Abstract :
The community radio station provides the opportunity to broadcast information from within the community, to reflect the community’s cultural interests. It could be seen as a new face of democracy: from the community, by the community, for the community. The importance of Internet to community radio cannot be underestimated. Internet, with its unique quality of interactivity, can involve communities in participatory community radio broadcasting. Internet not only encourages local participation, but also significantly expands the social-cultural horizons of its users. The conjunction of the local and the global is embedded in this technology. The Internet also allows the community radio to communicate with transnational societies in the context of international migration and globalisation. This prodigy has introduced new outlooks for understanding the dynamics of community diaspora and the communication practice.
