Speaking at the opening of the CBAA Conference today, President Philip Randall told delegates about the consolidation of media and the importance of community broadcasting.
“Media is consolidating, these changes present community broadcasters with great challenges and opportunities.
“Community radio is truely local, with voices by your siblings, relatives and neighbours. It reflects your local identity.”
“A healthy democracy cannot function without a free media,” he said, discussing the current campaign for media freedom.
