taz Talk: Professor Nathalie Singer discusses community radio as participatory media
Nathalie Singer, professor of Experimental Radio at the Faculty of Art and Design, will speak at taz Talk on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 7 p.m. on »Community Radio as Participatory Media.« The event will take place at the taz Kantine in Berlin and will be broadcast live on YouTube.
The public discussion will focus on the importance of independent radio stations as spaces for social participation, artistic practice, and alternative media production. For decades, independent and community radio stations have provided a platform for independent voices outside of commercial media. They facilitate access to media production, promote cultural diversity, and create spaces for collective debate, experimental storytelling, and journalistic counter-publicity.
How do artists use community radio to express themselves? Why is the journalistic perspective indispensable? What significance do community radio stations have in different social and cultural contexts? And how can such projects be promoted locally and internationally? These questions will be the focus of the taz Talk.
On the podium, Nathalie Singer will discuss these issues with other experts from the fields of journalism, radio practice, and community media. Moritz Martin, initiator of the »lost & found« format and project manager of the organizing taz Panter Foundation, will moderate the discussion. The event will be followed by a live music program.
