AMARC Asia Pacific Community Training Forum Inaugurated

December 11, 2011, Bangkok. First AMARC Asia Pacific Community Radio
Training Forum for Enhancing Capacities of Community Broadcasters for
Tackling Climate Change, Fighting Poverty, Promoting Human Rights, and
Supporting Sustainable Development was inaugurated today. Supinya
Klagnarong, Commissioner of the National Broadcasting and
Telecommunications Commission of Thailand (NBTC) declared the Forum open
amidst a gathering of regulators, trainers and broadcasters from 25
countries of Asia Pacific and other parts of the world. The Forum is being
organized by the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, AMARC
Asia Pacific and hosted by the NBTC, from 11-13 December 2011 in Bangkok,
Thailand.

In her inaugural address, Ms. Klagnarong expressed delight for being able
to host the 1st AMARC Asia Pacific Community Radio Training Forum in
Thailand. She spoke of the recent initiatives underway in Thailand for
regularising the media sector as a whole and for promoting an enabling and
encouraging atmosphere for the community radio sector in that country.
Earlier, in his remarks the AMARC Asia Pacific President Ashish Sen spoke
about the value of the training forum for enhancing the capacities of
community radios in tacking burning issues of climate change, food
security, and natural disaster risk mitigation, that are challenging lives
of people across the region in way never experienced before. While
thanking the NBTC for hosting the event, he mentioned that capacity
building activities would be regularised to help community broadcasters
deal with emerging issues and technologies in a way that best serve the
needs of the communities they work for.

Delivering a message of solidarity from the International President and
Board of AMARC, Marcelo Solervicens, Secretary General of AMARC Asia
Pacific pointed to the challenges being confronted locally as well as
regionally and globally in terms of climate, economy, and governance, and
the contributions that community broadcasters offer in mitigating the
negative impacts at all levels of the society by working directly with
ordinary citizens, the marginalised, and those at the grassroots. Earlier
during the inauguration, Prasert Aphiphunya, Deputy Secretary General of
the office of the NBTC presented a report from the Forum.

The 1st AMARC Asia Pacific Community Radio Training Forum for Enhancing
Capacities of Community Broadcasters is being participated by over 130
participants from the Asia Pacific region. It is supported by AusAid,
Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO),
UNESCO, UNICEF, UNEP, UNWOMEN, CTA, EED, Oxfam-Novib, and several regional
and national partners. The capacity building event will offer opportunity
to community radio broadcasters of Asia Pacific region to systematize
their experiences, to network with and learn from international trainers
and experts and to define strategies to increase the effectiveness of
their interventions. Participants will review strategies for setting up
community radio stations, promoting community participation, program
production, production technology, and advocacy strategies for improving
conditions for the development of community broadcasting. Utilizing
training workshops and hands on demonstrations the Training Forum will
promote gender sensitivity, strengthen community broadcasting for poverty
reduction, and enhance the capacity of community radio stations to address
climate change and disaster management. In addition to explaining concepts
and principles, the Training Forum will include practical subjects such as
research techniques, script writing, interviewing, editing, and using
digital recording and computer based editing.

Sharing of ideas and learning are being carried out on specific thematic
streams of workshops so that broadcasters can directly apply their
learning to address the concerns of the communities in the Asia-Pacific
region such as food security, good governance, empowering women, improving
literacy, generating employment opportunities, improving local governance,
and promoting the rights of the marginalised. For latest updates, please

[creative-radio] NEW AUDO TOOL: Tascam DR-40 Digital Recorder

TRANSOM.org a showcase & workshop for new public radio
http://www.transom.org December 1, 2011 *
NEW TOOL: Tascam DR-40 Digital Audio Recorder *
Transom is always searching for the ideal field recording devices at the
lowest cost.
Our TOOLS Editor Jeff Towne just reviewed the new Tascam DR-40 and says,
"At last! The recorder we've been waiting for!
Well, almost..." Details on the pros and cons are in the pull-quote below,
and for the full review--including audio samples with various microphones,
comparisons to similar units, a full dissection of the menus and features,
and all of Jeff's typically thorough testing--come read the review:
http://transom.org/?p=21768
Drop over any time, Jay Allison Atlantic Public Media Woods Hole,
Massachusetts http://www.transom.org
======================
"It DOES have most of the attributes we want: convenient size, good price,
XLR inputs, good built-in mics, decent construction quality, reasonably
simple operation, and overall good sound quality.
And there are a few unexpected bonuses: the 4-track and dual recording
modes are very useful improvements over standard recorders, the Peak
Reduction mode is a very clever level-setting aid, true mono recording
saves memory space, it can record WAV files at up to 24 bit and 96khz, or
several rates of MP3 files if desired.

But there are also a few negatives: it's unacceptably noisy with dynamic
mics to record quiet sources such as interviews, too many of the controls
are buried in menus, the input gain is on an up/down rocker switch rather
than a dial, the headphone jack is a fragile mini, the built-in mics are
very wind-sensitive and no wind screen is provided."

Re: [creative-radio] UK: Ofcom publishes Community Radio Report 2010-11

Dear Salvatore,

thank you for sending through the executive summary.

I am currently on vacation so dont have ready access to Australian figures but I would like to make some general observations based on the material you sent through.

----------------------------
1.5 The legislation also requires that Ofcom sets licence conditions limiting the amount of income that individual stations can generate from on-air advertising and sponsorship. For the majority of stations this limit is 50%. However, two stations have lower limits (25% and 10%) and a further 18 stations cannot take income from on-air advertising and sponsorship at all. These additional restrictions have been put in place to protect existing small commercial services whose coverage areas overlap with the community services.

This is the most disturbing point in the report. Not for profit organisations (as the report classes CRs as) should never be seen as a 'threat' that the commercial operators need "protection" from. If this logic was carried over to other not for profits then hospitals, schools, recycled clothing stores and many other communicty services run by not for profit foundations or organisations would have to cease income generating operations as many of them perform services along side commercial operators.

I do hope the various CR organistions are making lots of noise about this restriction.

Furthermore, this seems to contradict not only the OFCOM's stated recognition of CR as not for profit but to also limit the ability of these stations to "deliver community benefits, known as 'social gain'" to the communities they serve. Could this be a 'restriction on trade' as its known here in Australia and therefore be challengable in the courts?

----------------------------
1.15 Public sources of funding accounted for 25% of the total sector income. Local authorities accounted for around 13% of the sector's total income. 8% of income came from other public bodies such as the Arts Council, health providers, educational establishments and various national lottery award schemes.

In Australia CR's income is roughly 30%, 30%, 30% - 30% self funded (memberships, fundraising drives and so on), 30% from funding sources such as government grants and about 30% sponsorship.

Some stations are more skewed to one of these sources than the other but across the whole sector this has been the trend for many years. Meltropolitan stations tend to rely less on grants (overall) and more on fund raising and sponsorship and memberships while regional / rural stations tend to have less (if any paid staff) and have a higher reliance on grants. As I said, these are general comments and there are (as always) exceptions to this.
----------------------------

1.16 The Community Radio Fund, which is administered by Ofcom on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, accounted for £321,500 (around 3% of the sector's total reported income). The Community Radio Fund continues to be the largest single source of income for the sector.

In Australia the Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) administers federal funding grants. The bulk of these are for indigenous and ethnic language services.

Over the last few years there has been funding for metropolitan wide stations to go digital. Sub metro (in other words low power) and regional / rural stations cannot access these grants.

The CBF administers small grants which can be for training, equipment upgrades, administration costs and sundry expenses that may be 'out of the ordinary'. They do not seek funds from philanthropic bodies.
----------------------------

1.21 Community radio stations broadcast live for around 82 hours per week on average, and, in general, broadcast a further 12 hours per week of original pre-recorded material. On average around 32% of daytime output is speech which can feature a wide range of local organisations and community initiatives.

This equates to about 12 hours a day of 'live to air' programming which is on par with our sector. I am not sure what the "12 hours per week of original pre-recorded material" refers to so I cant compare that.

The 32% of spoken word content is interesting. Does this take into account all spoken word (ie news, sponsorship scripts, sports commentary and so on) or is it material that could be classed as 'editorial'. In other words, is it substantial commentary on social, political and other civil society concerns?

If it is the latter, then I and very impressed. I dont think we have any stats in Australia that would reveal 'spoken word content'.
----------------------------

1.23 The average station reports the involvement of around 78 volunteers annually, although there is a wide variation. Together these volunteers give on average of around 295 hours a week of their time in total. Time given by volunteers can vary considerably from an hour or two to over 1,000 hours per week.

This is a very impressive stat. I would be interested to know what the demographic breakdown is (M / F, age, income, roles etc).
----------------------------

I look forward to reading the full report at some stage and do encourage you and the rest of the team to keep up the good work in your lobbying and efforts to continuen to build the CR sector in your region

Warm Regards
Shane Elson
Treasurer, AMARC-AP

[creative-radio] UK: Ofcom publishes Community Radio Report 2010-11

---Apologies for cross-posting---

Source:
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/radio/community/annual-reports/10-11/

Full report at:
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/radio-ops/CR-AR-10-11.pdf

*Executive summary*

1.1 Community radio stations are not-for-profit radio services designed
to operate on a small scale and to deliver community benefits, known as
'social gain'. The legislation enabling community radio services to be
licensed was introduced in 2004 and amended in January 2010. The first
community radio station launched in November 2005. This is Ofcom's
fourth annual report on the community radio sector.

1.2 Ofcom has to date licensed 231 stations over three rounds of
licensing. 196 of these are broadcasting and a further 23 have either
decided not to launch or have handed their licence back, largely due to
funding problems. The remainder are preparing to start broadcasting. The
second round of licensing concluded in August 2010 and a third round of
community radio licensing commenced in April 2011.

1.3 Community radio serves a diverse range of communities. The majority
of stations serve a general audience in either an urban/suburban area
(16%) or a town/rural area (43%). Many services, however, serve smaller
communities of interest. This includes, for example, those aimed at
minority ethnic groups (13%), a youth audience (11%) and those with a
religious focus (6%). Of the licences awarded, 187 are in England, 14 in
Northern Ireland, 20 in Scotland and 10 in Wales.

1.4 The legislation governing community radio sets out the
characteristics of community radio services and defines social gain.
Each station has a set of 'key commitments', which forms part of its
licence and sets out how it will meet these characteristics and deliver
social gain. The key commitments includes how a station will make itself
accountable to its target community and ensure access, its programming
aims and its commitments with regard to training and other social gain
objectives.

1.5 The legislation also requires that Ofcom sets licence conditions
limiting the amount of income that individual stations can generate from
on-air advertising and sponsorship. For the majority of stations this
limit is 50%. However, two stations have lower limits (25% and 10%) and
a further 18 stations cannot take income from on-air advertising and
sponsorship at all. These additional restrictions have been put in place
to protect existing small commercial services whose coverage areas
overlap with the community services.

1.6 Each station that has been broadcasting for more than a year is
required to complete an annual report. The reports detail how each
station has performed against its key commitments and identifies its
sources of income and expenditure. The financial aspect of the reporting
enables Ofcom to check whether the station has stayed within the
legislative restrictions on funding.

1.7 For the period April 2010 to March 2011 Ofcom received key
commitments annual reports from 163 stations and financial annual
reports from 161 stations. One station was excused from providing a
financial report and one station did not provide its financial report in
time to be included in this report. Another station did not submit
either its key commitments or financial reports.

1.8 Annual reports were not required from stations that launched during
this period or subsequently and are therefore not included in this report.

1.9 In 2010/11 the average (mean) station's income was around £63,000.
The median figure, the mid-point in the distribution of stations'
income, was considerably lower at £42,000. This is because a small
number of stations are earning significantly more than the majority.

1.10 The total reported income of the four highest earning stations,
each reporting over £250,000 income for the relevant period and earning
a total of just over £1.5m, equates roughly to the total income of the
74 lowest income stations. If we exclude the four highest earning
stations' income then the average income drops to £54,500. The median
figure remains relatively similar at £41,000.

1.11 Stations targeting a community of interest (rather than a
geographic community) reported a higher income than the sector average.
Stations serving a general audience in an urban area reported a higher
average income than town/rural stations (£89,500 as opposed to £45,000).

1.12 The average (mean) sector income is down by around 19% on the
previous year's reported figure. In the 2009/10 period income had
dropped by around 6% compared to the period prior to this. The median
income for the current reporting period has dropped by 7% compared to
the 2009/10 period.

1.13 Trend analysis undertaken on the stations which have reported in
each of the last two years (i.e. 2009/10 and 2010/11) indicates that the
average (mean) income for these stations has dropped by only 0.05%
(£70,500 in 2010/11 compared to £74,500 in 2009/10 for the same group of
stations). This may indicate that the financial situation for those
stations that have submitted annual reports for the last two financial
periods has remained relatively stable.

1.14 When compared to previous years, the proportion of income from
specified sources appears relatively similar. The most significant type
of income for the sector is grant funding, which accounts for 37% of the
total. Income from on-air advertising or sponsorship accounted for
around 21% of total income across the sector. 23% of stations submitting
financial returns did not take income from advertising and sponsorship
in this reporting period. Of these 37 stations, 25 chose not to take
this type of income as a matter of choice or policy. The remaining 12
stations were prohibited under their licence from doing so.

1.15 Public sources of funding accounted for 25% of the total sector
income. Local authorities accounted for around 13% of the sector's total
income. 8% of income came from other public bodies such as the Arts
Council, health providers, educational establishments and various
national lottery award schemes.

1.16 The Community Radio Fund, which is administered by Ofcom on behalf
of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, accounted for £321,500
(around 3% of the sector's total reported income). The Community Radio
Fund continues to be the largest single source of income for the sector.

1.17 Community radio stations, on average, are spending slightly more
than their income. Stations cost, on average, around £64,500 to run.
This has declined by 13% compared to the previous reporting period. The
median expenditure for this reporting period has dropped to £40,000
compared to £52,000 the 2009/10 period.

1.18 Trend analysis undertaken on the stations which have reported in
each of the last two years (i.e. 2009/10 and 2010/11) indicates that the
average (mean) expenditure for these stations has dropped by only 0.03%
(£72,000 in 2010/11 compared to £74,500 in 2009/10 for the same group of
stations). This analysis gives some insight into how those stations
reporting for two full financial periods have fared year-on-year.

1.19 The highest cost for community radio stations remains staff
expenditure, which accounted for around 50% of stations' costs. Premises
and technical costs, as in previous years, accounted for the next most
significant outlay.

1.20 Around 44% of stations that returned a financial annual report were
in deficit. Of these 71 stations in deficit, 24% (39 stations) reported
this to be in excess of £10,000 (the highest was £90,000). At the other
end of the scale, one station had a surplus of £75,000. In most cases,
large deficits are being funded by parent organisations; any surpluses
are typically invested in the operation of the service.

1.21 Community radio stations broadcast live for around 82 hours per
week on average, and, in general, broadcast a further 12 hours per week
of original pre-recorded material. On average around 32% of daytime
output is speech which can feature a wide range of local organisations
and community initiatives.

1.22 Some stations focus on particular genres of music, while those
serving a geographic audience generally broadcast more mainstream music
during daytime programming, moving to specialist output in the evening.

1.23 The average station reports the involvement of around 78 volunteers
annually, although there is a wide variation. Together these volunteers
give on average of around 295 hours a week of their time in total. Time
given by volunteers can vary considerably from an hour or two to over
1,000 hours per week.

1.24 At a cost of just over £10 million pounds, based on the reports
received from stations in this reporting period, community radio in the
UK delivered:
A total of more than 12,500 volunteering opportunities
Over 45,000 volunteer hours each week
Over 15,000 hours of original radio output each week
Output broadcast in a wide range of community languages

1.25 There are now over 190 stations broadcasting and Ofcom estimates
that volunteers contribute close to 250,000 hours a month to community
radio.

1.26 Given that the community radio sector is now relatively mature,
Ofcom does not intend to publish an annual report of this type for
2011/12. However, all relevant stations will still be required to submit
an annual report as part of their demonstration of compliance with
licence and other statutory requirements.

[creative-radio] Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing in Köln – Less than 10 refugees participated

Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing in Köln – Less than 10 refugees
participated

About 20 Activists assembled on Tuesday 22.11.11 at 8am to protest the
Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing taking place at the Central
Foreigners Office, Am Blaubach 13, Köln.

The Central Foreigners Office (Z.A.B) Köln is one amongst notable
institutions that facilitate the traumatisation of refugees through abuses
in the likes of country embassy identification of the Victims for
deportation.

This protest is in line with "The VOICE Refugee Forum" commitment to
expose the deportations and the corrupt collaboration of refugee countries
with the German deportation authorities where the Nigerian embassy is
playing the leading role.

With active support from Activists of "Autonomy Zentrum" and other persons
and groups in Köln, an intention to begin with a community breakfast was
interrupted as the Police in suspicion approached the gathering to
question our agenda.
The police tried their usual threat of penalty and telephone parade but
the Activists expressed their determination of of no fear as they
themselves were informed of the legal basis of such actions.

In a bid to avoid unnecessary distraction as the Police would like it, the
activists unanimously agreed on a spontaneous registration but the
responsible Officials still went further to petition the availability of
Banner at the Venue.

Amongst 22 refugees invited for that day, less than 10 refugees within
Bayern and Rheinland Pfalz appeared for the exercise.

Participating refugees were informed on the basis of the invitation to the
hearing and advised on possibilities to save themselves from deportation.

We hereby call on Refugees and Activists to support the planned protest
action at the Nigerian Embassy premises for its leading role in country
embassy deportation collaboration.

The Nigerian Embassy is known for its monthly mobile deportation hearing
in different German Cities and we are committed to protest their presence
at any possible hearing.

The preparatory meeting for the Berlin Action is expected to take place in
Stuttgart on a date that is yet to be decided.

Refugee support groups should endeavour to mobilise refugees in their
region for this action as the fight against one deportation affects all.
