[grc] More on radio in Bolivia

[Ann Garrison]

This was written before the right wing seized power in Bolivia and
reportedly closed 53 community radio stations:

"Radio has a special significance in Bolivia, especially in the remote
regions. Even today, the mainstream media in Bolivia are confined to the
cities – La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, Sucre and Oruro. In small towns
and villages, newspapers are not available, and only few people can afford
a TV set. Even more, many people still cannot read, especially in rural
areas. Radio stations are the voice of the community, and people like Rosa
Jalja are real authorities. Antennas are almost everywhere – there are over
300 community radio stations in Bolivia.
