On the Spokane Indian Reservation, young people have to sit in their cars
to hear the fading signal from a low-power community radio station 50
miles away.
They are listening to a show from 3 to 4 p.m. every Tuesday on Thin Air
Community Radio, KYRS-FM, 92.3 and 89.9. The program offers 60 minutes of
news, interviews and music that matter to Native Americans.
"It is filling a gap that hasn't been filled before," said Twa-le
Abrahamson, a Spokane tribal member who produces the show, "InnerTribal
Beat."
Abrahamson said word is getting out about the program, and once people
learn about it, they are "very excited to be included."
The show relies on this excitement, because listeners who call in provide
much of the content, including news about American Indians who live in
Spokane as well as the area's reservations.
This is important, Abrahamson said, because tribal newspapers, which are
run by tribal governments, "are too political." She envisions a day when
reservation residents will be able to rely on expanded Native programming
at KYRS as an independent news source.
It is a vision shared by KYRS program manager Lupito Flores, who has
applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a full-power license.
Because KYRS is a low-power station, its signal often cannot be heard on
the reservations.
After the nonprofit KYRS, which provides a variety of programming in the
public interest, goes from 100 watts to 6,000 watts, the station will be
heard on the Spokane and Colville reservations.
"Our mission is to provide programs to unserved and underserved
populations," Flores said, not duplicate things you can already hear on
radio. "We are surrounded by tribes, so it makes sense to produce a local
Native American show."
"InnerTribal Beat" is the second attempt by KYRS to provide Native
programming, having broadcast a show two years ago with host Jim Boyd, a
Colville tribal member and nationally known recording artist.
The new show has two hosts. Gabe Bylilly, an Eastern Washington University
graduate student, provides the music and music commentary. Jeff Ferguson
reads the news and public announcements, including job listings. The two
also were involved in founding a Native American music festival, called
InnerTribal Vibes, which last May brought regional Native talent to
Spokane Falls Community College.
Bylilly and Ferguson said the program fills a need among young people
wanting to hear Native bands, particularly those specializing in hip-hop
and rap that are rarely heard anywhere else.
Even with a more powerful broadcast, Flores said, KYRS is unlikely to
reach very far into the Coeur d'Alene Reservation and therefore will not
compete with the tribe's plans to broadcast over the newly licensed
KWIS-FM, which has yet to air.
No other regional tribe has a radio station. The only other Native
programming available in the Spokane area is "Native America Calling," a
national program produced in Anchorage, Alaska, that airs on Spokane
Public Radio, KSFC 91.9, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday.

6. KILLED IN SOMALIA: Hassan Mayow Hassan, Radio Shabelle
Posted by: "George Lessard" media@web.net themediamentor

SOMALIA: 1
Hassan Mayow Hassan, Radio Shabelle
January 1, 2009, Afgoye
http://cpj.org/deadly/2009.php
Hassan, 36, a Radio Shabelle correspondent since 2006 in the town of
Afgoye, 19 miles (30 kilometers) south of the capital, Mogadishu, was shot
dead by a government soldier when he entered the town at around 10 a.m.,
local journalists told CPJ. Hassan was stopped by government soldiers who
accused him of collaborating with Islamic insurgent groups before one of
the soldiers shot him twice in the head, the journalists said eyewitnesses
told them.
According to a Radio Shabelle editor, Abdi Nasir, Hassan was en route to a
news conference when he was killed. Hassan produced many reports on the
humanitarian situation in the region, including critical stories about the
army's harassment of civilians in the area, the journalists said.
"If there is any evidence of wrongdoing by a government soldier or
officer, we will investigate," Minister of Information Ahmed Abdisalam
told CPJ.
Hassan is survived by a wife and five children.
