Radio free Palestine: a model for cross‐border solidarity broadcasting

Abstract

Community radio stations, as non-profit broadcasters that serve communities as opposed to the interests of states or corporations, have always maximized resources in their attempts to achieve social justice through broadcasting. Stations often pool resources in order to increase networks of community-based stations, as in the case of the Miners’ Radio Network, connecting dozens of communities in Bolivia, or the Wawatay Radio Network, linking 49 stations and serving over 30,000 Indigenous people in the Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Treaty 3 areas.
