Abstract

What is broadcasting for development? What methodological approaches have characterized the praxis of broadcasting for development in Malawi? This exposition critiques, with reference to the notion of participation as expounded by Paulo Freire, some of Malawi\'s broadcasting for development initiatives designed and implemented since the country became a multiparty democracy in 1993. It explores the field of broadcasting for development by highlighting the role played by the Los Banos School of the 1960s, which, the article contends, was responsible for laying the theoretical foundation of the field of development communication through broadcasting; thus providing a springboard from which modern scholars and development planners have rethought the role of communication in development. The study concludes by proposing that authentic participation is probably an ongoing process during which community members are allowed to defy and contest the standard or official notions of development and participation. Key words: development communication, development broadcasting, development, journalism, participatory broadcasting, educational broadcasting, radio for development Journal of Social Development in Africa Vol.20(1) 2005: 77-105

马拉维独立后参与广播促进发展倡议的做法

什么是广播促发展?马拉维广播促进发展的做法的特点是什么方法方法?本文引用保罗·弗莱雷(Paulo Freire)所阐述的参与概念，对马拉维自1993年成为多党民主国家以来设计和实施的一些广播促进发展倡议进行了批评。本文通过强调20世纪60年代洛斯巴诺斯学派的作用，探讨了广播促进发展的领域，文章认为，该学派负责奠定广播发展传播领域的理论基础;从而为现代学者和发展规划者重新思考传播在发展中的作用提供了一个跳板。该研究的结论是，真正的参与可能是一个持续的过程，在这个过程中，社区成员被允许蔑视和质疑发展和参与的标准或官方概念。关键词:发展传播、发展广播、发展、新闻、参与式广播、教育广播、发展广播。《非洲社会发展杂志》第20卷(1)2005:77-105
