Ashoka
Introduction
For more than twenty years, Néstor has been democratizing communication as a crucial way to promote citizenship for all in Argentina and Latin America. Through a strong network of radio-broadcasters, he has developed an alternative to the media dominated by powerful groups by creating a communication model that allows for collaborative knowledge production, greater information dissemination and freedom of expression for marginalized communities. Néstor has built a national Coalition for Democratic Broadcasting that is proposing a new law to entrench the right to communication into the national agenda. Néstor’s next challenge will be to see through the implementation of this law and to enable community radio-broadcasters to occupy the space that he is about to open up. He aims to replicate his successes throughout the Americas.
