Resumo(s)
The present study examines new opportunities offered by the introduction of
information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance the development
journalism practice, in order to enlarge the public sphere and empower ordinary people
to participate more actively in public debate on issues affecting their development. The
analysis of the achievements and challenges faced by 32 radio stations under the
UNESCO project “Empowering Local Radios with ICTs” offers an overview of the
introduction of ICTs in different contexts, within and among seven countries in Sub-
Saharan Africa. Even though the lack of ICTs access and knowledge is still a concern in
the developing world, especially in rural areas, these new tools can be adapted to each
context and foster a more pluralistic and participative media in order to address people’s
needs and promote social change.
