[creative-radio] Girls making media in Ghana

 

Girls making media in Ghana

[excerpt]

Sometimes among all the ICT4D hype, we forget about one of the biggest and
oldest ICTs there is: radio. There are all kinds of jobs that the youth can
do at the radio station, including news, marketing, voice, or running the
cafe. Having job skills such as these can begin to give the youth some
experiences that will serve them later in life.

The GMM program began last year with a workshop for 20 of the students on
media skills and gender. Following that the Club received a small media kit
consisting of digital cameras, voice recorders, a radio, a notice board and
Flip cameras. The girls work with 2 advisers and now several boys have also
joined the Club. They conducted a bullying campaign with the goal of
reducing the incidence of bullying by 30%. After the campaign, which
included posters, educational sessions and other outreach, the Senior
Housemaster claimed that bullying had been reduced by 90% compared to the
year before.

Hi all,

We have less than two weeks left before FCC comments on low power radio are
due August 29. The FCC's plan to save channels for community radio is a good
start, but we can do better.

Prometheus will be filing technical comments to improve the FCC's plan, but
*we need your help* in turning out support for strong FCC rules that save
channels for community radio in every city.

You can use the Twitter/Facebook text below to share the email action with
your networks:

*Twitter *
plz RT: Take quick action to support & strengthen FCC plan to save channels
for community radio http://bit.ly/L**CRadio <http://bit.ly/LCRadio> #LPFM
#mediajustice

*Facebook*
Want community radio in your city? The FCC is asking for public comment on a
plan to save channels for low power community radio in urban areas. Take
action at http://bit.ly/L**CRadio <http://bit.ly/LCRadio> then repost!

Thanks,
Brandy

P.S. To learn more about the FCC's proposed rules, you can can read
here<http://www.prometheusradio.org/take_action>or watch our short
video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSkCooZqMb0>. So many have worked so
hard to pass the Local Community Radio Act; let's keep it up and get
channels in all our cities!
