Local community radio
Local community radio is a radio service provided by and for a specific community or neighborhood. It offers a platform for local news, cultural content, music, and discussions that reflect the interests and voices of residents. Unlike national stations, community radio focuses on issues and stories relevant to the immediate area, fostering community engagement and providing a space for diverse perspectives. It is often run by volunteers or local organizations and aims to strengthen community identity, support local artists, and enhance access to information. It plays a vital role in promoting social cohesion and democratic participation at the local level.
