Radio is the leading source of news and information in Africa, and in many communities, it remains the
only news medium for many people, despite technological advances. Radio transcends infrastructure deficits and language barriers. It can reach the smallest of towns and remote villages in the farthest flung societies.
Given such extensive reach, the importance of the medium on the continent is obvious. In some places, what is meant to be public radio churns out state propaganda or serves as a source of government news. In many other cases public radio contends with budgetary constraints.
