>Apologies for cross posting. Please pass this call for chapters on to
>colleagues who may not have seen it. I am

>â¬SCommunity Radio in the 21st Century⬝ - Call For Chapters
>  Edited by Janey Gordon, University of Bedfordshire, UK
>
>  Peter Lang Books, Oxford, UK have indicated their interest in
>publishing this collection.
>
>  In the first decade of the 21st century there has been a
>significant global expansion and appreciation of community radio.
>These small radio stations, that are not run by the state or
>commercial ventures but give a voice to views and expressions other
>than the mainstream and cultures other than the â¬Ünormâ¬", have
>started to open up in many countries where the authorities had
>hitherto proved reluctant to legitimise this â¬Üthird tierâ¬" of
>radio. For example in the United Kingdom legitimate, on air,
>community radio only started in 2002, but by 2010 there were over two
>hundred.
>
>  Europe, Australasia and North and South America, have long had
>community radio advocates, broadcasters and listeners. But since
>2000, laws have been enacted to provide for community radio in many
>more countries, such as the UK, India and Georgia; growth and
>development has been encouraged in places such as Hungary and South
>Africa and the importance and impact of long standing community radio
>stations in countries such as Australia has been researched and
>evaluated.
>
>  This book of edited chapters, â¬SCommunity Radio in the 21st
>Century⬝, celebrates the most positive and successful outcomes of
>community radio globally over the first years of the 21st century. It
>also seeks to critically examine the issues that have proved
>problematic.
>
>  The book has an international perspective and is a collection of
>chapters for students studying mainstream and alternative media and
>also practitioners involved in the community media and radio sectors.
>
>  The editor is seeking abstracts from academics and practitioners
>for chapters that examine the following themes,
>
>  ·       Recent developments and research in the community radio
>sector globally. Case studies are welcomed from areas where community
>radio is a new phenomenon.
>
>·       The histories behind community radio.
>
>·       Social impacts; for example, information, knowledge,
>training, language, culture, music, social inclusion and democratic
>processes.
>
>·       What constitutes a â¬Ücommunityâ¬"?
>
>·       What happens when community radio goes bad? The effects of
>â¬ÜHateâ¬" radio.

>·       Managing a community radio station; listeners and volunteer
>broadcasters, funding and commercialism, â¬Üethicalâ¬" behaviour and
>the law.
>
>·       New technologies and future developments; where does
>community radio go from here? Other community media platforms;
>community social networking; DAB; mobile technologies.
>
>These areas do not constitute a comprehensive list and proposals on
>related themes, particularly where case studies and actual examples
>are cited, are welcomed.
>
>  Selection will lay emphasis on work that is accessible, clearly
>written, and exemplifies the issues in the community radio sector.
