JOURNALISTS CALL FOR FIJI TRAVEL BAN

SYDNEY (ATN Online/Pacific Media Watch): Calls by a journalists'
organisation to encourage travellers to boycott Fiji – which last week was
turfed out of the Commonwealth – have not met with universal support.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) wants travellers to
rethink any plans to holiday in Fiji as a protest against the regime of
Commodore Frank Bainimarama and the government's media censorship record.

The IFJ's Sydney-based spokeswoman, Deborah Muir, told Radio Australia that
anyone thinking of holidaying in Fiji should reconsider.

"Fiji is no paradise right now. Any advertising campaign that says it is a
paradise is false advertising," she said.

But Australia's Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said he would not be advising
Australians to boycott holidaying in Fiji because it would only hurt
ordinary Fijians.

"We've never wanted to do things that hurt the people of Fiji and the great
regret in all of this is that Fiji should be a premier country in the
Pacific, it should be a premier economy," the minister said.

Frank Yourn, executive director of the Australia-Fiji Business Council, said
the innocent would suffer from a travel boycott, not the interim government.

"It's not a matter of propping up the dictatorship; it's really a matter of
trying to ensure the economic survival of people who are really suffering
quite badly," he said.

Tourism Fiji regional office in Australia turned down TravelMole's request
for a comment but the Fiji Times quoted Tourism Fiji chairman Patrick Wong,
who said the issue "is political and unlikely to have an impact on the
industry".

He said Fiji has always been a safe holiday destination, and restrictions,
unrest or military action have not affected visitors to the country.

However, the latest arrival figures show Australians and New Zealanders are
staying away from Fiji in droves.

Visitor arrivals to Fiji are down 30 percent compared to this time last year
and occupancy rates sit below 50 percent.

[creative-radio] PARD Vaanoli Community Radio - An Introduction

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Jaisakthivel <ardicdxclub@yahoo.co.in>
Date: 2009/9/9
Subject: [cr-india] PARD Vaanoli Community Radio - An Introduction
To: dx india <dx_india@yahoogroups.com>

People's Action for Rural Development (PARD) is a civil society institution
set up in Madurai as early as 1988. Initially, PARD started working with
urban slum dwellings in the city of Madurai, but soon expanded its
activities to become the main coordinator of LISA Network (Low Inputs for
Sustainable Agriculture), and also moved to rural areas of Tamil Nadu, in
order to implement micro-finance actvities with rural women.

About two years back, soon after the Central Government released the
community radio guidelines, PARD applied for a license. However, the Letter
of Intent was not provided to PARD. Moreover, no reason was provided for
rejection of the application. PARD applied to the High Court, and this is
perhaps the first instance where the government has been taken to court
specifically on community radio. It would hearten supporters of the movement
to know that since the government had not given any reason, nor could they
justify why they had rejected the application, the government just as
suddenly passed the application.

A couple of months ago, PARD finally got its Wireless Operating License,
with considerable patience and courage shown by director, Mr. James
Rajasekharan, and with equally considerable help from Commonwealth
Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA). Without any fund or any other
kind of support, PARD mobilised internal support to set up a basic low cost
radio station. Finally after receipt of WOL, UNESCO agreed to pitch in with
some support through the International Program for Development of
Communication (IPDC), a major forum of the UN, with member states pitching
in with support. This support includes four capacity building programs, some
nominal support for equipment and one transmitter and antenna from NOMAD
India Network.

Set about 30 kilometers from Madurai, PARD Vaanoli has a full time team of 7
people, with 2 announcers, 2 field reporters and 3 reporters/editors.
Further, PARD has also mobilised about 6 volunteers from Madurai who are
basically slum development workers, but are expected to pitch in with the
radio as well.

PARD Vaanoli has already started producing programs with their production
set up, and in July, NOMAD India has successfully installed a transmitter
and antenna. This means that PARD Vaanoli is all set to go.

While PARD's courage and tenacity in starting their community radio station
in the face of obstacles from the government and sans support from donor
agencies, other civil society networks etc, the fact remains that PARD
Vaanoli is a station in its infancy and still requires a lot of support in
terms of capacity building; secondary equipment; seed funding, programmatic
support, and so on.

It is with a sense of keen anticipation that one will watch the progress of
this tough station, and how it will slowly but surely make a remarkable
difference to the community in and around Thirumangalam, Madurai. We wish
them all the very best, and hope to continue our association with them in
the future as well.

[creative-radio] Science puts malaria fight on the map

Science puts malaria fight on the map

Ottawa researchers are using satellite images to track the Africans at
greatest risk of disease

http://www.thestar.com/article/694978

[excerpt]

A satellite picture taken from 700 kilometres above the Earth shows
agricultural and irrigated land in Tanzania. Researchers Jeremy Kerr and
Manisha Kulkarni used the map to track the local mosquito population, and
accurately predicted where it would be most dense. Their research allowed
them to target the village of Kiruani, seen as an oblong orange strip in
this image, just below the large orange ring surrounding Mount
Kilimanjaro.
