Exploring Attempts at Judicial Resolution of the Nkonya-Alavanyo Communal Conflict in Ghana
While the literature on the Nkonya-Alavanyo conflict references litigation and its apparent ineffectiveness in resolving the conflict, there is a paucity of detail about this litigation. This paper contributes to a more holistic comprehension of the discourses structuring resolution attempts in this conflict, with lessons for the resolution of communal conflicts generally. Drawing on archival data, media reports, and field interviews, we examine …
From “Cafeteria Stereo System” to the Airwaves
This paper illustrates that campus radio continues to be relevant within the Canadian media ecosystem. Because of the unique commitments of campus-community radio, this sector constitutes an important part of the Canadian broadcasting ecosystem. In July 2019, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission licensed Caper Radio as a campus broadcaster located in Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton University. This marked a milestone in the e…
Challenging “Apartheid” on the Canadian Airwaves
Background: Within research and teaching concerning broadcasting policymaking, there are evident gaps in Canadian communication studies that marginalize the self-determination of people who are Indigenous, racialized, or living with disAbilities. Analysis: The scholar-activism of the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) seeks to expand the canon of Canadian communications scholarship, especially in the area of broadcasting policy, to include Ca…
Radio Univers
There is a paucity of academic literature on Radio Univers 26 years after it first took to the airwaves as Ghana’s first authorized campus-community broadcaster. Drawing mainly on direct observations and interviews, this paper accounts for the origins of the station, and the role it has played in Ghana’s mediascape, not only in contributions to the public sphere and local music industry but also the opportunities it has created for self-expressio…
Commodification of Development Programming on Radio in Northern Ghana
This article discusses the commodification of development programming such as news and other content in the Ghanaian media space. It uses the case of two NGOs operating in the Northern Region to examine how development programming is transmitted via FM radio stations in the region. Using in-depth interviews and observations as methodologies, the study investigates the evolving phenomenon of development NGOs buying airtime to broadcast development…
Shut Off
s well-researched and thought-provoking text Shut Off: The Canadian Digital Television Transition is a timely and relevant intervention in critical Canadian broadcasting policy and regulation studies. In my experience as a researcher and university professor, I am often amused at how my Canadian students dismiss Canadian broadcasting policy as a boring area of study without realizing, as Taylor notes in Shut Off, that Canadian broadcasting policy…
Erasing Race in the Canadian Media
This article proposes a critical race theoretical approach to news discourse to counter the erasure of race in Canadian public discourse, using media coverage of the Suaad Hagi Mohamud affair as a case study. Between May and August 2009, Mohamud, a Canadian of Somali origin, was stranded in Nairobi, Kenya, because Canadian authorities voided her passport on the erroneous grounds that she was an impostor and consequently procured her prosecution b…
