Community Media: A Good Practice Handbook Compiled and edited by Steve
Buckley
Published by UNESCO and available free online at:
http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0021/002150/215097E.pdf
Among its activities to mark World Radio Day 2012, UNESCO has launched a new
good practice handbook with case studies of community media from around the
world. The publication draws on a diversity of experiences to provide
inspiration and support for those engaged in community media practice and
advocacy and to raise awareness and understanding of community media among
policy makers and other stakeholders.
13 February has been proclaimed by UNESCO as a date to celebrate radio
broadcast, improve international cooperation among radio broadcasters and
encourage decision-makers to create and provide access to information
through radio. Community Media: A Good Practice Handbook is a compilation of
30 community radio and other community media examples demonstrating
successful approaches to strengthening public voice.
"The value of this publication lies in the fact that it highlights problems
while at the same time offering possible solutions. It presents a useful
empirical basis for replicating time-tested decisions about how community
media can become an even more effective element of a free, independent and
pluralistic media system of any democratic society. This book will be a
useful reference to community media practitioners, policy-makers,
researchers, community organizers, and other media development
stakeholders."
From the Foreword by Wijayananda Jayaweera, former Director, Communication
Development Division/IPDC, UNESCO, Paris
