The Business of Changing Lives
Internews Launches Guide to Making Community Media Sustainable
(February 26, 2009) Internews has launched a wide-ranging new guide
addressing the challenge of how to make community media financially
sustainable in countries around the world. The Community Media
Sustainability Guide: The Business of Changing Lives (direct link:
http://www.internews.org/pubs/pdfs/InternewsCommunityMediaGuide2009.pdf
), is a 81-page publication covering topics such as incorporating new
online platforms and using alternative energy to power radio stations,
all with an eye to keeping the doors open in a sector not known for its
profitability.
"Years ago, the notion of a business model for community media would
have brought responses ranging from dismay to ridicule," lead author and
editor Jean Fairbairn writes in the introduction to the guide.
"Community media's origins in political struggle, its community
ownership structure, and its mission – to give voice to the voiceless,
to provide an alternative to mainstream media, to place control of media
in the hands of ordinary people – seem to contradict the notions of both
'business' and 'model.' Today, however, community media is a valued and
recognized part of the media landscape."
In the guide, case studies of community media outlets and networks
include creative solutions to the perpetual problem of finding enough
funding to stay in business. For instance, Radio Madanpokhara in Nepal
effectively gains community support by asking listeners to donate the
equivalent of a handful of rice, while the Coffee Lifeline project in
Rwanda relies on partnerships with international groups to supply
agricultural news to coffee farmers. Meanwhile, Desi Radio, serving
London's Punjabi community, thrives on a mixed business model that
includes selling advertising, conducting media trainings and hiring out
volunteers to dance at weddings.
"Community media are becoming increasingly recognized for their value in
connecting with hard-to-reach and marginalized populations," Fairbairn
said in a recent interview. "Because they are local and participatory,
they reach people in a way that is sensitive to local cultures, and in
local languages and dialects."
Seventy years since the first community radio stations began
broadcasting to tin miners in Bolivia, community media has come of age.
The Internews guide is being published just as governments around the
world are introducing legislation that enables and protects community
media, and as media outlets are learning to take advantage of the new
online media platforms to extend their reach and services.
The Community Media Sustainability Guide is designed for community media
practitioners and activists, trainers, and the donors and development
agencies that support them. The guide provides different perspectives on
sustainability, practical approaches to achieving it, and a
comprehensive list of resources for practitioners and activists.
The publication was funded by a grant to Internews Network from the US
Agency for International Development via a subgrant from Pact. The
advisory committee, many of whom wrote sections of the guide, includes
community media experts Kate Coyer, Bruce Girard, Franklin Huizies,
Birgitte Jallov, Bill Siemering, and Ivan Sigal.

Beken & Becus
Belakangan ini, banyak sentimen negatif terhadap artis-artis yang mendaftarkan diri menjadi caleg. Mereka dicap tidak cakap untuk menjadi anggota DPR. Tuduhan usang. Yang tidak cakap menjadi anggota dewan bisa dari mana saja, bisa artis, ulama, akuntan, dokter, wartawan, pedagang, pesulap, penata rambut, dan bermacam profesi lainnya. Mungkin juga sebaliknya, mereka semua cakap berpolitik……
