[creative-radio] Call for Submissions - Gender, media freedom and access to information

Call for Submissions
Gender and Media Diversity Journal Issue 10
Gender, media freedom and access to information

Please contact GMDC Manager Saeanna Chingamuka for detailed guidelines
gmdcmanager@genderlinks.org.za

The Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC) seeks proposals for
contributions to its tenth journal that will enhance the development and
sharing of knowledge, best practices and debate around media diversity, as
well as promote probing, analytical and contextual journalism. The Gender
and Media Diversity Journal (GMDJ) is the biennial journal of the GMDC, a
physical and virtual resource centre based in Southern Africa, managed by
Gender Links with linkages in Africa and across the globe.

The tenth edition of the GMDJ will focus on the topic of "Gender, media
freedom and access to information." The theme is mainly informed by the 2011
Windhoek +20 celebrations of the Windhoek Declaration on Promoting
Independent and Pluralistic Media that was adopted in 1991 to improve media
freedom in Africa. The May 2011 celebrations acknowledged the significance
of the declaration in improving media freedom in Africa. Media activists are
now turning their attention to another freedom of expression issue, access
to information.

Issue ten will explore various aspects of media freedom and access to
information. These include:
. How can gender be integrated into freedom of expression discourse
. The laws that are in place to enhance media freedom and access to
information
. what research has been done to bring to measure the gender disparities in
media content as well as access to information
. what interventions have been made to ensure that the media is accessible
to both women and men
. how can gender be mainstreamed in media and journalism training's media
law module and media freedom concepts
. can ICTs enhance access to information and provide an alternative platform
for women to be heard .
It will also raise some complex questions around gender, climate change and
media. As with all editions of the GMDJ, contributors are encouraged to
explore the gender and diversity dimensions of media freedom and access to
information.

Contributions are sought in the following broad categories, but are not
limited to:

. What's New - briefs on new research, initiatives in training and
education, policy initiatives, and IT developments relevant to gender, media
and diversity, and activism. (500 words each)
. Media watch - review of media programmes from a gender and diversity
perspective, reports on recent monitoring projects by gender and media
networks (750 words each)
. Talk back - opinion (750 words) and letters (250 words).
. Submissions relating to the theme for this issue (see below).

In focus Topic
Overview and in-depth articles are between 3000-3500 words including
references.

Deadlines:
Submission of abstract: 27 July
Deadline for submission of commissioned articles: 16 August
Deadline for revisions: 22 August

[creative-radio] Gates Foundation Funds Community Radio in Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia Africa

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a community radio network
in Africa that is aimed at breaking down linguistic barriers between rural
communities while improving their communication with decision makers.

*Pilot Project* *- Linking communities*

The Pan African Radio Platform
<http://www.panosea.org/index.php?page&i=39>pilot project connects
broadcasters in Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia to
give local communities a stronger voice in national development.

The Gates Foundation <http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/home.aspx> is
funding the program through the PANOS Institute of West Africa. At its
launch Friday, the institute's director general, Diana Senghor, said the
project aims to improve communication between decision makers and their
constituents. "I think the community radio are the only means for the
ordinary people to have their say, especially in the local governments
without radio stations," she said.

The project links community radio at local and national levels to produce
and exchange programs on development issues. Senghor says those stations
have a unique ability to empower local communities.

"Community radio stations can denounce corruption, for instance. They can
have groups of people [who are] generally excluded, included for instance
women or the young people you have here. So the role of the community radio
is really crucial for democracy," Senghor states.

FSRN is hiring! Please share with anyone you know who might be interested.
Send application materials to jobs@fsrn.org.

DC Correspondent Position

Free Speech Radio News is looking for a creative, passionate and experienced
broadcast news reporter to join our worker-run collective.

Free Speech Radio News is the only collectively run daily news program in
the United States, and is broadcast on more than 110 stations across the
country. FSRN has reporters in 40 states and 50 countries and covers
national and international stories that aren't being told elsewhere,
highlighting how the actions of elected officials and decision-makers affect
real people.

The DC Staff Correspondent plays a crucial role in determining and carrying
out our coverage from Capitol Hill, and is a familiar and trusted voice for
our audience. Our ideal candidate is a news junkie, who eats and sleeps
current events and is constantly on the look-out for new and under-reported
stories and voices.

Responsibilities:

-File a 3-4 minute long feature story each day on breaking news and current
events emanating from Washington and the US Capitol.

-Gather additional sound from events, press conferences, speeches and

-Plan and execute FSRN's 2012 Election coverage.

-Participate in daily editorial meetings.

-Prepare multimedia elements for FSRN's website, including video.

-Recruit, train and oversee DC freelance reporters.

-Participate as a guest on radio shows throughout the Pacifica Network and
on stations airing FSRN.

-Participate in staff collective that helps to run FSRN, including attending
staff meetings and annual meeting, and serving on committees.

-As a collective, decisions at FSRN are made in a decentralized manner.
Consequently, the ideal candidate must be comfortable with this kind of
process and be able to work effectively with it. Also due to the collective
nature of the organization, the candidate must be able to function with a
high level of autonomy.

-Other duties as required

Qualifications:

-Proven track record filing feature stories covering government on daily
deadline
-Solid understanding of Congress and legislative process
-Excellent writing, communication and organizational skills
-Ability to find appropriate and diverse sources on short turn-around
-Ability to write accurate, compelling radio stories on tight daily
deadlines
-Ability to find new, under-reported angles and break news of interest to
the FSRN audience
-Knowledge of and dedication to grassroots radio/independent journalism

Preferred experience:

-2 years daily deadline reporting experience in Washington, DC
-Experience shooting and editing video
-Fluency in languages other than English
-Journalism training and mentoring background
-Investigative reporting experience

Location: Washington, DC office. Candidates must have their own
broadcast-quality radio recording equipment.

Hours: This is a full-time, 40-hour per week position, Monday through Friday
with occasional weekend work. We provide paid holidays, two weeks of
vacation and the opportunity to participate in an egalitarian worker-run
structure. Currently, FSRN does not provide health care.
