[creative-radio] Audacious and awesome new book about Youth Radio
RT @creative_radio: RT @NFCB: Audacious and awesome new book about Youth
Radio, our neighbors here in #Oakland! Recommended read!
http://ow.ly/2woV1
[excerpt, see embedded links at url]
Anyone who wants to launch or sustain a media project that engages young
people and amplifies their voices should read Drop That Knowledge, a new
book about Youth Radio written by Elisabeth Soep and Vivian Chavez. Lissa
Soep is a longtime Youth Radio staff member who has developed the
program's training framework and curricula. Vivian Chavez is a alumna of
Youth News, a forerunner to Youth Radio.
Youth Media International, as it is currently re-branding, is one of the
oldest and most successful youth media programs in the country. It's a
public media treasure. As founder Ellin O'Leary writes in the epilogue,
"Our mandate is to prepare young people to maintain and reinvent
journalism's best principles, so that they can deploy today's new tools
and platforms to speak truth to power, to cultivate credible soures, to
tell the story no one else is telling, and to create art and report on
emerging trends and culture."
At Youth Radio, adolescents, teens and young adults get the basics of
media production and much, much more: media literacy, leadership training,
critical thinking, group process, negotiation, peacemaking. They learn by
listening but mostly by doing. Once they develop their wings, some of
these producers soar, experimenting with nontraditional storytelling
techniques and providing fresh perspectives on issues that hit closest to
home: public education, neighborhood violence, teenage pregnancy, racial,
gender, national and sexual identity.
Drop That Knowledge explains the guiding philosophy of Youth Radio - the
model of "converged literacy" which is defined as "an ability to make and
understand boundary-crossing and convention breaking texts...knowing how
to draw and leverage public interest in the stories you want to
tell...[having the] imaginative resources to claim and exercise your right
to use media to promote justice." At Youth Radio, young people are
respected as the experts of their own experience, who not only find their
voice, but are empowered to use it responsibly, meaningfully, and
effectively.
I'm a longtime admirer of Youth Radio. I worked with some of its reporters
when I produced national news at Pacifica, and I visited the group's
Oakland headquarters for the first time earlier this year. Even so, I must
admit that I learned so much in the 200-plus pages of this book that I
didn't already know.
It's fascinating to read between the lines of some of Youth Radio's most
visible and successful stories that aired on NPR and PRI. How did these
pieces come together; what was the role of the reporter versus the editor;
how did youth and adults collaborate; what kind of dynamic ensued as harsh
truths are shared, or stereotypes are reinforced or debunked in a 4-minute
audio essay that would carry the burden of being The Voice of Youth on a
particular issue.

Stray bullet kills Mr. Barqad Awale Adan director of Xurmo the only
community radio station in Mogadishu
http://ow.ly/2unsP
A veteran Somali journalist who was the director of Xurmo the only
community radio station in Mogadishu Mr. Barqad Awale Adan has on Tuesday
died after a stray bullet has got him on the heart.
Late Barqad was on top of a three story building at KM5 intersection where
he was assessing a fierce battle taking between the Somali government
soldiers gaining military support from the African Union troops in
Mogadishu and the rival Al-Shabab faction which is an Islamist faction
which controls the majority of the southern and the central regions of
Somalia.
The death of Mr.Barqad was verified for allvoices by the deputy director
of Xurmo Mr. Dahir Fidow.
"I assure you the death of my collogue Mr. Barqad Awale Adan, and please I
cannot continue talk after this due to my raising emotions" said Dahir
Late Barqad is among the few former journalists who used to work in radio
Mogadishu a government controlled radio station in the heydays who are in
now in Mogadishu which once used to be the pride of Africa, but now the
humility of Africa.
The entire family of Somali journalists is sending their heartfelt
condolence to the sudden death of late Barqad Awale Adan who was their
colleague, and are saying my God rest his soul in eternal peace amen.
Al-Shabab has on Monday declared battle against the African Union troops
on the ground and the fragile Somali government which controls a few
blocks in the city, and since the that announcement made by the Al-Shabab
spokesman there were clashes in Mogadishu from dawn to dusk beside this
ongoing clashes there was a suicide attack in hotel where there were top
government officials Members of parliament and this suicide attack so far

[creative-radio] Joint appeal by AMARC, PPF for setting up community radio stations in flood-hit Pakistan area
Joint appeal by AMARC, PPF for setting up community radio stations in
flood-hit Pakistan areas
http://ow.ly/2uanK
Kathmandu, Nepal, The World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters
(AMARC) and the Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) appeal to the Government
of Pakistan and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to
allow setting up of emergency community radio stations in areas that have
suffered from the current floods in Pakistan.
We call upon all concerned agencies in Pakistan to be flexible and
responsive to proposals for the establishment of community based
broadcasting mechanisms so that any information gap that exists among the
affected people is fulfilled and relief operations are made highly
effective. AMARC offers its knowledge and expertise in setting up
emergency broadcasting mechanisms, gathered from working around the world
in similar situations of natural disasters. The important role of
community radio in times of natural disaster for aiding relief operations
as well as for supporting rehabilitation and rebuilding has been proven
many times over. The recent examples of the positive power of community
radio was seen in the earthquakes of Haiti and Chile where AMARC played an
important role in facilitating the setting up of emergency broadcasting
stations.
It was not so long ago that community radios were brought to the forefront
of the efforts to provide relief and rehabilitate those affected by the
tsunami and floods in Indonesia. AMARC and PPF highly appreciate the
valuable work being carried out by radio stations in the flood affected
areas. There is a need to complement theses efforts by bridging the gaps
of information at the very local levels and among displaced peoples. This
can be effectively achieved by setting up emergency community radio
stations. AMARC, PPF and all other AMARC members in Pakistan offer sincere
condolences to the families of those that have perished in the floods in
Pakistan. We offer our solidarity and prayers to those that have suffered
huge emotional and material losses and extend our support to those that
are engaged in helping the affected.

Film and Television Institute of India community radio beams over Pune
http://ow.ly/2sXgu
Press Trust of India, Updated: August 21, 2010 12:37 IST
Pune: If you have something to communicate that has a social relevance
and artistic value, think of going on air without the cumbersome
formalities of an official media broadcast.
This is the message being spread by the "Community Radio" station that has
been beaming from the campus of the Film and Television Institute of India
(FTII) here.
What started as social interactive sessions of the institute's students
has spread its wings with the FTII radio network launching daily radio
capsules on a variety of topics from June this year, inviting
participation from different segments of the city population which has
touched the five-million mark.
"Individual groups, schools, NGOs, budding and creative artistes are
invited to present their views and skills on FTII Community Radio where
formalities like an audition test are not required," said Sanjay
Chandekar, who heads the station.
