Community radio refers to non-profit, locally-run radio stations that are owned and operated by members of a particular community. These stations typically focus on providing programming that is relevant to the needs and interests of their listeners, including local news, music, cultural content, and community events. Community radio stations often serve marginalized or underserved populations and aim to provide a platform for voices that are not typically heard in mainstream media. Research in the area of community radio may focus on topics such as the impact of these stations on community development, audience engagement and participation, and the sustainability of non-commercial radio models.
