Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this essay, I draw on my work as an international feminist media activist to explore community radio as a transformative form of political education and a cornerstone of substantive liberation for democratic societies. I detail specific histories of solidarity politics and provide archival evidence to show how community radio public affairs journalists have played an ongoing and vital role in delegitimizing colonialism, authoritarianism, and fascist misinformation and abuse of the mass media. I use careful and nuanced accompaniment, community leadership, scholarship, reporting, alternative publications, and archive founding to extend the lessons of the anti-apartheid liberation movement. As a community radio public affairs journalist, my refusal to accommodate myself to petty tyranny and bourgeois social norms has made me a uniquely trusted political voice. I have coached generations of media makers, scholar activists, and critical interpreters of the politics of representation.
