Communication Rights as a Networking Reality: Community Radio in Europe

Salvatore Scifo

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Historical accounts (Lewis & Booth, 1989; Prehn, 1992) explain that the term ‘community radio and television’ has been exported to Europe from the North American experience. The US radio stations established in the late 1940s (such as KPFA in Berkeley), the Challenge for Change programme promoted by the Canadian National Film Board and the (francophone) Quebec project Societé Nouvelle in the 1970s all inspired community media activists on the other side of the Atlantic.
