| and Stéphanie Barbey |
| |
| |
| In Niger, where more than 80% of |
| the population is illiterate, radio |
| is the main means of mass |
| communication. Simple yet |
| reliable, the radio is |
| everywhere?in the streets, homes, |
| and the bush. It entertains, |
| educates, informs, and helps |
| provide a check on power. Today, |
| through the radio waves, the |
| citizens of Niger seize the |
| microphone and taste democracy. It |
| is revolution FM. |
