History

Radioexpert is a not-for-profit public service organization founded in 2003 to organize and expedite the continuing activities in support of community media worldwide. Our early activities included advocating the development of community radio in the United States and Europe, building a template for community media social enterprise, and developing training modules for best practices in community media. We also did individual station consulting, and developed university courses in community media.
Today, radioexpert.org incorporates all those activities and more into an effective and accessible group of tools and services serving community media worldwide.
