Radio is essentially a wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. And we act as if this spectrum was God-given to some people. Not others.
-
When we say that whites conquered the land, we forget they also conquered the airwaves. No treaty was ever signed. It was just taken.
-
The idea that public radio is partially an anecdote to for-profit radio completely suspends this fact.
-
It only makes worse the practice of public radio as an almost all-white space on a conquered spectrum.
-
The whole idea of the commons in the U.S., and all of the Americas, could stand to think about what is common, to whom, and why.

@aurabogado I'm studying this in my mass comm course. Radio was part of the dependency paradigm: development meant westernization. -
@BattyMamzelle So, I'd challenge that: I think too often, we forget who depended on whom... -
@BattyMamzelle White folks could never have had radio had they not first been living on land that was cared for and preserved by natives. -
@aurabogado I agree. There's a competing theory that basically says western media systems were only able to develop to this degree+ -
@aurabogado +because of the economic advantage they gained from their history of imperialism and colonization. -
@aurabogado basically that the current system is only possible through economic subjugation.
