Abstract
In this article, we discuss the role that pirate radio played in a debate regarding the community-oriented sector of broadcasting and in incorporating the sector into the legal system. We concentrate on the period of the transformation from state monopolies to media pluralism in Poland, Austria and Hungary, which took place in the late 1980s and the 1990s. A qualitative content analysis is performed on legal texts and media coverage to identify discourses present in the debate. We complete this data with interviews and focus groups with policymakers and radio pirates and an analysis of legal regulations drawing on comparative law research. We show that the pirate radio movement in Hungary and Austria during the transformation processes seems to have had clearly defined goals and organisation.
期刊介绍:
The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television is an international and interdisciplinary journal concerned with the history of the audio-visual mass media from c.1900 to the present. It explores the institutional and ideological contexts of film, radio and television, analyses the evidence produced by the mass media for historians and social scientists, and considers the impact of mass communications on political, social and cultural history. The needs of those engaged in research and teaching are served by scholarly articles, book reviews and by archival reports concerned with the preservation and availability of records. In addition the journal aims to provide a survey of developments in the teaching of history and social science courses which involve the use of film and broadcast materials. Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television is the official journal of the International Association for Media and History (IAMHIST). All articles published in the journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editorial screening and the opinion of at least two anonymous referees.
