Community radio

Community radio is a type of radio broadcasting that is run by local organizations, groups, or residents to serve their community’s interests. It provides a platform for local voices, culture, music, and issues that mainstream media might overlook. Usually operating on a smaller scale and often with volunteer staff, community radio aims to inform, educate, and entertain while fostering local connections. It promotes participation, giving community members a chance to share their stories and perspectives, strengthening community identity and engagement.
