Community broadcasting is a research field and academic concept examining media forms characterized by non-profit operation, community ownership and control, and a primary focus on serving the specific needs, interests, and participation of a defined local community. This concept investigates the social, political, and cultural dynamics of media produced by and for communities, exploring its role in fostering local identity, facilitating democratic participation, challenging dominant media narratives, and promoting social development, particularly for marginalized groups. Its significance lies in offering an alternative media model that prioritizes local voice, access, and agency over commercial or state interests.
