[cma-l] Information request about community media

[Bill Best]

Hi Dave

A good first start would be Ofcom's excellent annual reports on the
community radio sector which may all be found here:

http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/radio/community/annual-reports/

There's the comprehensive Community Radio Toolkit:
http://www.communityradiotoolkit.net

And Professor Anthony Everitt's report, "New Voices" - the
evaluation of the Radio Authority's Access Radio pilot scheme published in 2003:

http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/rau/newsroom/news-release/03/pr044.htm

And then "The Arts & Community Radio" – a research report commissioned
by Arts Council England and DCMS published in 2008:
