Over the last few decades community radio has shown rapid development, expanding its unique form of participatory communication to millions around the world as well as attracting increasing research and publication. The sector has always faced the considerable challenges of sustainable funding, shifting media regulation, and limited access.

These factors raise questions that this special issue intends to address: how does the progress of community radio differ around the world? How can citizens become active in community media movement, despite sometimes hostile political, economic and legal environments? How can community radio address issues of social cohesion and contribute to overcoming stereotypes? What is the role of community radio in building democracy the digital era?
