Subject: [grc] Call for Papers on Community Radio.<br>
<br>
<br>
Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture<br>
Call for Papers<br>
<br>
Volume 5, Number 1, March 2008<br>
<br>
Community Radio.<br>
Networks, identities and experiences.<br>
<br>
<br>
The growing interest in community media research and practice in the last<br>
decade<br>
has been reflected by the increase in academic publications and in the number<br>
of broadcasting stations. Both scholars and practitioners have emphasized the<br>
role of community broadcasting as either an alternative or complementary<br>
sector<br>
to public and commercial stations and as a tool for enacting citizenship on a<br>
daily basis, Œgiving voice to the voiceless‚, empowering marginalised groups<br>
and regenerating communities.<br>
<br>
At the same time, technological changes in production processes, a wider<br>
availability of affordable digital technologies and a growing use of internet<br>
as a platform for broadcasting, have permitted an exponential increase in the<br>
numbers of web-based broadcasters, communicative tools for communities of<br>
interest and the exchange of content among radio stations across the world,<br>
often linking local issues to wider global social and political concerns.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, the influence of mainstream broadcasters on media<br>
policymaking and<br>
regulation, coupled with the organisational challenges often faced by<br>
community<br>
groups and their representative bodies, have often resulted in legislation<br>
that<br>
still limits the communicative potential of community radio and its<br>
contribution to social change, access, participation and representation in<br>
the<br>
media.<br>
<br>
WPCC is looking for original, research-based papers that will contribute to<br>
broaden the theoretical and empirical perspectives in community radio from a<br>
range of disciplinary approaches. Approaches in Media, Communication and<br>
Cultural Studies, as well as in the wider fields of the humanities, social<br>
and<br>
applied sciences.<br>
<br>
WPCC welcomes analyses of local, regional and national case studies, and<br>
international comparative research, as well as contributions on policy-making<br>
and regulation for community radio.<br>
<br>
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
- Media Theory, Radio Theory and Community Radio;<br>
- Community Radio as a tool for encouraging democratic participation and<br>
activism and access to local public spheres.<br>
- Community Radio as a tool for development and social change; for<br>
promoting and<br>
preserving local identities and local cultures; giving voice to ethnic<br>
minorities, diasporic groups and refugees; and regenerating communities;<br>
- International/National Policy and Regulation of Community Radio;<br>
- Community Radio organization, decisional processes and democratic<br>
structures;<br>
- Audience and reception studies;<br>
- Transnational networks, infrastructures and institutions developing<br>
community<br>
radio practices<br>
- Community radio and media literacy<br>
- University, College, School and Student Radio<br>
<br>

Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture (WPCC) is a peer-reviewed<br>
journal, published four times a year in hard copy and PDF format.<br>
<br>
WPCC recognises the interdisciplinary nature of the field of Media and<br>
Cultural<br>
Studies, and therefore deliberately encourages diverse methods, contexts and<br>
themes.<br>
<br>
Particular interests include, but are not limited to, work related to Popular<br>
Culture, Media Audiences, Political Economy, Promotional Culture, New Media,<br>
Political communication, Migration and Diasporic Studies.<br>
<br>
A major goal of the WPCC is to help develop a de-westernised and<br>
transcultural<br>
sphere that engages both young and established scholars from different<br>
parts of<br>
the world in a critical debate about the relationship between communication,<br>
culture and society in the 21st Century.<br>
<br>
WPCC invites contributions from all scholars; particularly those at the<br>
beginning of their careers.<br>
