Community Radio and Empowerment
Community radio is supposed to empower the marginalised and give them a voice. Given the lack of objective outputs by which to measure the outcome, it is necessary to look at the subjective aspects of its impact. A study of short-lived community radio project in West Bengal illustrates how it became so central to the self-representation of the people and how it managed to overcome the divide between the programme and the listener.
