| Summary: | Current research aims to identify the notion of participatory visibility of web-radio listeners in Greece through the use of social media. A concurrent aim is to discuss how radio listeners intervene in the web-radio content production and by doing so, how they acquire participatory visibility. The way in which listeners of the web-radio station Radiobubble manage their participatory visibility through content production on Twitter and through the use of the participatory news-related hashtag #rbnews, is presented and analyzed. The selected period under analysis is June 11-17 2013, during which the Hellenic Radio-Television (ERT) was shut down. It is shown that web-radio listeners in Greece gain participatory visibility through the possibility of enacting participatory journalism, offered by www.radiobubble.gr online platform. The development of audio broadcasting via the web opens up discussion on the implications that emerge from the convergence of technology and about the impact this new environment has on radio listeners. |
