Results of a survey (N = 143) of radio professionals found men view current employment patterns within the radio industry to be equitable, while women found radio hiring practices to be discriminatory. White men were more likely than other groups to blame women for their own lack of representation, but perceived the underrepresentation of people of color as a systemic problem. Higher levels of system justification were positively related to higher levels of stereotyping.

The article broadly reaffirms the importance of community radio in Africa in democratizing media access, more interestingly by using radio listening clubs in the production process and participation. The study used focus group discussions, participant observation and analysis of radio programs produced by members of Chanco Community Radio listening clubs. The study found that although spaces in which communities participate are controlled by experts, community radio and radio listening clubs have emerged as spaces for marginalized voices to share knowledge, and experiences about climate change and influence change.

The Journal of Radio and Audio Media has had quite a few great symposia in recent years, and we look forward to more in the future. We’re currently reviewing articles for our fall 2023 issue about the 100th Anniversary of the BBC, and please check the BEA Web site for our current symposium call, “Exploring the History and Contemporary Trends in Black Radio,’ with guest editors Tia C.M. Tyree and Melvin L. Williams. Having worked in commercial radio and in university environments advising student radio, there’s a special personal appreciation as editor of the journal for the kind of research JRAM publishes. I hope you will likewise enjoy the variety of research we have included in this issue, within the symposium articles as well as in a variety of other recently accepted studies. A reminder also that we have a backlog of research that was accepted and published online first, and with this and future print editions, we’re working to catch up and not have articles have to wait so long before being added to a printed version of the journal. With so much good research to read, we work within this introduction to help you navigate the journal by highlighting much of the work that follows. We start the non-symposium section of this issue with the work of Teresa Piñeiro-Otero and Daniel Martín-Pena. Their study says that today, in its new digital essence, the medium of radio has acquired materiality and multimedia capabilities through the incorporation of texts, images, videos, and more. Its adaptation to social networks and haptic devices has contributed interactivity and tactility to the listening experience. In this context, what is the essence of the medium? Piñeiro-Otero and Martín-Pena (2023) analyze the presence and use that European mainstream radios give to Instagram, asking, on the quintessential visual platform, European stations become visible, but are they still auditory? Next, Andrea Hanáčková brings a disturbing report from Central Europe, from the background of postsocialist public service media (Hanáčková, 2023).

The study adopted a qualitative approach using focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and reflexive thematic analysis. The ten-step participatory planning and action model to involve the community in the social change process is employed as the theoretical framework for this article. The study found that Radio Peace’s COVID-19 communication intervention is participatory due to the involvement of listeners in its programming. Also, local narratives and values were considered in designing locally relevant COVID-19 interventions through the audience’s access to the station’s activities. We suggest that dominant narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic be adapted to local realities by recognizing marginalized voices through listener involvement and access to local community radio stations.","PeriodicalId":44611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radio & Audio Media","volume":"30 1","pages":"99 - 118"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47575172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Symposium Introduction: Multilingual, Multicultural, Migrant, and Diasporic Radio, Audio, and Podcasting","authors":"Anne F. MacLennan, Masudul Biswas","doi":"10.1080/19376529.2023.2206259","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19376529.2023.2206259","url":null,"abstract":"Multilingual and multicultural broadcasting and podcasting have expanded with the expansion of diverse populations and diasporas globally. Limited access to many representations of newer and older non-hegemonic communities in mainstream media often means that the access to programming in other languages is produced by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), community radio stations, podcasts, and smaller outlets such as online radio. Occasionally, there are specific designations for alternative sources that are recognized and regulated such as Canadian ethic radio stations (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission [CRTC], 1999). Increasingly, the internet provides new sources of nonregulated alternatives to broadcasting, such as internet broadcasting and podcasts. Karim H. Karim explains that “The decentralized nature of online networks stands in contrast to the highly regulated and controlled model of broadcasting. . .. [are]relatively inexpensive, and easy to operate. They facilitate nonhierarchical organization as well as one-person operations, and later communication as opposed to the generally rigid top-down structures of the mass media” (Karim, 2012, p. 167). Sherry Yu goes further to argue to “For a functioning democracy in an increasingly multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multilingual society, the public sphere and the discourse produced and disseminated within that sphere is expected to be multicultural and multi-ethnic, if not multilingual” (Yu, 2016, p. 349). Concerns about communities, cultural representations, and information frequently provide the impetus for the creation of alternatives as argued by Tokunbo Ojo to combat “misrepresentation, under-representation and invisibility of [racialized]. . . minorities in the mainstream media. They are meant to reflect the racial and cultural diversity of Canada through the reportage of their own issues. They provide room for cultural expressions in the sense that cultural folklore and languages are regularly used in reporting and programming” (Ojo, 2006, p. 351). The need to find places in the media for non-hegemonic representation surfaces in different ways depending on the needs and regulations that expand or restrict broadcasting and other media globally.
