Beyond broadcasting: Community radio as a model community organisation

澳大利亚有2万名志愿者，每周有近600万听众，拥有50年的历史，是世界上最成熟的社区广播部门之一。然而，关于社区广播的讨论仅限于关于媒体的辩论。社区广播电台是多种多样的社区参与组织，提供的内容远不止广播内容。本研究旨在探索社区广播作为成功、可持续和多样化社区组织的模式。该项目的研究结果将帮助其他社区组织改善他们的社区联系和参与，并阐明他们的价值，这将有助于澳大利亚人重新参与公民生活。

With 20,000 volunteers, almost six million weekly listeners, and 50 years of history, Australia has one of the most well-established community radio sectors in the world. Yet discussions about community radio are limited to debates about media. Community radio stations are diverse and community-engaged organisations, with much more to offer than just what's on air. This research aims to explore community radio as a model for successful, sustainable, and diverse community organisations. The findings of this project will help other community organisations improve their community connections and engagement, and articulate their value, which will contribute to re-engaging Australians in civic life.
