Students’ Radio Program and the Perspective of Journalistic Cooperation in the Region

Zemlje u regiji različito su iskoristile mogućnosti otvaranja i afirmiranja studentskih radiopostaja. U Srbiji 2010. godine nije bilo specijaliziranih radiopostaja namijenjenih studentskoj populaciji, nego samo nekoliko radijskih emisija koje pripremaju studenti novinarstva. Za razliku od Srbije u drugim zemljama u regiji – u Sloveniji, Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini te u Mađarskoj – postoji više specijaliziranih radiopostaja koje su namijenjene isključivo studentskoj populaciji. Cilj rada jest ukazati na to koji je najbolji model održivog studentskog radija i kakva je perspektiva suradnje studenata novinara u regiji. Budućnost studentskog radija u Srbiji pod okriljem državnih sveučilišta nije izvjesna, iako postoji mogućnost za osnivanje postaja.Within the various countries of southeastern Europe, one may find various examples where student radio stations are promoted. In 2009, there was no specialized radio stations aimed at the student population in Serbia. In fact, there were only a handful of radio programs that were prepared by journalism students. On the contrary, in countries like Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Hungary, there are a number of specialized radio stations whose primary target group is the student population, including Radio Študent in Ljubljana, Radio Student in Zagreb, Studentski radio BB in Split, Studentski eFM radio in Sarajevo, and Radio Mi Szeged. As such, the aim of this study is to suggest the best model for sustainable student radio programming and make recommendations for future opportunities of cooperation among journalism students in the region. The future of student radio stations in Serbia, which function as a part of the state university system, is not certain, although more stations can be found today than in 2009
