"Kepemilikan media di Amerika Serikat telah mengerut dalam beberapa dekade terakhir ini karena kebijakan pemerintah yang memperbolehkan sebuah perusahaan menguasai banyak media. Hal ini menimbulkan kekahwatiran mengenai isi pemberitaan yang terdistorsi oleh kepentingan bisnis atau kebijakan pemerintah.Radio dukungan pendengar merupakan sebuah konsep radio publik baru yang diajukan oleh Lewis Kimball Hill pada tahun 1949 sebagai alternatif terhadap struktur media saat itu. Meskipun uang yang diperoleh dari pendengar seringkali tidak cukup untuk membiayai ongkos produksi keseluruhan, ide Hill masih dapat kita lihat sampai saat ini. Yayasan Pacifica yang didirikan HiII telah mengembangkan jaringannya dari stasiun KPFA di Berkeley, California, menjadi lima stasiun di seluruh Amerika Serikat. Konstituten utama radio ini adalah pendengarnya, karena itu kepentingan utama programnya adalah memenuhi kebutuhan pendengar. Hal ini sejalan dengan etika jurnalistik dimana salah satu prinsipnya adalah untuk melayani kepentingan publik.Untuk melihat perbedaan isi yang diproduksi oleh media, saya mengkaji bagimana media arus utama (mainstream) dan media alternatif di Amerika Serikat menarasikan Perang Irak. Saya mengumpulkan hasil kajian yang dilakukan oleh lembaga-lembaga sebelumnya mengenai narasi media TV, radio dan cetak. Narasi yang saya bandingkan adalah berita the Washington Post dengan berita radio yang diproduksi Pacifica. Dengan analisis teks kritis, kedua media ini ternyata memiliki karakterisasi berbeda. Saya menemukan bahwa the Washington Post mendukung perang, sementara Pacifica menyuarakan anti-perang.

The thriving number of media ownership in United States has contracted in the couple of decades due to government policy to allow big corporations dominate most media outlets in the country. This creates concerns on the content of the media which is assumed distorted by business interest and/or government stance.

Listener-sponsored radio is a new public radio concept proposed by Lewis Kimball Hill in 1949 to be alternative of the current media structure. Although the money generated from listeners are often not sufficient to fund the whole radio operation, Hill's experiment is still exist and alive today. The Pacifica foundation enlarges their radio affiliation from KPFA station in Berkeley, California to five radio stations across United States. Main constituents of this radio is their listeners, and thus the content will be based on the listener interest. This seems in accordance with journalism ethics, which is to serve fair and correct information to the public.

To see the difference content produced by media, I examine how mainstream and alternative media in United States narrate Iraq War. I collect studies done by several organizations on media narration in TV, radio and print. I also compare the narration between mainstream media, which is the Washington Post with the alternative one, produced by Pacifica. Using the critical text analysis, these media have different characterization in their articles.I found out that the Washington Post voices the pro war stance in their editorials and article, while Pacifica voices the anti war aspiration."

"This article is about community radio in Indonesia. This type of radio developed as an alternative to both public radio and commercial radio after the fall of Soeharto in 1998. Two important features of community radio are that it provides all community members with equal access to information, and also enables them to participate actively in management and production. Both features enhance people's self-awareness and sense of belonging to a community. This article compares the way in which community radio creates communal feelings with Bertolt Brecht 's ideas on theatre and radio, and Walter Benjamin's theory of mass media. In the second part of the article, the conceptual tools generated by this comparative framework are used for the discussion of the ideas and practices of community radio practitioners in Central Java. The stations discussed comprise two types of community radio: one based on geographical or professional grounds, the other tied to the interests of students at university campuses (so-called campus radio). The theoretical discussion of community radio as well as the description of the Central Javanese radio stations make it clear that community radio has a democratic right and duty to exist in Indonesian society, as it enables social groups to express themselves without interference of other parties, and contributes to the variety of the Indonesian media scene."
