Community radio is a new phenomenon for Ethiopia. For the first time, the
idea was raised and discussed at a symposium held at the Ghion hotel, Addis
Ababa, January 2002 (HOACBP et al. 2002:1). Following the meeting, some
community groups were motivated to investigate its practicability. One was
Harar Community Radio (HCR), which this research paper has undertaken as a
case study. The other two groups, which failed to establish community radio,
were Gulele Community Radio Pilot Project and Sidama Educational Radio
Station.
