This theoretical exercise explores the drawbacks of terms used in the literature to designate media intiatives made by, with, for and/or about migrants and minorities, such as «ethnic minority media» (Riggins 1992) and «diasporic media» (Tsagarousianou 2004; Georgiou 2003). Motivated by the need to find a sufficiently open, and yet operational, way of naming a research project’s object of study, radio programs, it builds on ideas related to media that supplement channels of mass-communication with alternatives deemed secondary (Online/More Color in the Media 2004; Dayan 1998; Sreberny-Mohammadi and Mohammadi 1994), to propose the notion of «minority radio» as a potentially suitable mid-range concept (Merton 1968).
