Chapter 7: Ownership and Management Philosophies highlights the thinking, beliefs, and values that guide the operation of community radio stations (CRS) in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. Taking into consideration CR practices around the world, the data gathered from the 11 case studies was organised under four headings: approaches to management and communication, internal policies, economic sustainability, and editorial independence. Each of these key thematic areas is addressed individually under each country and then a consolidated overview is provided for an understanding across the South Asia region.
