> “Community Radio in the 21st Century” - Call For Chapters
>  Edited by Janey Gordon, University of Bedfordshire, UK
>
>  Peter Lang Books, Oxford, UK have indicated their interest in  
> publishing this collection.
>
>  In the first decade of the 21st century there has been a  
> significant global expansion and appreciation of community radio.   
> These small radio stations, that are not run by the state or  
> commercial ventures but give a voice to views and expressions other  
> than the mainstream and cultures other than the ‘norm’, have  
> started to open up in many countries where the authorities had  
> hitherto proved reluctant to legitimise this ‘third tier’ of radio.  
> For example in the United Kingdom legitimate, on air, community  
> radio only started in 2002, but by 2010 there were over two hundred.
>
>  Europe, Australasia and North and South America, have long had  
> community radio advocates, broadcasters and listeners. But since  
> 2000, laws have been enacted to provide for community radio in many  
> more countries, such as the UK, India and Georgia; growth and  
> development has been encouraged in places such as Hungary and South  
> Africa and the importance and impact of long standing community  
> radio stations in countries such as Australia has been researched  
> and evaluated.
>
>  This book of edited chapters, “Community Radio in the 21st  
> Century”, celebrates the most positive and successful outcomes of  
> community radio globally over the first years of the 21st century.  
> It also seeks to critically examine the issues that have proved  
> problematic.
>
>  The book has an international perspective and is a collection of  
> chapters for students studying mainstream and alternative media and  
> also practitioners involved in the community media and radio sectors.
>
>  The editor is seeking abstracts from academics and practitioners  
> for chapters that examine the following themes,
>
>  ·       Recent developments and research in the community radio  
> sector globally. Case studies are welcomed from areas where  
> community radio is a new phenomenon.
>
> ·       The histories behind community radio.
>
> ·       Social impacts; for example, information, knowledge,  
> training, language, culture, music, social inclusion and democratic  
> processes.
>
> ·       What constitutes a ‘community’?
>
> ·       What happens when community radio goes bad? The effects of  
> ‘Hate’ radio.
>
> ·       Managing a community radio station; listeners and volunteer  
> broadcasters, funding and commercialism, ‘ethical’ behaviour and  
> the law.
>
> ·       New technologies and future developments; where does  
> community radio go from here? Other community media platforms;  
> community social networking; DAB; mobile technologies.
>
> These areas do not constitute a comprehensive list and proposals on  
> related themes, particularly where case studies and actual examples  
> are cited, are welcomed.
>
>  Selection will lay emphasis on work that is accessible, clearly  
> written, and exemplifies the issues in the community radio sector.
>
>  Submission deadline for abstracts is: 1st October 2010, with the  
> final chapters of 5000-7000 words, being completed by 1st March 2011.
>
>  Abstracts of 200 words and biographical details of 50 words should  
> be submitted to
