Community Radios als partizipative Medien

In the organizer's words:

Community radios give people the opportunity to participate in public discourse - even outside the established media. A taz Talk by the taz Panter Foundation.

Especially in the field of electronic music, community and free radios fulfill an interesting dual role: on the one hand, they serve as a platform for artists to present their work and make themselves known, and on the other hand, they function as accessible journalistic spaces that enable grassroots reporting outside of established media structures and contribute to participation. Grassroots movements often also contribute to civic engagement.

How can artists articulate themselves via community radio stations? Why is the journalistic dimension so important? What role do community radio stations play in different social and cultural contexts? And how can we support such projects locally and internationally?
