SAMOAN RADIO SURVIVES TSUNAMI - BRAVE BROADCASTERS DEFY DANGER
www.radioheritage.net

PAGO PAGO (Radio Australia/Pacific Media Watch): The recent earthquake and
devastating tsunami affecting Samoa, American Samoa and northern Tonga has
brought forward several shining examples of radio broadcasting dedication in
the face of extreme danger, says the Radio Heritage Foundation.

In Pago Pago, American Samoa, the morning DJ at KKHJ-FM felt the earthquake
and activated emergency warnings immediately. Lupe Lohmann then broadcast
calls for residents to head for higher ground and by
the time she realised that a tsunami was heading up Pago Pago harbor towards
the studios, it was too late for her to leave.

She stayed on the air as surging waters smashed into the ground floor of the
Pago Pago Plaza, home of KKHJ-FM. You can hear her interview with the BBC
describing the events at www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8281616.stm and
look at photos of the devastation caused by the tsunami at the KKHJ-FM
website [www.khjradio.com ] where you can also listen to KKHJ-FM streaming
live
and see more images of the temporary studios being used at the
transmitter site.

Pago Pago FM Towers
For images of the KKHJ-FM tower high above Pago Pago visit
www.radioheritage.net and click on the article 'Pago Pago Tower Tour'. Other
features about American Samoan radio can be found at the same website -
'WVUV Radio Romance' and 'This is WVUV'.

According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are five FM
stations on the air in American Samoa [population 61,400] and in addition to
KKHJ-FM, live streaming is currently available from
KSBS [www.ksbsfm92.com] and KNWJ-FM [www.fm104.org].

2AP 540 AM stays on the air
Across in independent Samoa, another DJ also stayed on duty as the
earthquake struck the islands. Radio 2AP broadcasts at 540AM from sea level
near the capital, Apia, and Epati Tamati felt the earthquake and also
realized a tsunami was likely. He also chose to stay on the air, accepting
hundreds of calls from worried and frightened listeners and broadcasting
emergency messages.

You can see a photo of Epati inside the 2AP studios and read his story in
the article 'Radio Man Risks Life for Listeners' in the October 7 edition of
The New Zealand Herald newspaper online at
www.nzherald.co.nz.

Radio Polynesia moves to the hills
Olga Keil of Radio Polynesia in Apia is also reported on the BBC
Asia-Pacific website with her comments about the earthquake. You can find
this story at www.newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8282115.stm
and find out more about the four stations of Radio Polynesia at
www.fmradio.ws.

Since the earthquake, the staff have been broadcasting from makeshift
studios in the hills behind Apia, close to their transmitter complex.

According to the World Radio TV Handbook [www.wrth.com] there are one AM and
eight FM stations on the air in Samoa [population 178,000] but none of the
local stations currently stream services online.

The Radio Heritage Foundation recommends reading the following features
about radio in Samoa at its website www.radioheritage.net: 'Radio in Samoa',
'Samoan Radio Sale', 'ZMAP Apia Samoa' and 'Samoan
Radio Journey' for more information about 2AP, Radio Polynesia and
other stations.

RNZI Pacific Coverage
We also recommend staying tuned to Radio New Zealand International [
www.rnzi.com] for breaking Pacific news and live reports from reporters in
Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga as tsunami
reconstruction continues.

LIGHTING UP WOMEN'S SMILE
http://fijidailypost.com/news.php?section=1&fijidailynews=24989

By Alisi Tuinakelo

SUVA (Fiji Daily Post/Pacific Media Watch): Fiji-based women's non-profit
community media organisation femLINK PACIFIC teamed up with Connect Internet
Services and launched a "Light Up A Woman's Life" campaign for Diwali on
Monday.

Chief executive officer of Connect Internet Services Sharon Smith Johns
handed over a cheque of $1000 to rural correspondents and activity centres
of femLINK-based in Nausori, Nadi, Ba, Labasa and Savusavu.

The funds will be used to establish 20 savings bank accounts for single
mothers identified from the evidence collected through femLINK rural women's
media network and mobil community radio broadcast.

CIS's marketing manager Dwain Qalovaki said when he read the proposal he was
inspired when he saw that it was mainly for single mothers because he is an
offspring of a single mum.

"I looked at the proposal and said, 'Why not? This is for a good cause'," he
said.

Johns added Diwali was a "Festival of Lights" and Connect has always
participated in community initiatives - this was such a great cause
especially at this time of the year.

"It is humbling to be given an opportunity to empower single mothers.
Connect is fully committed to this programme and will continue to do so in
near furtue," she added.

Johns also hopes that the campaign will encourage other corporate bodies to
NGOs in assisting for more single mums around the country.

FemLINK's coordinator Sharon Bhagwan Rolls said the campaign emerged from
findings included in femLINK's series of Women, Peace and Human Security
reports which the organisation published this year.

The planned activity added to the existing women's finance and empowerment
campaigns and work of women's NGOs across Fiji.

The women's NGO has become aware of the fact that it is not enough to simply
highlight women's economic insecurities but also the need to invest in a
woman - investing in gender budget for example.

The organisation is also aware that the Department of Social Welfare
provides assistance to many of these mothers and they do not have bank
accounts, so this will assist them in setting up and maintaining a savings
scheme in the most practical way.

An anonymous donor made a donation of $50 on that day so 21 mothers will be
receiving new accounts.

Additionally, said Rolls, evidence from the WPHS reports also linked closely
to University of the South Pacific professor Wardan Narsey's 2007
publication, "Gender Issues in Employment, Under Employment and Incomes in
Fiji", in which he wrote: "Gender equality cannot become reality unless
ordinary women are able to empower themselves."

FemLINK exists to empower women and communities in decision-making for
equality, development and peace.

[creative-radio] UNESCO-supported Nepali NGO launches a set of indicators on community media

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Puna Das <puna_05@yahoo.co.in>
Date: 2009/9/21
Subject: [cr-india] UNESCO-supported Nepali NGO launches a set of indicators
on community media
To: cr-india@sarai.net

UNESCO-supported Nepali NGO launches a set of indicators on community media
16-09-2009 (Kathmandu)

The Nepali Community Radio Support Centre (CRSC) has recently launched a new
manual entitled Community Radio Performance Assessment System. This most
comprehensive set of indicators concerning community media is the result of
a decade-long work of CRSC in promoting, enabling and facilitating the
community radio movement in Nepal.

"The one who speaks can market even the flour successfully while the one who
cannot do so cannot even market the rice," says a Nepali proverb. This
highlights the importance of effective communication. Radio happens to be
the most effective way of communication in the country, where the majority
of population lives in villages and the half of it cannot read and write.
The Nepal experience of community radio is fascinating, inspiring and full
of lessons to be learned. But the huge proliferation of community radios
there urgently requires well-considered benchmarks and criteria. The new
CRSC manual is a major contribution to the development of community media
not just in Nepal but more widely in South Asia and internationally.

*Community Radio Performance Assessment System* draws effectively from both
the grassroots experience of community media and from international
broadcast practices. It considers the issues that are the real basis for the
success of community media: public accountability, community representation,
locally relevant programming, diverse funding and acknowledgement of staff,
including volunteers.

The manual contains a great amount of knowledge concerning community radio,
its practices and potential. It covers in details many key success factors,
such as participation and ownership, content, management, volunteerism and
networking; it can be applied across a wide range of contexts, from policy
issues to the assessment of a local station.

"We thank the community radio pioneers in Nepal for coming up with this set
of indicators that should contribute to the improvement of the community
radio sector in the country and provide insights to prospective community
radio operators elsewhere," – says W. Jayaweera, Director of UNESCO's
Communication Development Division in his foreword to the publication.

CRSC is a ground-breaking initiative that was established by the Nepal Forum
of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) in 2000. Working in close cooperation
with UNESCO since its inception, CRSC has actively promoted community radios
across Nepal and provided concrete and practical support to many of them:
almost all community broadcasters in the country benefited from CRSC
assistance to get broadcasting licences, to set up the station or to develop
capacity and networks. It has issued a number of publications, such as
Guidelines for Setting up Community Radio Station, Program Production
Manuals, Strategic Planning Manuals, etc.

*Community Radio Performance Assessment System is available online, on the
CRSC website, in PDF* http://www.nefej.org/pdf/crpa_book.pdf.
