With a burgeoning out‐of‐school population and illiteracy rate, the situation of protracted conflict and crises fuelled by the Boko‐Haram insurgency further exacerbates educational inequality for children in northern Nigeria. The Covid‐19 pandemic further deepened the “educational poverty” experienced there. This article focuses on data generated around ACE radio school, an initiative to mitigate the impact of Covid‐19‐related school closures in northern Nigeria. The initiative targeted young learners using radio as a medium to support their continued learning remotely in numeracy, literacy, sciences, and civics education. Daily learning activities were broadcasted in the local Hausa language, supported through “listening groups” that engaged local learning facilitators in the communities. Despite the known existing barriers that have been identified to hinder access to quality education in the region, including poverty, religion, socio‐cultural factors, and protracted conflict situations, our interviews revealed that parents were committed to supporting their children’s attendance at listening groups, due to the use of their mother tongue as a mode of instruction. Drawing on a conversational learning approach, we argue that understanding local conditions and adopting local solutions, such as the radio lessons delivered in these children’s mother tongue, have implications for enhancing improved learner outcomes in marginalised contexts.

Die Ansprache von gesundheitsrelevanten wie -bezogenen Themen erfolgt heutzutage über die unterschiedlichsten Wege. Innerhalb der Medien stellen klassische Printmedien und Bewegtbildformate derweil die dominierenden Basismedien dar. Auditiven Medien, wie dem Radio oder dem Podcast, wird bisweilen eine vergleichsweise geringe Bedeutung zugesprochen. Einzelne Gesundheitskampagnen zogen in den vergangenen Jahren jedoch auch immer wieder verschiedene Hörmedien in Betracht. Vor diesem Hintergrund widmet sich der nachfolgende Beitrag dem Einsatz von auditiven Medien in der Gesundheitskommunikation. Hierzu wird die historische Entwicklung der ausgewählten Hörmedien skizziert sowie eine Auswahl historischer wie aktueller gesundheitsbezogener Hörformate vorgestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird der Stellenwert auditiver Medien innerhalb der Gesundheitskommunikation diskutiert., Nowadays, health-related and health-relevant topics are addressed in a wide variety of ways. Within the media, classic print media and moving image formats are the dominant kind of media. Auditory media, such as radio or podcasts, has been used less. In recent years, however, individual health campaigns have repeatedly considered various audio media. Given this background the following article is dedicated to the application of auditory media in health communication. For this purpose, the historical development of the selected audio media is outlined and a selection of historical and current health-related audio formats are presented. Based on this, the significance of auditory media within health communication is discussed., Gesundheitskommunikation und Geschichte: interdisziplinäre Perspektiven

Die Beschäftigung mit Erwachsenenbildnerinnen als Gestalterinnen von institutionalisierten Bildungsangeboten ist selten, noch seltener ist die Beschäftigung mit dem erwachsenenpädagogischen Wirken von Frauen in nicht-institutionalisierten Lehr- und Lernsettings wie Radio und Fernsehen. Dementsprechend ist die Erwachsenenbildnerin Ilse Weitsch (geb. Thieß) und ihr wesentlicher Beitrag für die politische und emanzipatorische Erwachsenenbildung kaum bekannt. Sie rief nach Kriegsende den „Frauenfunk“ bei Radio München ins Leben, welchen sie bis zu ihrem Tod im Jahr 1958 leitete. Die Sendereihe hat in der Nachkriegszeit wesentlich zur politischen Erwachsenenbildung sowie zur Demokratie- und Frauenbildung beigetragen. Ziel des Beitrags ist, diese erwachsenenpädagogische Arbeit von Ilse Weitsch durch die Analyse unterschiedlicher, bisher aus erwachsenenpädagogischer Perspektive nicht beachteter Primärquellen aufzuzeigen und zu würdigen. (DIPF/Orig.), The consideration of adult educators as designers of institutionalized educational courses is rare, and even rarer is the consideration of the impact of adult education by women in non­institutionalized teaching and learning settings such as radio and television. Hardly anything is known about adult educator Ilse Weitsch (née Thiess) and her important contribution to political and emancipatory adult education. After the end of the war, she established “Frauenfunk,” a program for women on Radio München, which she directed until her death in 1958. The series made a significant contribution to adult political education, democracy building and women’s education in the post­war period. The goal of the article is to demonstrate and acknowledge Ilse Weitsch’s work in adult education by analyzing different primary sources that have not previously been considered from the perspective of adult education.

This article takes a quantitative approach to Spanish radio advertising and the stereotypes and female roles that it broadcasts in a medium that has traditionally had high female audience rates in our country. From content analysis of 679 radio ads extracted from the 3 main general Spanish radio stations and collected 10 years apart, the study attempts to show the evolution (or regression) of how radio advertising portrays women. The radio in Spain has always been a medium anchored in the real world that has also provided some degree of space to broadcast social movement. #MeToo, as a phenomenon promoting female empowerment, was no exception. Therefore, this longitudinal study aims to demonstrate whether the social movements that led to increased female activism have been reflected in a change of roles and stereotypes projected by radio advertising messages. The work presented here looks at the concept of role from a dual perspective: firstly, it focuses on the role played by female voices in radio advertising items. Secondly, it works on the concept of role by assimilating it into the female image projected in radio advertising items. The results obtained between the two samples are remarkably similar, demonstrating a clear tendency to polarise the female image and confirming that women are still being portrayed in significantly traditional roles.

»Bauer ging nicht gerne in die Öffentlichkeit«, meinte Detlev Claussen rückblickend. Claussen, in den späten 1960er-Jahren Student in Frankfurt am Main, fügte seiner Charakterisierung des hessischen Generalstaatsanwalts jedoch sofort hinzu: »[…] aber die Verfolgung seiner Pflichten nötigte ihn dazu, öffentlich über die von ihm angeregten spektakulären Prozesse zu sprechen und in Hörfunk und Fernsehen, mit Aufsätzen und Vorträgen für eine Reformierung des Strafrechts zu kämpfen.« Der Soziologe Claussen ging noch weiter und urteilte: »Fritz Bauer musste contre coeur aus dem schützenden Schatten der Privatheit eines entre nous heraustreten, um seinen Auftrag zu erfüllen, nämlich Licht auf das Fortleben der Mörder unter uns zu werfen.« Die biographische Forschung unterstreicht das öffentliche Wirken des Juristen mittlerweile durch vielfältige Publikationen. Zu den Editionen von Vorträgen und kleineren Veröffentlichungen in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften gesellen sich seit 2014 die Ausgaben der »Gespräche, Interviews und Reden« aus den Fernseharchiven und seit 2017 ein Hörbuch mit Tondokumenten unter dem Titel »Fritz Bauer. Sein Leben. Sein Denken. Sein Wirken«.

This paper examines the nature and impacts of two information intervention radio programmes broadcast on Radio Okapi - the radio service of the UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A matched randomization technique was used to assign Rwandan Hutus and Congolese autochthons in South Kivu to listen to either of the two programmes within their naturalistic contexts for 13 months. At the end of the treatment, participants’ perceptions of barriers to peace; descriptive and prescriptive interventions; victimhood and villainity; opportunities for personal development and civic engagement; and knowledge of repatriation processes were assessed in 16 focus groups across four contexts. The study concludes that international media intervention programmes that provide robust information and a platform for objective analyses within a multiple narrative and participatory framework can enhance greater engagement with nascent democratic reforms, positive perception of long term opportunities for personal development and empathy with the ethnic Other.

At the beginning of 1982 an array of conflicting forces were working to shape the landscape of Europe's metropolitan radio services, and to alternatively control, commodify or liberate its gay communities. This paper examines the drivers, which inspired Gaywaves, a nascent weekly gay community radio programme broadcasting to an inner London audience on pirate station Our Radio from May 1982 until March 1983.

Nazan Haydari adddresses the question of how Panjabi women negotiate their gender, and Panjabi identities in interplay with their participation in radio production. Desi Radio, the project of the Panjabi Centre located in Southall, West London, was started in 2002 to promote Panjabi culture, and language. Building dialogue among the community constitutes the main philosophy of the station by questioning the political divide between East and West Panjab, religious divide of Muslim, Hindu and Sikh, gender inequality, and cast division. Desi Radio is run by the volunteers, and Panjabi women of the community constitute the majority. This paper is based on participant observation, interviews with women producers, and the founders of the station. Through the citizens' media framework by Clemencia Rodriguez, it is argued that Desi Radio creates a collective communication process for women to build new relationships, gain new skills and perspectives about their own capabilities, feel empowered, and become more conscious of their gender and Panjabi identities. Music and language play an important role to claim a Panjabi identity beyond the divisions of cast, gender, politics, and religion.

In modern democracies, trust in government is a key indicator of political legitimacy and stability. Drawing from theories of media effects, we investigated whether using traditional media has a negative (media malaise hypothesis) or a positive (virtuous circle hypothesis) impact on trust in the national government. We used a serial mediation model involving evaluations of politicians and evaluations of the political process as mediators of how political communications influence trust in government. To test the model empirically, we conducted an online survey among 1 115 respondents in Germany. Results suggest that the use of traditional media to access political information has a direct positive impact on trust in government mediated by people’s evaluations of politicians and of the political process. We also found a positive serial mediation effect of using traditional media on trust in government mediated first by evaluations of politicians and second by evaluations of the political process.

The radiophonic city portrait has been a prominent genre in transnational radio exchanges. Through various impulses from the cinema, avantgarde art and news reporting, the city became a motive of national display and scenery for transnational radio encounters already by the early 1930s, where broadcasters collaborated on producing and simultaneously transmitting portraits of capitals. With the establishment of EBU Ars Acoustica and particularly through the Metropolis series facilitated by WDR in the 1980es the genre resurfaced and reconnected to early avantgarde experiments. The chapter presents a model for analysing the genre drawing from two case studies: Exchanges in the Nordic Realm in the 1930s, and the Metropolic city portraits, initiated by Klaus Schöning and produced for Studio Akustische Kunst at WDR Cologne in the 1980s.

This book chapter, which lays out how community media share and archive programming online, tackles a poignant dilemma. Community radio and TV stations produce an extraordinary range of politically, culturally and artistically valuable content. Their focus on community building and bottom-up production models means they could draw especially pronounced benefits from the increased sophistication of interactive tools and platforms for sharing and archiving content. Making their content accessible and searchable, and securing its preservation, is essential to amplifying its reach and value over time. So why do so many broadcasters in this grassroots media sector, which should be particularly well equipped to take on the challenges of collaborative digital platforms, nevertheless still struggle to make optimal use of these opportunities? Drawing on the findings of the EU-funded project “Captcha: Creative Approaches to Living Cultural Archives,” this chapter highlights inspiring examples of best practice from across Europe. But it also rings the alarm bell about the sector-specific obstacles it explores, which mean that legacies that represent not only an individual station’s history, but that of whole communities, are at risk of being lost forever., Originally published in: Transnationalizing Radio Research: New Approaches to an Old Medium (2018), Golo Föllmer, Alexander Badenoch (eds.), pp. 223-230, transcript Verlag., {"references":["Bosch, Tanja (2013): \"Social Media and Community Radio Journalism in South Africa.\" In: Digital Journalism 2/1, pp. 29-43.","Coyer, Kate/van Beek, Joost (2010): \"Community Radio in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Opportunities and Challenges.\" In: Tarik Jusic (ed.), Communication and Community: Citizens, Media, and Local Governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo: Mediacentar Sarajevo and Center for Social Research Analitika, pp. 131-185.","Deuze, Mark (2006): \"Ethnic Media, Community Media and Participatory Culture\".
