[creative-radio] Police Raid Mayan Community Radio Stations

Community Radio Needs Legal Support

[excerpt]

If there's a model of hope for the world's indigenous peoples, it is
the town of Todos Santos Cuchumatán in northwestern Guatemala. The
Mayans who live here still wear their traditional clothing with pride
and practice their traditional ceremonies and customs, and 95 percent
of the population still speaks Mam. At the same time, the people of
Todos Santos also participate vigorously in the larger society and
have a thriving economy.

The key to this indigenous success story is Radio Qman Txun, the
town's community radio station.The station's programs reinforce the
local language and the culture while also bringing news from the
nation and the world into the town. The station is all the more
important because the whole country of Guatemala is flooded with
Western music, information, and cultural standards, and without Radio
Qman Txun, those influences would quickly overwhelm the town.

But Radio Qman Txun, along with all the other community radio
stations in Guatemala, is at extreme risk. Elements in the government
do not want these stations to succeed. In past few weeks police have
raided four radio stations near Todos Santos and confiscated all the
equipment. The country's constitution guarantees the right to
community radio, but the telecommunications law does not, and
government forces are using the pretext of this law to shut down the
stations and cut off this vital cultural lifeline.

This assault on Mayan culture has to stop, and right now we have a
unique chance to do it: a new telecommunications bill has been
introduced in the Guatemalan Congress, and recent elections resulted
in 94 of the 158 members of Congress being new. We have a very short
window of time to reach these new legislators before they are swamped
with conflicting agendas. And the math is all too simple: for the new
bill to pass, 80 legislators must vote for the bill. Currently, we
have the support of 24; we need 56 more.

The only way to persuade the rest of the politicians isfor hundreds
of people from the countryside to go to Guatemala City to meet with
their congressional representatives and explain just how important
these stations are to their cultural survival. This needs to happen
right away, and it is a massive undertaking, requiring funds to pay
for bus trips, phone cards, lodging, and food. We have volunteers
willing to take the seven-hour bus ride to the capital to protect
their freedom of speech, but we need your help to get them there.
Your contribution will be leveraged into a new democracy and a chance
for Mayan culture to thrive.

[creative-radio] FCC awards free103point9 a 3,300-watt FM station in upstate New York

For immediate release

NEW COMMUNITY RADIO STATION COMING TO GREENE AND COLUMBIA COUNTIES

The Federal Communications Commission awarded non-profit arts group free103point9 a
license for a 3,300-watt non-commercial FM radio station on 90.7-FM last week.

The new station, with studios envisioned in Cairo, Catskill, and Hudson, will broadcast
local musicians and artists, as well as community news, and programs about local schools,
history, agriculture, the environment, and more. An online version of the station will
launch early next year and provide community members an opportunity to get involved
while the FM station is in progress. The online radio broadcast will also feature local town
meetings, high school sports championships, as well as local performances, lectures,
workshops, and a broad spectrum of creative radio or radio art programs. Many local
events will also be broadcast live on the FM station.

"Community radio is a unique volunteer-based media format," said Catskill resident and
media educator Aliza Dichter, "This station will be a way for us to both boost our local
economy and celebrate the diverse cultures in our area. We can deal with serious issues,
have fun, and build bridges across our towns and across the two counties."

"We want to give members of the community a chance to take the microphone, go on the
air, and talk about what is going on in Greene and Columbia counties," says free103point9
Program Director Tom Roe. "This is a special opportunity for this area, and all the talented
artists, hard-working activists, and unique personalities here to become the local media."

During the day the station will feature weekly and monthly programs on topics such as
gardening, hunting, schools, arts, music, politics, and other issues important to the
community. There will be programs by youth and for children. Evenings will feature DJs
and live broadcasts from events all over the two counties. Late nights and Saturdays will
be filled with international radio art, experimental music, and special local broadcasts.
"The week before elections we want to give every local candidate the chance to go on the
air and give listeners specific reasons to vote for them," Roe says.

Critical support from this project began in 2007 with interest from local agencies and
community leaders; small donations from individuals and families across the region made
it possible to conduct the initial legal and engineering work for the application. Planning
for the radio station is now underway with leadership from a Community Council that
includes Haines Fall's Dharma Dailey (Ethos Wireless); Hudson artist Max Goldfarb;
Hosneara Kader (Hudson Family Literacy); Debra Kamecke (Cairo Public Library);
free103point9's Tom Roe; Alan Skerrett (Columbia County NAACP); Hudson Talbot (Catskill
Community Center); and Andy Turner (Cornell Cooperative Extension Agroforestry
Resource Center). Aliza Dichter (Catskill Community Center), Galen Joseph-Hunter
(free103point9) and Kaya Weidmann (Germantown Community Farm) have also provided
crucial efforts and support for the station project.

Based in an area between the huge New York City media market to the south and the
Capitol District to the North, the villages and rural communities of Greene and Columbia
Counties have little in the way of local broadcast media, with only occasional coverage in
regional news. As a valuable complement to our various daily/weekly town papers, this
Greene Columbia community radio station will be a unique forum for discussions, news,
culture, and emergency information across our two Counties.

Artists and activists lack a central network here for letting people know about their work.
Live performances from local venues will sometimes be featured in the evenings on the
online web streams and the FM radio station. "We are looking forward to collaborating with
the many extraordinary organizations in our area, and providing an opportunity for their
programs to be on the air," says free103point9 Executive Director, Galen Joseph-Hunter.

"We've spent the year since we applied for the station building relationships with cultural,
civic, and economic groups across the listening area. Partnering with groups that are
already providing important services to our community is a key part of our strategy for
getting the most value to the community out of having a new radio station," says Dharma
Dailey. "The station will support media literacy and media production for groups like the
Catskill Community Center and the Agroforestry Center, as well as schools, libraries, and
local businesses. We are also interested in working with other broadcasters and news
outlets to improve news coverage throughout Columbia and Greene counties."

free103point9 is a non-profit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating
the genre Transmission Arts. free103point9 activities support and promote artists
exploring the many forms of "radio art" including works about the idea of transmission or
using the physical properties of the electromagnetic spectrum. free103point9's programs
include public performances and exhibitions, an online radio station, the free103point9
Transmission Artists, an artist residency program, grant opportunities, a distribution label,
a sculpture garden, and an education initiative including a study center and online archive.
This FM station will be the first radio station in the U.S. to focus on radio art (many
stations in Europe and Canada do).

free103point9 will webcast a performance by avant folk musicians MV & EE with the
Golden Road and local musician Jeremy Kelly at 9 p.m. Fri. Nov. 7 at The Spotty Dog Books
& Ale at 440 Warren St. in Hudson, NY, and will be giving out more information about the
new FM station at the performance. Admission is $5.

Initial fundraising and planning for the station, which should be on the air in 2010, will
begin this winter. A series of workshops to train citizen journalists and reporters are
planned next year at the Cairo Public Library, Catskill Community Center, Germantown
Community Farm, and other locations. Please contact Tom Roe at tr@free103point9.org or
518-622-2598 to get involved, or for more information.

[creative-radio] Native Radio Building Community



Native Radio Building Community

http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/3920/native_radio_building_community/

[excerpt]

For many communities ­ especially the country's Native American
tribes ­ radio still promises a way to spread news, share stories and
support a cultural or regional identity.

September 27, 2008
By Mike Janssen

As new technologies take hold in the marketplace ­ and in the minds
of consumers ­ old media are starting to look, well, older. FM radio
is no exception. The debut of new cell phones that deliver audio
applications spurred predictions of radio's demise.

But for many communities, radio still promises a way to spread news,
share stories and support a cultural or regional identity. This is
especially true for the country's Native American tribes, which have
seized a rare chance to start new radio stations as a way of
strengthening their communities.

Last fall, many Native people joined hundreds of schools, activists,
churches and nonprofit groups that applied for new noncommercial FM
stations with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Most of
these applications were for frequencies in smaller towns and rural
areas. (Radio spectrum in larger cities is too crowded to accommodate
new signals).

Because the FCC had not accepted applications for noncommercial
stations in more than seven years, demand was high.

Things change very slowly or in an eye-blink; on the other hand, we morph from within
imperceptibly and quite unnoticed by things. We can't arrest flux only choose to be a part
of it or, not.a cake: ready for the pineapple, everything's already upside down.

Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Not distractible at the moment.

Set a place at the table for sober reflection campers...take a peek in the mirror and ask
one question; "Who are you?" Only one person can answer this one and no need to share
the answer. Just good to have a tiny grip of your basics. Fellow beings will benefit
obliquely from your knowledge and that is reward enough.

Current mood: thirsty

Another old-timer's wanking on about how slender the thread of broadcast venues has
become. No more 'best of all possible worlds' from WHAM in Rochester, Harry Abraham
kept many a late night drive interesting for more times than i can remember. Reading,
chatting, playing whatever seemed appropriate to the mood, many mornings 5 am would
find me still around the receiver inside, after a long commute, just to finish off the
program. RIP.
Crickets, creeks, suburbia & chevys in the pasture. Frank, miles, ornette, timmy thomas,
little beaver, joni, rava & all the browns james, clifford & john. Funky Nassau, the drells
and archie bell.. distortion, krazy kat & nasa video. Perfect sloppy paint-slingers,
homebrew & handmade doodads. Donuts, mckenna & detroit finishes. Sidewalks,
accidental urban design, a napkin to draw on & outdoor chess. Overheard conversations &
voices like angels with their hair on fire. Jobim, good radio, a well told story, the right
color in the right place and a job well done. Cinnamon toast and strong coffee, hotel
danish in montreal, fuzz dogs and cats nieces and nephews & the horizontal.

Sounds Like You have to be there.

[creative-radio] www.africanelections.org - Elections Project

A
number of West African countries, namely Ghana, Guinea, and Cote
d¡lvoire, will organize elections this year and 2009. Access to
balanced and unbiased information on elections is still a key problem
in these countries.





The problem is compounded by lack of skills required by the media to
navigate the sometimes difficult space of elections. Again, media
professionals in these countries lack information and knowledge
resources to report elections in a balanced and unbiased manner.

In order to provide elections information and knowledge at one central point, the International Institute for ICT Journalism(www.penplusbytes.org) in partnership and with funding from the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) and other partners are embarking on West African Elections Information and Knowledge Project.

The project covering Ghana, Guinea and Cote d'lvoire is made up of six
key components namely training of senior editors, journalists and
reporters as well as developing and disseminating of an Election
Reporting Guide for the Media, SMS/Mobile application in election
coverage and monitoring, Information and Knowledge Online Portal,
Knowledge products for the media and Media Content Monitoring.

The elections portal is live and provides up to the minute elections news, features, live results, analysis and more
To visit the  elections portal go to http://www.africanelections.org

For more information contact
GHANA ghelections@penplusbytes.org
