New edition of AMARC’s InteRadio off the press

Montreal, April 20, 2005. The World Association of Community Broadcasters (AMARC) has just published the 2005 edition of its annual magazine InteRadio, the only publication that addresses the challenges and accomplishments of the community radio movement from an international perspective.

InteRadio examines key issues and trends affecting community radios worldwide from a communications rights perspective. It was first published in 1988, right before the celebration of the AMARC 3rd World Conference and General Assembly, in Nicaragua.

The 2005 edition of InteRadio presents insights into media policy, media concentration and the legal recognition of community radio in the United States and Latin America. It offers portrays of the community radio in Africa, Asia, and the Latin America regions, as well as in the province of Quebec, Canada. The issues of the World Summit on the Information Society and the participation of women in community radio are also discussed. In addition, this new issue of InteRadio highlights several community radio experiences with a global, regional and local impact.

Through InteRadio, community radio practitioners share with other radio ‘apasionados’ their stories, which convey practical knowledge, as well as the results of research.
