[creative-radio] First community radio on air: Lokobetar's test run starts in Barguna Bangladesh

First community radio on air Lokobetar's test run starts in Barguna
Bangladesh
http://ow.ly/57iAD

The first community radio station in Bangladesh, named Lokobetar, has
begun test transmissions in the district town of Barguna to build public
opinion on development issues like democracy, good governance, human
rights, anti-corruption, health and women empowerment. Mass-Line Media
Centre (MMC), a development organisation, with financial and technical
support from Unesco, set up the radio station, which has been on trial
since 27 May and is expected to go for full-fledged transmission by
mid-June. The station will cover a radius of about 17 kilometres around
Barguna town on FM 99.2 MHz.

[creative-radio] INDIA: Film tells the story of three women who are in community radio

INDIA:

Narsamma, Parul Ben and Triveni live in different villages of India --
they could be living the life of an average rural woman had it not been
for a tiny device called the radio.

Film tells the story of these women who are in the middle of a community
radio revolution and it is through their eyes that we see this phenomenon
unfolding. Travelling across Kutch in Gujarat, Budikote in Karnataka and
Pastapur in Andhra Pradesh , the film showcases the exemplary work that
these radio stations do to bring about awareness and social change.

[creative-radio] Breaking Borders Radio Documentaries - stories of migrants in Johannesburg

"Breaking Borders" - stories of migrants living in Johannesburg

On Africa Day 25 May, a new 5-part series of radio documentaries chronicling
the lives, challenges, dreams, and positive contributions of migrants living
in South Africa, is hitting the airwaves. In "Breaking Borders," five
migrants tell their stories of where they came from, what life is like for
them in their new home, and what their goals are for the future.

Produced by CMFD (Community Media for Development) Productions for FAHAMU
Networks for Social Justice, with support from the Open Society Foundation
(OSF), the Breaking Borders project brought together South African community
radio journalists and both internal and external migrants to collaboratively
produce the documentaries. By working together, migrants had an opportunity
to access media and tell their stories, while building capacity of radio
journalists to report on migration issues with a human face.

Southern Africa has a long history of mobile populations. Economic and
political instability in neighbouring countries means that South Africa is
at the focal point of this movement. Many come from countries like Zimbabwe,
Mozambique, Zambia, etc, looking for a better life, yet often find
difficulties and hardships. Migration is an important part of South Africa's
social fabric. Yet we rarely hear the stories of how it is for a Zimbabwean
to leave their home, or what it is like to be a refugee from Congo,
qualified to be a teacher or nurse, and unable to find any kind of work in
their new home country. This project aimed to address this gap in media
access.

The touching stories share insights into what it is like to leave home -
from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Congo, Burundi, and even from within the country -
and journey far away to the bright lights and big city of Johannesburg, a
place full of both challenges and opportunities. What is clear from each
story is that life is not easy for migrants living in Johannesburg, yet the
contributions to the social, economic and cultural fabric of the country as
varied as they are.

The documentaries are being distributed free of charge to radio stations.

[creative-radio] INDIA: "Now, community radio service on your mobiles!"

---------------------------- Original Message ----------------------------
Subject: [cr-india] "Now, community radio service on your mobiles!"
From: "sajan venniyoor" <venniyoor@gmail.com>
Date: Mon, May 23, 2011 2:30 pm
To: "CR India" <cr-india@sarai.net>
----------------------------------------------------------

*Now, community radio service on your mobiles!*
Source: Niyati Rana, DNA, 23.5.11

Ahmedabad: How does the idea of operating a community radio station with
mobile phones sound? Listening to informative programmes, 'airing'
advertisements and filtering content generated by community members — all
this could be done using simple cellphones!

The unconventional method of operating a community radio station using a new
application, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), is proposed by Prof Kavitha
Ranganathan and Prof Ankur Sarin, faculty members at Indian Institute of
Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA).

MANETS are conventionally used in areas like disaster recovery or military
operations. In a working paper titled "A Voice for the Voiceless:
Peer-to-peer Mobile Phone Networks for a Community Radio Service",
Ranganathan and Sarin propose a decentralised community station in which
users will be required to buy a basic low-end mobile phone preloaded with
the MANET software.

The software is used for groups of mobile devices without any centralised
administration or control which form an ad hoc network among themselves. The
paper states that if there are enough such users, the phone will
automatically form an exclusive network among them enabling users to talk to
one another and exchange other forms of data.

The system the paper proposes is built around the idea of community
participation which is the essence of community media. The paper argues that
it found two schemes particularly promising for the application:
Dynamic-Prob and SBA-Adaptive.

"We envision a true peer service where any participant of the peer-topeer
network can be a source of audio content. This entails each phone in the
network to broadcast reliable and efficient voice-based data packets to
every other node in the network," states the paper.

The idea of the MANET based community radio channel is to be completely
decentralised. Every community member is equally equipped to air their
content on the radio service, without a central authority choosing or
filtering the content.

To decide which user will be allowed to broadcast at what time, the paper
proposes a weekly in-person meeting of the community members where all users
interested in an airslot can participate.

"A weekly schedule can be drawn up in a democratic fashion, a simple table
of node identities (phone numbers), start times and end times. This table
can then be confidentially broadcast to all nodes and stored in each peer
phone's memory. When a user tries to broadcast content, it is only forwarded
to other nodes if the schedule permits it," states the paper.

To filter content during broadcast, the paper suggests use of a
decentralised reputation based scheme where users can keep track of past
performance of their peers and regulate participation depending on their
reputation.

[creative-radio] The Role of Facebook in Disaster Response

The Role of Facebook in Disaster Response
http://irevolution.net/2011/05/22/facebook-and-disaster-response/

[excerpt]

I've been thinking about this topic with a number of other colleagues for
a while. I'm also very interested to hear any ideas and suggestions that
iRevolution readers may have on this.

There's no doubt that Facebook can—and already does—play an important role
in disaster response. In Haiti, my colleague Rob Munro used Facebook to
recruit hundreds of Creole speaking volunteers to translate tens of
thousands of text messages into English as part of Mission 4636. When an
earthquake struck New Zealand earlier this year, thousands of students
organized their response via a Facebook group and also used the platform's
check-in's feature to alert others in their social network that they were
alright.

[creative-radio] Germany: District Sömmerda is quicker than The VOICE – Refugees Isolatio n Camp in Gangloffsömmern will be closed

District Sömmerda is quicker than The VOICE – Refugees Isolation Camp in
Gangloffsömmern will be closed

See Fotos and Video links below
http://thevoiceforum.org/node/2120

Isolationslager Gangloffsömmern
Gangloffsömmern Refugees isolation camp ghetto in Thueringen - Germany

While activists of The VOICE already discussed first actions linked with
the Lager Gangloffsömmern as part of the Break Isolation! - campaign, they
received the news that the authorities decided to close the Lager. As
earlier reported here, the contract with the private company
Projektentwicklungs- und Betreuungs GmbH is ending on august 31st, 2011.

VIDEO view of Ganglöffsommern-Flüchtlingsisolation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_1X-qTwqyw

After the broad attention to the campaign against the racist isolation in
Zella-Mehlis, the discussion about the different housing practices of
refugees rose up in society and administrative circles of Thüringen.
During the protest against the Lager Zella-Mehlis, the structural problem
of housing in Lagers and the solidarity with anyone being forced to live
in a Lager has always been pointed out. In this context, it were always
mentioned Zella-Mehlis, Gangloffsömmern, Gerstungen and Breitenworbis.

Gangloffsömmern, a village of about 1000 inhabitants, barely doesn't have
anything more than a pub, a church and a football club. For shopping, the
people have to go to Straußfurt, where anyone without a car is dependent
on the rarely circulating busses. There are officially 40 unmarried men
staying in the Lager. In fact, it's just around 10-20 who are constantly
staying there. All the others make deals with the Lager staff (either 10
Euro in voucher /Gutschein, or „gifts", how it's reported by refugees) and
thereby gain the „freedom" to show up just once in a month for receiving
Gutschein and pocket money. The rest of the month they spend in other
places. But there are quite some among the men, who don't have such
resources or who don't have any friends or contacts outside of the Lager.
Due to that reason, a part of them is forcely reduced to „sleep, eat,
watch TV, sleep" (quoted inhabitant) for years.
The building is quite broken down and inside, there is a constant moldy
smell which stems from spots of rotten walls. A part of the Lager is a
gym, which is used for sports by the inhabitants of the village – the
refugees are not allowed to enter.

Isolationslager Gangloffsömmern

In preparation of coming public actions related to the completely isolated
and rotten Lager of Gangloffsömmern, some activists of The VOICE recently
visited it. On this meeting, the friends from the Lager confirmed the info
of the future closure. But another news was the intimidation attempts by
employees of the Ausländerbehörde: After a refugee had criticised the
conditions in the Lager in Junge Welt, he was confronted with the article
and threatened with juridical consequences. On behalf of the refugee
community, he received broad support.

Now it's necessary to watch the authorities cautiously and to support the
refugees in their uncompromising demand for decentral housing. Especially
those, who are already facing repressive threats. A simple transfer into
the isolated camps of other districts is as inacceptable as the opening of
a new Lager in the disctrict of Sömmerda, which would also have the aim of
isolating the refugees and controlling their life.

Break the Isolation! Decentral housing for all!

[creative-radio] New Publication: Energy for Radio - A Guide to Practitioners

Energy for Radio. A Guide for Practitioners
By Michael Bycroft

CAMECO Practice Series 02

"Energy for Radio" is the unparalleled guide to energy management
for radio stations. In Africa and other parts of the world, radio
practitioners daily face the widespread lack of reliable public energy
supply. "Energy for Radio" supports managers and operators as they
tackle the energy issue at their station, helping to understand the
various sources and technologies of energy, especially gensets, wind and
hydro turbines, solar and hybrid systems.

The guide is structured around five steps towards improving energy
management at a station:
Step 1: Assess energy needs
Step 2: Identify potential energy savings
Step 3: Select appropriate energy system and technology – both for
energy generation and for energy storage and regulation
Step 4: Plan for the long-term management of the system
Step 5: Select and work with energy technology providers to plan and
install technology.

Thus, the guide views all relevant aspects requiring attention before
"informed decisions" can be taken. It also includes case studies
describing the experiences of radio stations in Uganda, Sudan, Tanzania,
Haiti and Indonesia where renewable energy technologies have been
implemented. Worksheets and a list of key resources add to the
usefulness of the publication.

The author: Michael Bycroft is a science journalist based in the UK,
with a special interest in green energy technologies and climate
change.
