Abstract

BUENDIA ASTUDILLO, Alexander  and  PINO CORREA, Juan Carlos. Local radio, public opinion and citizen participation. Signo pensam. [online]. 2008, vol.27, n.52, pp.84-96. ISSN 0120-4823.

This paper shows how local radio stations that foster citizen participation and public opinion can develop into agents of social mobilization, as long they hold a broad notion of democracy. The article gives an account of the involvement that the ECCO research group (Universidad del Cauca, Colombia) has had in the project “Citizen radio: Room for democracy”, where researchers have given support to local radio stations and have sought to understand how these media conceive, assume and work towards ideas of local democracy, public opinion and citizen participation. On addition to this, the text describes the transformations in the process of production of local radio.

Keywords : Comunication; local radio; public opinion; democracy; civic participation; citizenship.
