Voice of Algeria
At the time of the French colonialism in Algeria, there was a radio channel under the name Radio-Alger, which was owned by the French. Algerians refused to tune in and wanted to produce something original.
To fight against colonialism through the media, the Voice of Algeria emerged. It was something that was theirs; it reflected their heritage and sovereignty. (Fanon, 1994)
Free Radio
Free radio is an expression of immediacy and a rejection of state and corporate control.
Dunifer, 2010.
Keep in mind that free radio is not anything like an NGO, as it does not operate under formal institutional laws. Free radio stations require no more validation than that given by their creators (Dunifer, 2010), which is why they cause harm, and hence resistance, against the governmental capitalist system.
