Authors

  • Clever Maputseni

Abstract

The aim of my research was to assess the use radio for advocacy and communication in community development, focusing on radio as a medium, radio audience behaviour in farm communities, issues affecting farm communities, advocacy and communication of the issues through radio, and power dynamics in programme production. The study attempted to do so by answering the overall question ‘how and why radio?’.
