Overview

"This project advocates for college radio stations to unify in a new digital space in order to maintain relevancy, re-evaluate their value propositions and form a plan for sustainability in the digital age. With radio engagement and listenership transitioning to more customizable spaces such as streaming platforms, college radio's clear benefits are now more immediately evident to individual participants as opposed to listeners. College radio participants often cite the experience of participation as transformative or crucial to their development, much like youth media organizations in place in many cities across the United States. This project uses a youth media oriented lens through which to orient college radio in 2018 and point it towards a more sustainable future by helping stations identify and articulate a new participant-centered mission." -- Abstract
