Transformations and Learning of Community Radios in Spain: Towards an Inclusive Radio Model

The history of the community radio runs parallel to the development of the Spanish democracy. These radio stations were pioneers and they advanced ways of communication and citizen participation that now, with the Internet, are ordinary: appropriation of the technology, citizen journalism and horizontal structure. With this study we want to show how and to where the transformation of community radio has been produced, and how these kind of projects have evolved from alternative media to new practices of community communication. A learning that can be of great utility for new media and communication processes on the Internet.
