Abstract:
Educational radio stations in Israel, which have operated for at least 25 years, are inspired by the American college radio. This article investigated the functions and contributions of radio to students and to the media industry in general and radio broadcasts in particular. A research survey was distributed on aspects of the media industry and interviews with educational radio activists were conducted. The findings indicate that schools of communication believe and invest in integrating practical experience. As a result, students acquire abilities and practical skills as well as knowledge of the communications world. Students operate educational radio stations with high levels of motivation and self-fulfillment. These student efforts and support from academic institutions bear fruit as the media industry acknowledges the value of educational radio studies graduates and appreciates their preparedness to integrate into the industry.
