Radio, Public Life and Citizen Deliberation in South Africa: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Radio, Public Life and Citizen Deliberation in South Africa" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book critically analyses the important role of radio in public life in post-apartheid South Africa.As the most widespread and popular form of communication in the country, radio occupies an essential space in the deliberation and the construction of public opinion in South Africa. From just a few state-controlled stations during the apartheid era, there are now more than 100 radio stations, reaching vast swathes of the population and providing an important space for citizens to air their views and take part in significant socio-economic and political issues of the country. The various contributors to this book demonstrate that whilst print and television media often serve elite interests and audiences, the low cost and flexibility of radio has helped it to create a common space for national dialogue and deliberation. The book also investigates the ways in which digital technologies have enhanced the consumption of radio and produced a sense of imagined community for citizens, including those in marginalised communities and rural areas.This book will be of interest to researchers with an interest in media, politics and culture in South Africa specifically, as well as those with an interest in broadcast media more generally.

This is a rich and timely book on the continued importance of radio - photo 1
This is a rich and timely book on the continued importance of radio broadcasting in contemporary South Africa. Chiumbu and Motsaathebe draw links between a variety of radio stations in contemporary South Africa, demonstrating how the medium continues to inform public life and citizenship. The specific chapters offer exciting discursive material on the vast majority of radio broadcasting in South Africa, but also significantly, map out how these can be thought of collectively under the banner of post-apartheid democratic ideals. A highly recommended reading for anyone interested in understanding radio and its influences both in South Africa and on the continent.
Dina Ligaga, Wits University, Media Studies
This is a provocative and rich collection of essays on radio in South Africa, and why it matters. Insights, astute overviews and in-depth accounts show how radio creates citizen publics and audiences in its democratized spaces. It is an upbeat and largely optimistic collection that forces the reader to take on the busy-ness of radio in the countryThrough the pages of this timely book, even more areas of research and debate on radio will open up for the students of media in South Africas vibrant, plural democracy.
