"...The Press Union of Liberia (PUL), which is the biggest journalist
umbrella organization in
Liberia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Liberia>,
recently voted Radio Gbarnga the best community radio station in the country
for 2008/2009.
During the award presentation, PUL said Radio Gbarnga merited the honor
because the institution has over the years proven to be guided by high
ethical standards in the dissemination of news and information to the rural
population despite enormous challenges.
The PUL stressed that the selection process was carefully carried out,
employing the expertise of experienced individuals from diverse backgrounds
in order to achieve its objectives to reach and represent the whole
audience.
Radio Gbarnga was selected from a pool of 54 community radio stations
currently operating nationwide in Liberia. ..."
"...In 2007 the training unit of Radio Gbarnga assisted in the establishment
of three smaller community radio stations in central Liberia through the
provision of training for one week each that covered all aspects of
community radio management.
The dream of this station is to reform its training unit to a regional
training center in north central Liberia to provide more training
opportunities for rural journalists in Liberia.
Note: Radio Gbarnga is seeking training help and guidance so that it can
build the capacity of its training centre and take that training nationwide.

Panel to resolve telecom rows

Thailand and Laos have formed a working panel aimed at managing wireless
telecommunication connections along their common border and at academic
co-operation.
The panel also aimed to resolve problems of interference in cellular
communications and radio broadcasts by community radio in border areas,
said Tassaporn Kate-atisorn, the vice-secretary of the National
Telecommunications Commission.
[...]
The working group would first meet at the government agency level, then
other co-operation would follow, he said.
He admitted that it was impossible to block radio signals crossing the
border because there were many radio stations.
Gen Choochart Promprasit, the NTC chairman, said frequency usage in border
areas posed problems because of signal strength. Meetings could lessen the
problem and allow radio stations to work with each other, he said.
