Children Making Radio -
2004/5
As our first research
project, we decided to focus on participatory
radio of all kinds: from participation on the broadcast stations to
radio produced by children and young people in schools and in the
community. There is little
published research available on the extent of children's
participation in radio production across the country. This is
highlighted in Ofcom's review on media literacy, which also
concludes that research into 'creativity' in media (which should
include the making of radio programmes) is much needed.
