ABSTRACT Development communication and community radio media outlets have been described as the most effective way of ensuring political inclusion and political engagement in emerging democracies such as Ghana. With development communication theory as the theoretical basis, this study is aimed at assessing how community radio media outlets, have enhanced and strengthened the political participation in Northern Ghana. The study used a qualitative thematic analysis method and employed in-depth- interviews with 20 media professionals in Northern Ghana. The study established that community-based radio within northern Ghana has played a significant role in enhancing political participation, through political talk shows and call-in programs.

ABSTRACT The Mathematics of Crime, a 2018 series of podcasts by Magdalena Sodomkova and Brit Jense, had the best chance of becoming a star of investigative journalism on Czech public radio. But it was not the case. The case study looks into the circumstances of censorship which took place in the Czech Radio. The paper looks into the mechanisms of internal censorship introduced by the public institution itself. An important part of the study are references to the phenomenon of media capture, the meaning of “public interest” and situation of public service media in Czech Republic.

ABSTRACT During the radio craze of 1922, broadcasting stations proliferated across the country. Although run by a variety of institutions and organizations, all of these stations faced the challenge of filling their broadcast schedules with content. Among the first voices to be heard, mixed among the musicians, entertainers, and civic leaders, were public librarians. What led these early stations to seek out librarians? By examining contemporary newspaper accounts and library records, this study seeks to establish a context for and a chronology of the earliest connections between public librarians and radio broadcast stations.

ABSTRACT Podcasts have been on the rise recently with both audience numbers and advertising revenue increasing. Scholars have been scrutinizing the medium for quite some time. However, empirical research into the effects of podcast in general and their hosts in particular have been rare. Against the backdrop of the parasocial relations (PSR) approach, we therefore conducted an exploratory online survey of German podcast listeners (n = 804) asking which characteristics of a podcast host promote ties with listeners and whether these have persuasive effects. The study showed that audio media are capable of fostering PSR that can have an impact on listeners’ attitudes and behaviors.

ABSTRACT This content analysis of the websites of the 50 USA state broadcast associations found that the majority of the associations quickly pivoted their website content early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the majority quickly adapted their websites to include high amounts of COVID-19-related content. The study also found that the majority of that content focused on issues related to industry practices rather than content focused on community concerns. Moreover, industry-facing websites were also more likely to contain high amounts of COVID-19-related content than community-facing websites.

ABSTRACT Social media are essential to radio station communications, including program personalities who use social platforms to connect with their listeners. Social networks allow program hosts to feature a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the station and staff, photos and videos, and afford the audience a way to give feedback. This study used proxemics theory and conversational style through coding and linguistic analysis (LIWC) to examine how personality radio hosts in the US were connecting with their audiences through Twitter. Using a quantitative and qualitative mixed methods approach, the study found that tweets exhibited implicit and explicit content on the two dimensions of closeness and distance.

Abstract The economic crisis in Greece saw an increase in activist movements, with numerous alternative media and civil society initiatives arose. Many such efforts went online to bypass media gatekeepers. One example is Radiobubble, an online radio station which attained prominence for its alternative news programming and coverage of social movements. Radiobubble served as an incubator for new civil society initiatives, while its social media presence became a hub for activists. However, did Radiobubble’s alternative programming model demonstrate longevity? Based on interviews conducted with Radiobubble volunteers between 2012–2017, the difficulties Radiobubble encountered in maintaining its early momentum are highlighted.
