Today there are community or alternative Radios that pursue the goal of communicating in another way. These radios may be institutions or social organizations that develop a pluralistic and participatory communication as a channel of expression of the social and cultural sectors with less possibility of access to the media. Some cases examples such as Radio La Colifata or FM La Boca, for you name some, has a nonlucrative gene. Although addressed in various ways both examples serve as a tool to sustain radio democracy. In the case of La Boca, the space is rented by any individual who has wanted to do radio: from a lover of the teleteatros to a group of journalists recently received. On the other hand the radio made by inmates of the Hospital Borda gives them the possibility of these locos correntino express themselves.
It is also open to the public, who wish can attend the Hospital and witness programs. Sense of belonging and company in his book I always hear them. Portraits of radio Argentina in the century 21St, Carlos Ulanovsky devotes a chapter to the audience the radio people found in the phone calls (recorded on a computer or as text through cell phones messages or written via mails) a varied and interesting solution to its crisis of representativeness, as spurred by failed social projects and political parties that discouraged rather than excite. The sense of belonging that gives the radio does not have, at present, a competitor: If one is in your home alone and wants a little noise, there goes the radio; If one is in the Office, there goes the radio. Internet: conflict or solution? New technologies, more precisely Internet, modified forms of making and listening to Radio. According to a report from the Research of MC Insights for MediCom high sustained growth that has the computer in all the Argentina makes the radio to have a high degree of penetration. And although there are some specialists who argue that Internet shifts to the radio such that today we know it for MC Insights: analysis of the mobile last year does not mark a sustained growth of the medium: the hearings, in global terms, remain stable. Aside from the various studies that can move, indeed alternative radio stations to use new technologies to weave networks of collaboration and disseminate their activities globally.
Law services of audio-visual communication promoted by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the new law, still up for grabs, promises by as cited in some articles a greater plurality and democratization. Two points, estraidos in turn of the 21 main points are: technical plans should be booked at least 33 percent of frequencies, in all bands to non-profit entities. Radio frequencies must not be transferred, sold or auctioned can. Nobody should hijack the frequencies. Radio frequencies belong to the community. Then with the precepts of reserving a broad spectrum to non-commercial entities, and the clarification that the frequencies belong to the community, the alternative radio have a good future ahead.
