization practices, financial and social sustainability, appropriate content, capacity-building of marginalized social groups and incorporation of participatory monitoring and evaluation methods in the overall operations of the CR stations."
