Campus Radio Research
This week, CKUW was visited by Brian Fauteux, a PhD Candidate in Communications at Concordia University in Montreal. Brian is on a cross-Canada tour collecting interviews and other material to support his research on the “development of campus radio broadcasting in Canada, its current place in the Canadian media environment, and our understanding of its social and cultural contributions.”
I didn’t ask how CKUW came to be one of three stations interviewed for his research – CHMA and CiTR are the others. In the current environment rife with new media, media consolidation and rumours that radio in general is a dying horse, I’m encouraged we are relevant enough to be researched and considered for our continued contribution to the cultural landscape.
