Abstract

This contribution outlines Radio Radicale (RR); on one hand RR is a political and media project, different from commercial or public radios, on the other hand, RR is not merely the Radio of the Radical Party but also a public service broadcaster and an informative radio. The hypothesis is that RR is a paradigmatic case to explain how, faced with a crisis of traditional policy/parties and of legacy media, the identity of some former Community Media tends to be reconfigured. The paper provides an analysis of history of RR, an analysis of RR programs and an analysis of interviews of RR journalists.
