6. Disaster through a Different Lens: Behind Every Effect, There is a Cause
- A Guide for Journalists Covering Disaster Risk Reduction
This guidebook for journalists, produced by the United Nations
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), is written not for
disaster risk reduction (DRR) practitioners, but, rather, for journalists
and the media who are interested in learning more about DRR issues. It
describes how climate change, environmental degradation, evolution of
extreme events such as droughts and floods, poverty, and rapid urbanisation
contribute to exposing more people to disasters, and discusses what the
media can contribute to convince more national and local governments to
invest more in DRR policies...

7. Informing Refugees and Returnees on Gender Based Violence
This evaluation report shares experiences and lessons learned by Search for
Common Ground in using mobile cinema and radio programming to provide a
space for discussion, as well as raise awareness and strengthen prevention,
around gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to the report, years of conflict in the DRC have given rise to
misogynistic attitudes that have made the country one of the most dangerous
places in the world to be a woman, with high levels of Sexual and
Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). Focus group discussions and listener feedback
showed that mobile cinema screening and radio programming has helped to
initiate a free and open forum for dialogue around SGBV...

[creative-radio] New Book: Peoples' Voices, Peoples' Empowerment : Community Radio in Asia & Beyond
<http://mediamentor.ca>---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Suman Basnet <suman_basnet@asiapacific.amarc.org>
Date: 7 August 2012 02:32
Subject: [Asiapacific-general] New Book on Community Radio
To: asiapacific-general@lists.amarc.org
Peoples' Voices, Peoples' Empowerment : Community Radio in Asia and Beyond
Edited By Kalinga Seneviratne
Price S$35 (Asia) US$27 (Outside Asia) Year 2012 Book Could Be
ordered on line via this link: http://www.amic.org.sg/index.php?link=9&id=84
Synopsis
Community radio expanded rapidly in Latin America and Africa in the 1980s
and the 1990s, while in Asia it was slow to take off, mainly due to
government indifference. The Philippines is often described as having
Asia?s most liberal media environments, yet, Louie Tabing, the founder of
Tambuli Community Radio describes his country?s media as a system of
PPPPP?profit, propaganda, power, politics, privilege and/ or prestige. What
Tabing argues is applicable to most countries in Asia, and the clamour for
community radio has been driven by a desire to giving a voice for the
?voiceless? masses. Thus, in recent years, community radio activists have
been able to open up Asia?s airwaves for community radio broadcasting ?
sometimes without official government sanction. In Thailand, when the
government called for applications for community radio broadcasting
licenses over 6000 applied, while in Indonesia, since the arrival of the
?Reformasi? era after the downfall of Suharto in 1998, there?s been over a
1000 community radio stations established all over the country. Almost all
of these have been unlicensed. Nepal has over 100 community radio stations
and its first community radio broadcaster Radio Sagarmatha today calls
itself a public service broadcaster. With Indian government slowly opening
up the airwaves for community radio broadcasting, it is predicted that
within 5 years there could be over 4000 community radio stations operating
across the sub-continent. Thus, community radio in Asia is now well on the
way to becoming perhaps the mainstream communication medium for both rich
and the poor, and the urban and the rural populations in Asia. This book is
thus a timely look at how the community media movement has developed across
Asia in the past 2 decades with insights from practitioners and researchers
across Asia.
Chapter Description:
This book includes chapters based on presentations made over the past 3
years on community radio in Asia and the Pacific at the AMIC annual
conference and at Radio Asia. In addition, AMIC has commissioned special
chapters for the book, especially the Case Studies and Reflections

New Book: Peoples' Voices, Peoples' Empowerment : Community Radio in Asia & Beyond
From: Suman Basnet <suman_basnet@asiapacific.amarc.org>
Date: 7 August 2012 02:32
Subject: [Asiapacific-general] New Book on Community Radio
To: asiapacific-general@lists.amarc.org
Peoples' Voices, Peoples' Empowerment : Community Radio in Asia and Beyond
Edited By Kalinga Seneviratne
Price S$35 (Asia) US$27 (Outside Asia) Year 2012 Book Could Be ordered on line via this link: http://www.amic.org.sg/index.php?link=9&id=84
Synopsis
Community radio expanded rapidly in Latin America and Africa in the 1980s and the 1990s, while in Asia it was slow to take off, mainly due to government indifference. The Philippines is often described as having Asia?s most liberal media environments, yet, Louie Tabing, the founder of Tambuli Community Radio describes his country?s media as a system of PPPPP?profit, propaganda, power, politics, privilege and/ or prestige. What Tabing argues is applicable to most countries in Asia, and the clamour for community radio has been driven by a desire to giving a voice for the ?voiceless? masses. Thus, in recent years, community radio activists have been able to open up Asia?s airwaves for community radio broadcasting ? sometimes without official government sanction. In Thailand, when the government called for applications for community radio broadcasting licenses over 6000 applied, while in Indonesia, since the arrival of the ?Reformasi? era after the downfall of Suharto in 1998, there?s been over a 1000 community radio stations established all over the country. Almost all of these have been unlicensed. Nepal has over 100 community radio stations and its first community radio broadcaster Radio Sagarmatha today calls itself a public service broadcaster. With Indian government slowly opening up the airwaves for community radio broadcasting, it is predicted that within 5 years there could be over 4000 community radio stations operating across the sub-continent. Thus, community radio in Asia is now well on the way to becoming perhaps the mainstream communication medium for both rich and the poor, and the urban and the rural populations in Asia. This book is thus a timely look at how the community media movement has developed across Asia in the past 2 decades with insights from practitioners and researchers across Asia.
Chapter Description:
