[creative-radio] Women’s Media Center Releases Media Guide for Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates and Politicians

WMC Releases Media Guide for Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates
and Politicians

March 26, 2012

http://www.womensmediacenter.com/press/entry/womens-media-center-releases-the-name-it.-change-it.-media-guide-for-gender

Contact: Rachel Larris at rachel@womensmediacenter.com

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

Today the Women's Media Center releases a new Media Guide for its Name It.
Change It. <http://www.nameitchangeit.org/> Project, which works to
identify, prevent and end sexist media coverage of women candidates and
politicians. *The Women's Media Center's Media Guide to Gender Neutral
Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians* (click to download
http://wmc.3cdn.net/d70ffb626bbc4b58d8_ecm6vgfl1.pdf ) shows members of the
media how to avoid injecting sexism into their own coverage and how to spot
sexism in other's.

*Julie Burton, President of the Women's Media Center,* says "This guide was
created to show journalists and other media professionals how the use of
even subtly sexist language affects woman candidates' success in the
political arena."

The Name It. Change It. project, a joint partnership between the Women's
Media Center and She Should Run, addresses sexism in the media directed at
women candidates, politicians and high-profile individuals.

"With the release of this guide, the Women's Media Center hopes to make the
use of all sexist language both recognizable and unacceptable in politics,"
Burton says.

*Gloria Steinem, Co-Founder of the Women's Media Center, *says, "Studies
show that like bullying, the trivializing sexism used against women
candidates makes voters not want to associate with them. The problem is
that sexism itself is viewed as trivial. This guide makes its seriousness
clear, and helps reporters be fair by using parallel language for both
female and male candidates."

*The Women's Media Center's Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women
Candidates + Politicians* features groundbreaking research by Celinda Lake
on the affect of media sexism on women candidates, as well a glossary of
terms from Rosalie Maggio's *Unspinning the Spin: The Women's Media
Center's Guide to Fair + Accurate Language*, which provides definitions,
background information, and suggested alternative uses for many loaded and
politically incorrect terms.

*Robin Morgan, co-Founder of the Women's Media Center *says, "Media sexism
is used against women candidates and elected officials of all political
viewpoints; it isn't limited to one political party, and the Name It.
Change It. project fights that sexism wherever we find it. We hope that
members of the media sign our
pledge<http://www.nameitchangeit.org/page/s/equality-pledge>to treat
all subjects with respect, regardless of gender, and to create an
overall media culture in which sexism has no place."

"This shouldn't be a radical notion," Morgan says. "Giving women unequal
treatment in media coverage is plain bad journalism--and its bad for
democracy. Hopefully with this guide and the continuing work of the Name
It. Change It. <http://www.nameitchangeit.org/blog> project, more members
of the media will understand why this is important to them."

The Women's Media Center's Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women
Candidates + Politicians is available for free download on
WomensMediaCenter.com
<http://wmc.3cdn.net/d70ffb626bbc4b58d8_ecm6vgfl1.pdf>and at
NameItChangeIt.org <http://www.nameitchangeit.org/pages/media>.

[creative-radio] HOW TO BE A CITIZEN JOURNALIST Protester and documentarian has all the details

http://www.capilanocourier.com/2012/03/how-to-be-citizen-journalist-protester.html
[excerpt]

TORONTO (CUP) – Derek Soberal stands along a police barrier with a crowd in
Nathan Phillips Square as a part of a January protest against Toronto
budget cuts. Holding a small camera, he films the scene as tension grows
between the protesters and police.

The situation erupts as a protester attempts to break through the line. In
the ensuing chaos, a police officer knocks Soberal's camera down and
punches him in the face before stomping on the camera. However, when
Soberal crosses the police barrier in an attempt to retrieve his camera, he
is arrested and charged with unlawful assembly, mischief, and two counts of
obstructing a police officer.

A photo in the Toronto Sun shows Soberal in handcuffs, bruised and bloody.
He quotes Martin Luther King, Jr. in rationalizing why he went over the
police barrier to retrieve his camera, containing potential evidence of the
alleged assault: "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that
conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of
imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its
injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law."

BABY STEPS

Soberal has gone from being unable to recite his phone number without
stuttering to being a prominent voice of the Toronto protest scene,
featured on the CBC's Lang and O'Leary Exchange and credited in a G20
edition of The Fifth Estate. He also created an activist-based YouTube
channel, TheSecretStore, with over 5,000 subscribers and 3.5 million upload
views, as well as the 35,000-member Occupy Canada Facebook page.

But January's budget protest was not Soberal's first run-in with Toronto
police. His life as an activist and citizen journalist started with the
2010 G20 protests and Ryerson's now-defunct CKLN radio station's Word of
Mouth Wednesday program.

"Basically, I got involved because of the G20 summit," says Soberal. "That
was my first protest … and I exercised my rights at that time. I got
invited onto the show by [host] Daniel Libby to talk about the experience."

He would become a regular on Libby's show, eventually earning the title of
CKLN programmer.

"Derek is attracted to media attention," says Libby. "He's not afraid to
talk to reporters when they're around."

His ability to speak on the radio and communicate with the media is a
hard-earned skill – from the time he was a toddler until his teens, Soberal
underwent speech therapy. Today, he speaks with near-perfect clarity,
pausing occasionally if his stutter starts to creep back in.

He says this ability to speak publicly is inspired by Libby: "[Libby] was
confident on the radio, and my voice was cracking the first time," Soberal
says. "I learned from him."

[creative-radio] New in Paperback - The Power of Global Community Media

 

----Apologies for cross-posting----

Source:
http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=537542

[Moderator's Note:
Also available via
http://www.abebooks.com/9780230338326/Power-Community-Media-International-Perspectives-0230338321/plp ]

*New in Paperback* - 31 January 2012

*The Power of Global Community Media
Edited by Linda K. Fuller*
***With new and updated material.

Drawing on both theoretical and practical case studies, Community Media
moves from developing attempts at local media to case studies and on to
cyber-examples. Alphabetically, its more than two dozen cases include
reports on the Asian Pacific region, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium,
Brazil, Ghana, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latin America, Lebanon,
Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the
United States, as well as a number of other perspectives and (virtual)
visions. The contributors, all distinguished international
communications scholars, present a range of perspectives on the
ever-burgeoning area of grassroots, local media by the people, for the
people, their research representing participant observation, hands-on
community involvement, serving on international boards of directors,
content analysis, and ethical inquiries. It will appeal to a range of
academic disciplines, community media groups, and the thousands of
people who work in their local cable television centers to provide an
alternative voice to mainstream media.

'/For years, Fuller has been researching community media. Her collection
of studies in Community Media draws on top researchers from across the
globe to present cutting-edge analyses of what various communities and

[creative-radio] Climate Radio - Climate Voice from Bangladesh

*

Climate Radio
http://www.machizo.com/climateradio
*
'No More Change in Climate' with this slogan 'Climate Radio' initiative has
been started. This is a on-demand online radio from Bangladesh. On May 2009
it has started by publishing the voice of Sidr victims as audio format. The
purpose of the initiative is to present the voice of Bangladeshi victims in
global stage through the global media Internet. We do believe although this
is a small local content publishing initiative, but have power to reach the
global policy maker and huge number of audience. By the Bangladesh victims
at least one spirit of Northern World will stop to source of green house
gas emission by reducing his/her extra car and emitters; however global
consciousness will be raised to stop Bangladeshi floods and suffering of
climate victims Bangladeshi like venerable counties.

The motivation of the project is to doing campaign in online in favor of
climate change victims, however use of new-media for social good by rising
the grassroots voice worldwide.

In the way, by publishing voice of victims, we have visited a number of
southern districts and Bangladeshi Islands. We have produced a complete
documentary 'Victims' on the issues. However we have recorded the voice of
state head, misters, expert, journalist and voice in climate change
tribunal organized by CSRL/ Oxfam in Dhaka.
