The sound installation transmits the stories of six refugees, living in different cities across the U.S. to six radios. The voices of the refugees are superimposed and coordinated in both rhythm and tonality to unite their narratives of struggle, survival and triumph.

Ann Heppermann and Kara Oehler are free103point9 Transmission Artists. For more information see:

Citizens of Gabriola Island want a community radio station, so they can hear
local culture on the air and have the benefit of emergency broadcasting.
Rogers wants them to step aside for lite rock programming from Victoria, and
has decided to speak against the islanders' CRTC application. The case
reminds us of the struggle and value of community radio stations around the
world.

[excerpt]

A PIRATE radio station operating from the back of a butchery in Mdantsane
is growing in popularity – but is now under investigation.

About two weeks ago, the pirate Mdantsane FM – nicknamed Mdiza FM – went
live on the 99.5 frequency and has since hosted a number of talks with
local politicians and taxi and youth associations.

The station caused confusion among residents, who were eagerly awaiting
the launch of a community radio station with a similar name.

The community station had been granted a licence by the Independent
Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) and was supposed to
operate on the 104 frequency.

Mdiza FM station manager and local businessman Siviwe Mahlahla yesterday
admitted his station had no licence and was operating "underground" while
awaiting Icasa ap- proval .

When the Daily Dispatch visited the station, which operates from an empty
room at the back of Mahlahla's butchery in NU5, equipment was set up on a
makeshift table.

Radio DJs and local guests were sitting on plastic stools. The station had
no sound-proofing and no doors.

Mahlahla said: "The station creates practical opportunities for people who
have love for radio but could not get proper training."

Deputy chairperson of Mdantsane Community Radio Station Bethwell Zulu said
the news of a station trading as Mdantsane FM created a lot of confusion.

"We had a meeting with our stakeholders, including Buffalo City
Municipality and the Department of Communication and this new radio
station was mentioned, " Zulu said.

1. Latest update on George Lessard's pending trip to Chelyabinsk, Russi
Posted by: "George Lessard" mediamentor@gmail.com themediamentor
Date: Sun Mar 22, 2009 1:47 pm ((PDT))

My passport with it's Russian visa arrived from the agency that's sending me
to Russia http://www.ceso-saco.com on Friday 20 March along with my expenses
cheque for $545 (with and average weekly income of $50 US in the Chelyabinsk
region of Russia) which should be more than enough to take care of my needs
for my two weeks there.

I leave on Friday the 27th and return to Yellowknife on Easter Sunday. Too
bad I'm not in Russia for the Eastern Orthodox celebration of Easter... I
would have liked to attend a mass there to see how they do it...

I fly from Yellowknife to Calgary via Jazz, Calgary to Frankfurt via Air
Canada, Frankfurt to Moscow via Lufthansa and overnight in Moscow at the
"Arbat" hotel http://www.president-hotel.net/arbat/?lang=Eng
(Google search result <
http://www.google.ca/search?q=arbat+hotel+moscow&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enCA220CA220&aq=t
>
or at the Moscow DME Synixis Domodedovo Airhotel http://www.airhotel.ru/
(Russian only) http://www.tomoscow.com/aeroteldom.html (depending on which
docuument is correct... I'll have to check on this)...

Then the next day I'm flying on an airline called S7 (?) (Some where I think
I saw it called Siberian Airlines) for a two and a quater hour flight to
Chelyabinsk... no word of where I'm staying in Chelyabinsk.. some times one
get put up in a hotel... other times its in a home.. should be
interesting...

I'm brining a laptop and a camera... but my new MAC BOOK PRO hard crashed
(Apple says it needs a service centre and that it might be the ram.. nearest
one is Edmonton... so it will not return before I leave.. so I'll bring my
old MAC or my PC laptop.... I bought a point and shoo digital camera to
bring but I'm rethinking that and will probably bring my full SLR kit...

I'll be trying to post ongoing updates to my Overseas Blog at
http://mediamentor-overseas.blogspot.com/
and pictures to my Flickr site at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/george-lessard/sets/72157613820810814/

Call For Submissions / Eyelevel Gallery And The Halifax Audio Club /
Halifax, NS / Deadline Date: Friday, April 10, 2009

Eyelevel Gallery and HAC (the Halifax Audio Club) seek completed works for
its latest Listening Cinema project: Audio Bathhouse-an offsite audio and
video presentation in June 2009. This one night event, in tandem with the
Halifax wide Sound Bytes Festival, will open at SeaDog's Sauna & Spa to
the general public for an audio art experience like no other.

The Halifax Audio Club invites established and emerging artists to submit
completed audio and audio/video works (10 minutes or less) for
presentation in the SeaDog's Bathhouse. We encourage site-specific works,
and works that consider the audio over the visual.

Sea Dog's is an active 2-level bathhouse. The space consists of several
rooms (including 23 private rooms, a dark bondage room, a sauna, a
whirlpool, etc). The whole space is dimly lit and has a nautical theme.
The Halifax Audio Club will be renting the space for this one night event.

There are various areas to be activated (see below). The playback systems
will be fairly low tech, audio for stereo playback, and video for monitor
playback.

We seek works for the following locations:
- Audio for Dark room (no lights, includes couch and wall handcuffs)
- Audio for Sling room and Maze (darkened area with leather slings and
metal maze)

benches, approx. 6 feet by 6 feet, seats approx 8 people comfortably at a
time)
- Audio for the revolving door (metal revolving capsule, big enough for
one person)
- Video for private rooms (Many private rooms with beds receive the same
video feed to monitors. Rooms are very small, there are mirrors on the
walls and ceilings. the rooms are dimly lit.)
- Video for Group room (large flat-screen monitor with nearby couch/bed,
dimly lit area with space for approximately 15 people to view the work)
- Video only for Hot Tub - (there is a video screen beside the whirlpool.
We want video to go with sounds generated live by the functioning hot
tub!)

Seven artists will be chosen to participate and each artist will be given
a $350 screening fee.

1. New Free Radio resources - Growing Pains: children, poverty and AIDS
Posted by: "Panos London" panos.london@panos.org.uk
Date: Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:54 pm ((PDT))


Growing pains: Young children, poverty and AIDS in South Africa


Radio features - free and ready-to-broadcast

Being nurtured with help of a loving caregiver helps children to build
lifelong emotional resilience. But for many children, especially those
who witness their parents and relatives die, their early years can bring
pain and suffering.

In this series of five short radio features, children, parents, carers
and experts in South Africa speak frankly about meeting the challenges
of growing up in the face of bereavement, poverty and AIDS.

The features are accompanied by full scripts, and an un-narrated version
so that the features can be placed easily within a radio programme.

1. Fledgling Years <http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26720>

High levels of poverty and HIV push many families to breaking point.
What's the impact on children? In this feature we visit an early child
development site outside Johannesburg and hear how to mend the
parent-child relationship - http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26720
<http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26720>
Duration: 00:06:01

2. A place to grow <http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26722>

Pre-school education helps children grow holistically. But the quality
of provision is patchy - with poor neighbourhoods often missing out as
this feature from rural KwaZulu-Natal explores -
http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26722 <http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26722>

Duration: 00:05:41

3. A family pulls together: Lungi's story
<http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26724>

Lungi Ngidi's mother died when her daughter was still at school, leaving
her future education in jeopardy and Lungi in charge of her brothers and
sisters - http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26724
<http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26724>
Duration: 00:03:42

4. Children left behind: the right to grieve
<http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26727>

Growing up without parents can be traumatic. Children and families may
need professional help to express their grief fully but there are often
not enough psychological services to support them -
http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26727 <http://www.panos.org.uk/?lid=26727>
Duration: 00:03:06

2. [Info] Mini Konser Efek Rumah Kaca di Malang, 22 Maret

Date: Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:56 pm ((PDT))

Surabaya, 20 Maret 2009. Hampir seminggu rombongan Efek Rumah Kaca menyambangi Surabaya dalam rangkain tour produk baru permen Marbels ke beberapa SMP.. Bergelut dengan panasnya kota Pahlawan, Cholil, Adrian, dan Akbar menyelipkan satu pesan singkat tentang makin maraknya penyalahgunaan fungsi alat rekam handphone yang digunakan untuk mengabadikan kejadian-kejadian porno. Single pertama dari album "Kamar Gelap" berjudul "Kenakalan Remaja di Era Informatika" ternyata sangat populer dikalangan pelajar SMP tersebut, mereka kebanyakan mengakses video klip Efek Rumah Kaca melalui youtube.
Efek Rumah Kaca yang didapuk Marbels untuk mengikuti tour dari Jakarta, Bandung, dan Surabaya tersebut akan berakhir pada Sabtu nanti. Selanjutnya Efek Rumah Kaca akan menjalani mini konser di kota Malang, ini adalah kali pertama ERK mengunjungi kota pelajar Malang. ERK akan menggelar konser di MIG Club & Pool Jl. Soekarno Hatta Blok A No. 8,  pada hari Minggu 22 Maret 2009 pukul 18.00. Mini konser tersebut juga akan dibarengi dengan peluncuran singel kedua bertajuk "Mosi Tidak Percaya". Tiket yang dibandrol Rp. 15.000,- sampai hari ini tinggal beberapa tempat lagi yang tersisa. Para personel ERK-pun sudah tidak sabar untuk  bersama memacu adrenalin di kota Malang yang dingin. Bagi teman-teman di Malang bisa mendapatkan tiket dengan menghubungi Rossi "Begundal Lowokwaru" di nomor telp. 085646296149. Sampai berjumpa di Malang.

Is it not time that the big stations/networks saw the cost of changing a community station to another frequency, and pay for all the costs (including the time of the people involved)?

3. What is the Audio/Video Edition of NGO-in-a-box?
Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor
Date: Fri Mar 20, 2009 3:02 am ((PDT))

The Audio/Video edition of NGO-in-a-Box is a toolkit that lowers the entry
level for NGOs, non-profits and media activists wanting to use audio and
video for social change. It is a collection of Free and Open Source
Software (FOSS) tools, documentation and tutorials that introduce you to
the world of FOSS and the low-cost technology that is transforming the
balance of forces in the realm of media production.

Traditionally audio and video production and distribution have been cost
prohibitive for many people, particularly for those in developing
countries. New technologies are dramatically changing that. Tactical Tech
and EngageMedia have collaborated to put together a toolkit that lowers
the entry level for organisations and individuals wanting to use audio and
video as a tool for social change. [read more]
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=node/1

Video
FOSS video is still in the early stages of development however there are
still many great tools that compete well with their proprietary rivals.
The selections in this toolkit cover topics such as:

* capture and editing - transferring video footage from your camera
onto your computer and editing and adding effects and transitions.
* compression and encoding - reducing the file size of your video and
converting it to appropriate formats for storage and distribution.
* DVD/VCD - ripping content from DVDs or VCDs for saving on your
computer and authoring your compilations of video for burning on
DVD/VCD media for storage or distribution.
* online distribution - distributing your video content over the
Internet allowing people to download, watch streaming video or
subscribe to video podcasts.
* video players - playing video content on a computer from a variety
of formats.


Video
Capture, Editing and Post-Production
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/58

Video
Online Distribution
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/53

Vodcasting
* Video podcasting (vodcasting) is a way to subscribe to video feeds.
Each time a new video is added subscribers receive notification and
can instantly download the new video. The software listed here either
allows you to create a vodcast or to subscribe to them.
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/125

Video Streaming

* Video Streaming is a way for you to create your own television
channel on the web. Video podcasting has begun to replace streaming
for creating a channnel as it doesn't need to be broadcast live and
can be available at any time. Streaming however can be great for
events that you want others to view live and in real time around the
world. You can also archive the stream and put it on the web for
later.
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/59

Audio Editing and Compressing

* The tools included here enable you to work with the audio material
that you have collected or created to produce radio or music pieces.
Also listed are tools for compressing your audio piece after you have
created it for distribution.
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/1

Podcasting and Online Distribution

* Distributing your audio on the internet is a great way to reach
thousands of people anywhere in the world with very little effort and
cost. You no longer need an expensive transmitter to distribute your
productions. You can use streaming - allowing users to listen like
radio, podcasting - which allows users to subscribe to shows like you
would a magazine or simply upload it onto a website for download.
Audio online is also very easy to use on your local community radio
station, creating a great complimentary distribution mechanism.
http://av.ngoinabox.org/?q=toolpage/120

Audio Streaming

* Audio streaming allows you to send out live audio over the internet.
It's a way to create your own internet radio station and is
particularly useful during events or where broadcast laws restrict you
from transmitting via radio waves.

1. PSA Conference Announcement: Abstract Submission Date Extended by 5
Posted by: "Satish Jung Shahi" satish@panossouthasia.org sjshahi
Date: Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:17 am ((PDT))

Announcement for submitting papers for
South Asian Conference on

'New Media Technologies and Freedom of Expression'

3 - 4 May 2009, Kathmandu, Nepal

______________________________________________________

The 'freedom of expression' as safeguarded by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19 has consistently been subject to intimidation by various social, political and economic actions in the sub-continent of South Asian democracies in the past few years. Lately in South Asian countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan the press has been attacked, journalists assassinated, threatened and intimidated in their endeavour to uphold the principles and ethos of freedom of press and freedom of expression.

Though how dismal the situation maybe with press freedom and freedom of expression in South Asian countries, the new media technologies such as the Internet, hand-held devices (cell phones, PDAs) and wireless devices, and their applications like citizen journalism, blogs, Youtube and so on have provided promising opportunities to uphold freedom of press and freedom of expression in the sub-continent and elsewhere.

In this context of opportunities provided by new media technologies, to commemorate the World Press Freedom Day (3 May 2009), Panos South Asia (PSA) is organising a two day sub-regional conference 'South Asian Conference on New Media Technologies and Freedom of Expression' in Kathmandu, Nepal from 3 - 4 May 2009. The conference aims to provide a forum for practitioners of new media technologies and freedom of expression for knowledge sharing and fostering a regional solidarity.

Interested individual and institutional practitioners, researchers, academicians and related others from South Asian countries and elsewhere, in this regard are requested to submit an abstract (not more than 500 words) on three categories of: 1) New Media Technologies and Mainstream Media; 2) New Media Technologies and Citizen Journalism; and 3) New Media Technologies and Freedom of Expression/Information. In the first category the papers should address the issues of how new media technologies have been applied in the context of upholding press freedom in mainstream media practices. In the second category, submitted papers should address the issues of new media and citizen journalism and how it upholds freedom of expression/information. And the last but not the least category, the papers should discourse the overall issues of new media technologies and freedom of expression/information.

Papers submitted shall be selected on the basis of the accuracy to address and discourse the themes categorised in the preceding paragraph. For each category 4-5 papers shall be selected, which will be presented during the conference and published later by Panos South Asia.

Interested individual and institutional practitioners, researchers, academicians and related others may submit their abstracts with a brief bio-data by e-mail to prsa@panosradiosouthasia.org by 25 March 2009. Only selected paper authors will be notified by PSA by 31 March 2009. The complete papers of the selected abstracts need to be submitted by 20 April 2009. The costs (travel, food, hotel etc) for attending the conference by the authors of the selected papers shall be covered by Panos South Asia.

2. Single Kedua Efek Rumah Kaca: "Mosi Tidak Percaya"
Posted by: "yurskie." yurskie_erk@yahoo.com yurskie_erk
Date: Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:17 am ((PDT))

Single Kedua Efek Rumah Kaca: "Mosi Tidak Percaya"
 
Album kedua Efek Rumah Kaca, Kamar Gelap, cukup menuai respons positif dengan penampilan single pertama "Kenakalan Remaja di Era Informatika"- sebuah lagu up beat yang mengangkat fenomena menyebarnya rekaman video seks dengan menggunakan kamera hand phone.  Kini Efek Rumah Kaca memperkenalkan single kedua berjudul "Mosi Tidak Percaya".
 
"Mosi Tidak Percaya" terdengar menghentak. Pendekatan musik dan liriknya begitu langsung pada apa yang ingin disampaikannya. Sebuah lagu bertema politik tentang orang-orang kepercayaan kita yang sulit dipercaya. Mengusung tema politik sekali pun- dalam kemasan Efek Rumah Kaca-  tidak menjadikan lagu ini "berjarak" dengan pendengarnya, terutama anak muda. Bahkan mungkin saja terasa sangat kontekstual dengan iklim politik sekarang. Hari ini, bisa jadi "semua orang" ngomongin politik.
 
Secara musik, "Mosi Tidak Percaya" menunjukkan aroma punk rock yang terasa kental. Sangat catchy, mudah disimak, berenergi. Tapi, tetap dalam rasa khas Efek Rumah Kaca. Bagi mereka yang mengikuti band ini, tidak jadi kehilangan sidik jari. Labih pada kejutan yang seru.
 
Bagian refrain "Mosi Tidak Percaya" bagai anthem yang mengajak pendengar untuk bernyanyi bersama. Siapa pun bisa dengan mudah mengikuti teriakan resah vokalis/gitaris Cholil : "Ini mosi tidak percaya/ Jangan anggap kami tak berdaya".
 
Bahkan, Cholil sudah geram sejak bait-bait pertama:
 
Ini masalah kuasa
Alibimu berharga
Kalau kami tak percaya
Lantas kau mau apa?
 
Lalu, dengan suara yang lebih tenang, Cholil mengulang-ulang kalimat ini: "Janjimu pelan-pelan akan menelanmu".
 
Dibalik campur aduk emosi lagu ini, apa yang ditawarkan Efek Rumah Kaca sebenarnya hal yang sederhana. "Mosi Tidak Percaya" tentang apa yang sedang kita bicarakan bersama. Karenanya, bisa ada di pikiran siapa saja.
 
 
EFEK RUMAH KACA adalah:
Cholil: gitar & vokal
Adrian: bas & vokal latar
Akbar: drum & vokal latar
 
Untuk berbagai informasi promosi, tangga lagu/chart, dan sebagainya silakan menghubungi Yuri (Booking/Promotion Manager) melalui efekrumahkaca@gmail.com atau 081394257339.
 
Terima kasih.

BBC World Service can offer citizens equipment and training for Your
Story project
Posted: 12/03/09 By: Judith Townend

Your Story is the BBC World Service's citizen journalism project,
running since June 2008. Anyone can send in ideas for stories and news
reports, or personal stories, photos, audio and video.

Nina Robinson, a senior broadcast journalist at the BBC World Service,
runs the project and works with individuals to pursue report ideas and
will provide them with recording equipment, and training and advice,
she says. Robinson then edits material received.

Some of it ends up on the blog and some of it ends up on air: on
Newshour, The World Today, Europe Today, World Update and Outlook.
Other bits are featured online.

"We've had contributors from all over the world," Robinson tells
Journalism.co.uk. "Most of them have a burning issue they care about
and want to research it further by doing a report on it," she says.

For example, there was 19 year old Ricardo from a favela in Brazil on
living with violence; David Urbina who is HIV positive and covered an
AIDS conference in Mexico; Xuanxuan, a student who reported from the
Beijing Olympics; and a group of British teenage mothers who discussed
issues on World Contraception Day.

[..]

"It's all about communicating with people. I see it a bit as a
democratisation of the news process. Rather than the BBC as a news
organisation dictating the news agenda, we're listening to what people
are telling us, taking in their opinions, thoughts, sometimes
eyewitness accounts - whether they be in the form of photos, videos,
or opinion pieces."

Personal highlights for Robinson include the time she worked with
Baktash Siawash in Afghanistan - reporting on a school girl whose face
was splashed with acid by the Taliban;
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/interact/2008/12/081211_yourstory_afghanacid.shtml>
and when she covered Obama's inauguration, gathering 'grassroots
perspectives'.
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/interact/2009/01/090113_yourstory_obama.shtml>
Robinson also flags up a series of reports from citizen journalists on the
economy in Detroit.
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/interact/2009/02/090227_yourstorydetroiteconomy.shtml>
See the Your Story photos of Detroit on flickr
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/bbcworldservice/sets/72157612868942751/>


Now, the team is working to build the blog to incorporate further with
the World Have Your Say (WHYS) blog community.
http://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/citizen-journalism-on-whys/


"Eventually we might have citizen journalists in every country in the
world, someone who will be available to give us an on the ground
personal view if there's a relevant news event, especially in those
hard to reach areas where we do not always have reporters - Riyadh,
Darfur, Gaza, for example," she says.

"We are continuing to send out equipment," she adds. Videos, such as
the promotional one at this link, are intended to build exposure.
http://www.vimeo.com/2771765

[...]

Twitter is another new focus for the project - a recent blog post
described Robinson's enthusiasm for the project. "I'm trying to do
more on Twitter - I'm a convert and excited about the possibilities it
offers to reach out to a wider community."

The project works alongside other BBC projects, she says. "It fits
into other world service news programmes as part of the multimedia hub
here in news and current affairs. I offer material to programmes to
run and also offer ideas for debate and interview, so there's a lot of
communication going on. They are also asking me to get equipment to
certain people they think would make good citizen journalists."


----------------------------------


Your Story
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/bbcworldservice/collections/72157608617769756/>

Your Story is a fast-developing multimedia website offering a unique place
for BBC World Service listeners and potential citizen journalists to
contribute directly to our output.

You can send us your photos, video and ideas for news stories. If you
think you would like to be one of our citizen journalists we will try and
work with you to conduct interviews and provide recording equipment,
advice and support to get your voices onto the radio and broadcast around
the world.

To find out more please visit the website
http://www.bbcworldservice.com/yourstory and also have a look at the
photos in this Your Story flickr collection to look at what other people
have already done for us.

Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor
Date: Sun Mar 15, 2009 2:35 pm ((PDT))

Pakistan's airwaves: On militant turf, Radio Khyber offers a ...
"Until Radio Khyber started news reporting, the FM mullahs were winning the
dial wars," says Aurangzaib Khan, the manager of Media Development at
Internews Pakistan in Peshawar, an international nonprofit that trains
radio journalists ...
<http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0313/p01s01-wosc.html>

[excerpt]

Peshawar, Pakistan - Kishwar yanks at her veil, caught in the sound
equipment of a cramped radio production studio, and pins it back. "It's
hard to be the voice of anything with all this cloth on my face," she
jokes, alluding to her station's tag line, "The Voice of Khyber."

Kishwar, who, like others in this story, asked to have her last name
withheld for security, is one of 15 reporters for Radio Khyber, a rare
nonextremist station broadcasting in the town of Jamrud, in the militant
stronghold of Pakistan's northwestern tribal areas. Airwaves in this
region are filled with the illegal broadcasts of "FM mullahs" preaching
about "holy war" and recruiting fighters.

Radio Khyber, launched in 2006 with government support, provides an
alternative to the hard-line clerics with its medley of local news, talk
shows, and music. But it treads carefully, trying to avoid backlash from
either the militants – who criticize the playing of music – or the
Pakistani government, which dislikes its news coverage in this sensitive
region.

PARTENARIAT ENRS-RADIOS INTERCOMMUNAUTAIRES DE FRANCE
5 accords d'échange de programmes signés
15 Mars 2009 - Page : 6
Lu 62 fois

http://www.lexpressiondz.com/article/2/2009-03-15/61606.html

L'Entreprise nationale de radio sonore (Enrs) a signé cinq accords avec des
radios intercommunautaires de Lyon et de Paris pour un échange de programmes
dans le but de diversifier et d'enrichir les contenus de leurs grilles. Ces
accords ont été signés, jeudi dernier à Lyon, avec la radio communautaire
Salam et la radio intercommunautaire Trait d'union.
La même procédure a été menée, ces vendredi et samedi à Paris, avec Radio
France Maghreb, Beur FM et Radio Soleil. «*Ces accords permettent de
diversifier l'offre de nos Radios respectives et de renforcer le lien de la
communauté nationale vivant en France avec le pays natal*», a expliqué à
l'APS le directeur général de l'Enrs, M.Tewfik Khelladi.
«*Ces échanges débuteront très prochainement. L'Enrs mettra à la disposition
de nos partenaires des contenus très diversifiés touchant la culture,
l'éducation, la religion, l'histoire, la découverte et la connaissance des
villes algériennes ainsi que des programmes distractifs*», a encore précisé
M.Khelladi, ajoutant que «*des interconnexions et des duplex seront
effectués lors des fêtes religieuses et autres grands événements pour
permettre aux auditeurs de la communauté algérienne d'être en contact avec
leurs familles par le biais de la radio*».
Grâce à ces Radios-partenaires, dont certaines couvrent presque la totalité
du territoire français, totalisant près d'un million et demi d'auditeurs,
l'Enrs sera présente dans les programmes de ces médias par le biais des
contenus qu'elle mettra à leur disposition.
Le DG de l'Enrs avait signé, vendredi, un accord-cadre avec l'Institut
français de l'audiovisuel (INA) sur la formation des personnels chargés de
la numérisation, l'un des vastes chantiers que lance la Radio nationale.
Un lot de copies de documents sonores totalisant 200 heures de programmes a
été remis au DG de l'Enrs à cette occasion.

<
http://www.lemonde.fr/livres/article/2009/03/12/le-nouvel-elan-des-langues-indiennes_1166900_3260.html
>

Si vous mangez des *ahuacatl* (avocats) ou des *tomatl* (tomates) en
grignotant des *cacahuatl* (cacahuètes), le tout arrosé d'une tasse de *
xocolatl* (chocolat), vous pratiquez le nahuatl sans le savoir ! Le nahuatl
("parole claire, harmonieuse") reste bien vivant dans la partie orientale du
Mexique. Avec 1,5 million de locuteurs, il s'agit de la langue indigène la
plus répandue dans le pays, notamment à Mexico : c'était aussi celle des
Aztèques, et son enseignement vient d'être mis à l'honneur dans certaines
écoles par la municipalité de gauche de la capitale.

Mais c'est loin d'être la seule. Maya, zapotèque, mixtèque, otomi, tzotzil,
tzeltal, purépécha, raramuri - au total, 68 langues indiennes sont encore
parlées au Mexique par quelque 4 millions de personnes, au moins au sein de
la famille et au cours de rituels religieux. Les programmes des centaines de
radios communautaires s'avèrent aussi très importants pour maintenir cette
vitalité linguistique, dans des régions d'accès souvent difficile.* "Une
jeune génération d'écrivains écrit aujourd'hui en mazatèque*, explique Juan
Gregorio <http://www.lemonde.fr/sujet/dd8b/juan-gregorio.html> Regino
http://www.lemonde.fr/sujet/dd8b/juan-gregorio.html , un poète mazatèque qui
traduit lui-même ses textes en espagnol. *La résurgence de ces langues -
dont beaucoup restent néanmoins menacées de disparition - est l'un des
phénomènes culturels les plus marquants de ces dernières années."*

Dear Colleagues

UNESCO releases Digital archiving of audio content using WINISIS and
Greenstone software: a manual for community radio managers

UNESCO Office in New Delhi has published Digital archiving of audio
content using WINISIS and Greenstone software: a manual for community
radio managers. This self-instructional handbook is aimed at helping
managers of community and FM radio stations, public service broadcasting
agencies and any other organizations that deal with audio files create
prototype archives of digital audio documents.

Free and open source software (FOSS) helps digital inclusion of citizens
in developing countries through easy-to-get and socially useful
applications. UNESCO's information processing tools assist many grassroots
institutions in disseminating information to local communities. Digital
archive of a community radio station can be a knowledge repository
containing collective wisdom of indigenous people, as well as of regional
communities and institutions.

The South Asian sub-region is now at the nascent stage of community radio
development, with the introduction of policy frameworks in India, Nepal
and other countries. Community radio has a great development potential
across the sub-region with ever increasing number of community radio
stations. To maintain an archive of broadcasted contents is a legal
obligation as a self-regulatory mechanism, however many stations are not
equipped for doing this.. Moreover, community radio stations often need to
re-use and re-broadcast many of their archived contents.

This new publication is a reliable manual for digital archiving of
multimedia contents, with special focus on community radio contents. Its
users will find it helpful in their every-day work. The publication has
its genesis in the recommendations and proceedings of two events,
supported by UNESCO: National Consultation on Community Radio for
Practising and Potential Community Radio Operators in India and National
Consultation to Review Community Radio in Nepal, during which community
radio station managers stressed the importance of archiving digital audio
contents.

In line with the needs of the community, the manual guides users in
creating their own archives with stable, free software like WINISIS,
GenISIS and Greenstone. The book also provides the URL addresses from
where this software can be downloaded.

11. Nepal: Handbook for exiled journalists published

Handbook for exiled journalists published

A new handbook for training journalists in remote and disadvantaged parts
of South Asia is currently being printed in Nepal. It is the brainchild of
T.P. Mishra, founding president of the Bhutan Chapter of the
Bangladesh-based Third World Media Network.

The book was originally aimed at the Bhutanese refugee journalists who
work, unpaid, in the refugee camps in Nepal, but those behind it want it
made available to all journalists working in exile.

Media Helping Media has contributed a chapter on journalism and activism
for the book. In the following question and answer session, we asked T.P.
Mishra to explain his thinking behind the publication.

http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content/view/354/1/

Q: How do people living overseas pay for and get hold of a copy?

The book will be kept online, although those browsing the online version
will be able to accessed all the full content. They will have a choice to
either buy the electronic copy or they can buy the hardcopy through Pay
Pal . Once again I request the audience to buy the copy since the fund we
collect would be best-used to promote the public's right to information.

Footnote: T.P Mishra comes from a remote district of Bhutan. He fled the
country for Nepal with his family when he was six years old. He is a
graduate in journalism and mass communication, and has been a refugee
camp-based correspondent for The Bhutan Reporter (TBR) monthly. He is now
chief editor and publisher of TBR, working unpaid. He is also the founding
president of the Bhutan Chapter of the Bangladesh-based Third World Media
Network since 2006.

Training resources

http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content/section/6/234/<http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content/section/6/234/>

[image: Training in Kotor, Montenegro]This training section was set up by David
Brewer <http://www.linkedin.com/in/mediaideas> of Media Ideas International
Ltd <http://www.mediaideas.co.uk/> in order to offer ongoing help to media
development clients in transition states, post-conflict countries, and areas
where freedom of expression is under threat.

David had undertaken a number of contracts for media development
organisations but realised that, in some cases, there were no plans to
support the media organisations involved after the projects ended.

He set about writing a number of training modules so that the media
organisations that couldn't afford to pay for further help could still build
their own capacity to survive.

Over time, others joined in and offered existing training modules, or to
write new ones. These have been added to the mix.

More are being added all the time. If you have a training module you would
like to make available, please use the contact us
form<http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/component/option,com_contact/Itemid,112/>and
let us know.

Also, because many are written on planes, in departure lounges and in
hotels, they may contain typos. The only condition for using these modules
is that if you spot any typos and errors you let us know, and that you
credit Media Helping Media (or the author if it is a module written by a
guest) with a mention and a link.

Sénégal - suspension de deux mois : Oxy-jeunes et Afia FM font les frais
de la campagne

[excerpt]

Deux radios communautaires font les frais de la campagne électorale. Elles
ont été sommées d'arrêter d'émettre pour avoir organisé des émissions
politiques. Le Conseil National de Régulation de l'Audiovisuel (CNRA) a
suspendu les radios Oxy-jeune et Afia FM.

Les radios communautaires Oxy-jeunes FM et Afia Fm sont aphones pour deux
mois. Elles ont été suspendues par le Conseil National de Régulation de
l'Audiovisuel (CNRA) qui a scellé leur émetteur ce samedi 14 mars 2009.
L'organe sénégalais de régulation des médias leur reproche le traitement
de l'information politique alors que leur cahier de charge ne le leur
permet pas. A une semaine de la fin de la campagne électorale, le Conseil
National de Régulation de l'Audiovisuelle (CNRA) sévit. Il a suspendu la
fréquence de deux radios communautaires dont Oxy-jeunes (Pikine) et Afia
Fm (Grand yoff). L'arrêt des programmes de ces stations FM fait suite à
une mise en demeure.
