Community radio's capacity for mobilizing communication by providing voices that otherwise go unheard with an alternative outlet to commercial mass media has been explored in several texts, including William Barlow's "Community radio in the US: The struggle for a democratic medium" (1988), Charles Fairchild's Community radio and public culture: Being an examination of media access and equity in the nations of North America (Hampton Press, 2001), Colin Fraser and Sonia Restrepo-Estrada's "Community radio for change and development" (2002), Susan Forde, Kerrie Foxwell, and Michael Meadows' "Creating a community public sphere: Community radio as a cultural resource" (2002), Nick Couldry and Tanja Dreher's "Globalization and the public sphere: Exploring the space of community media in Sydney" (2007), Janey Gordon's Community radio in the twenty first century (Peter Lang, 2012), and Anne F. MacLennan's "Cultural imperialism of the North? The expansion of the CBC Northern Service and community radio" (2011). Juliet Fox's Community radio's amplification of communication for social change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) raises similar themes, although diverges in its deep-dive into community radio using a critical Communication for Social Change (CfSC) framework, which promotes media democratization through community ownership, community knowledge promotion and dissemination, and community empowerment.
