Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of community radio as a medium for bringing about social change in Malawi. It identifies several problem areas that are threatening the future of community radio broadcasting in the country. It provides a comparative analysis of operational strategies of community radio in neighbouring Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia that Malawi could draw lessons from. This study argues for a reformation of the country’s communications law and broadcasting policies for the development of a revitalized community radio broadcasting sector that would be an effective agent of social change, economic development and the promotion of democracy in Malawi.
