Social Responsibility through the Spanish University Radio Waves

Abstract

College radio is built with mechanisms through which students can approach to the labor market, but it is also built as a media in which civil society can take an active part. The objective that we plant is to analyze the need to introduce and preserve the concept of social responsibility in the Spanish university radio stations for attaining the integration between the social system and the university. We designed a methodology based on interviews with those responsible for the Spanish college radio stations that broadcast regularly. Somehow, most of the radio stations analyzed have been incorporating this way of working to their daily basis, making the future professionals in the communication field to contemplate as usual and needed the citizens’ cooperation in order to build the radiophonic speeches, which will revert into a more conciliatory future between people and media.
