There are many organizations out there that provide poor, rural areas of the world with basic opportunities that the developed world has been using for decades. Introducing radios into these countries is providing the people with the building blocks for creating public voice. It is a different perspective taken on the term "alternative media" and makes you think twice about the meaning of it all.

it is definitely interesting to think about "alternative media" in terms of culture that is completely different than ours socially, politically, and economically. a simple radio would not be considered a form of alternative media in the United States, but that is absolutely not the case in some of the third world areas of the world.
