O papel das rádios comunitárias em contextos multilingues: o caso da rádio comunitária de Xai-Xai 1995-2005

Abstract

The role of public media is clearly defined and described in national legislation, which is no longer the case with community radios. However, the protagonism and importance of community radios in benefiting the development of the communities in which they are located has witnessed a very significant growth and this fact made it extremely important to reflect on the role of community radios in a multilingual context, and in the particular case of the province of gaza - community radio of xai-xai, in the period between 1995 -2005 (10 years of implementation of radio xai-xai). The lack of a ''language planning/policy'' for community radios was at the origin of this reflection, as community radios play a very important role, especially at the local level, whether in education and awareness of the community, in the dissemination of diverse information for “radio listeners”, and also in the follow-up and coverage of relevant events related to the communities. The work consists of six chapters, following the following structure: Chapter i is the introduction, where the objective, importance, motivation and contribution, the problem and the hypotheses of this study are presented
