Vous ?tes invit?-e ? participer ? la premi?re convergence des m?dias et
technologies libres, en pr?paration au prochain Forum social mondia
(FSM). Cette rencontre se d?roulera le 10 mars en soir?e et vise ?
rassembler les m?dias activistes, journalistes, hackers, chercheur-e-s
universitaires et citoyen-ne-s engag?-e-s sur les enjeux des
communications, m?dias et technologies, et pr?voyant participer et/ou
organiser des ?v?nements lors du prochain Forum social mondial.
Le Forum social mondial est une rencontre de la soci?t? civile
internationale qui r?unit presque chaque ann?e des dizaines de milliers
de participant-e-s provenant des organisations non-gouvernementales, des
mouvements sociaux et des collectifs de base, dans l?objectif de
r?fl?chir aux alternatives au mod?le ?conomique actuel et de cr?er des
opportunit?s pour construire ensemble des politiques alternatives. Le
prochain Forum social mondial se tiendra ? Montr?al, du 9 au 14 ao?t
2016 (http://fsm2016.org ).
Les enjeux li?s aux m?dias et aux technologies ont re?u une attention
variable dans les diff?rents Forums sociaux mondiaux. Des salles de
presse pour les m?dias alternatifs ont fr?quemment ?t? mis en place pour
assurer une couverture ind?pendante du FSM. Des ateliers, tables rondes
et discussions ont ?galement ?t? organis?s autour des th?mes des m?dias
et du pouvoir, de la surveillance en contexte num?rique ou de la
gouvernance d?Internet. De plus, depuis 2009, un forum th?matique appel?
le ?Forum mondial des m?dias libres? est organis? pour traiter
sp?cifiquement de ces enjeux. La 5^e ?dition de ce Forum aura lieu lors
du FSM de Montr?al (http://fmml.net ).
En pr?paration au FSM2016, le comit? d?organisation local du Forum
mondial des m?dias libres (FMML) invite les organisations et les
individus actifs sur les enjeux des m?dias et des technologies ?
participer ? cette premi?re convergence. Outre la pr?sentation de notre
initiative, la rencontre permettra ? celles et ceux qui pr?parent des
initiatives similaires pour le FSM de se connaitre et de coordonner
leurs activit?s. La question de la couverture m?diatique du FSM sera
?galement ? l?ordre du jour. Nous esp?rons que cette rencontre pourra
renforcer l?ensemble des activit?s du FSM li?es aux m?dias et aux
technologies.
La participation ? distance sera possible sur demande. Pour participer ?

*First Free Media and Technology Convergence*
In preparation of the World Social Forum 2016 - August 9-14 (fsm2016.org
)
and the 5th edition of the World Forum on Free Media
*March 10, 2016 at 6pm (doors open at 5h30pm)*
3720, Avenue du Parc, second floor, Montreal
(Alternatives offices)
You are invited to join the March 10th Media and Technology Convergence
that will bring together free media makers, including autonomous and
alternative media activists, journalists, hackers, academic researchers,
etc, who are attending and/or organizing events around the upcoming
World Social Forum (WSF).
The WSF an international meeting of civil society that brings together
tens of thousands participants from social movements, non-governmental
organizations, and grassroots collectives to cultivate alternatives to
the current economic model and provide opportunities to collaboratively
build alternative global politics. The next WSF will be held in Montreal
between August 9th and 14th 2016 (http://fsm2016.org).
Media and technology issues have been given a varying importance in the
WSF gatherings. In past social forums, independent media press rooms
were put in place to support alternative coverage of the WSF. Workshops
and panels were also organized about thematics such as media and power,
Internet governance, and digital surveillance. Additionally, since 2009,
a ?thematic forum? called the World Forum on Free Media (or WFFM -
http://www.fmml.net ) has been created, which will
gather for its 5th edition during the upcoming WSF.
In preparation for the WSF in Montreal, the Local Organizing Committee
of this year?s WFFM is inviting organizations and individuals active on
issues of media and technology to attend this first convergence. Apart
from presenting the WFFM, this event will serve as a meeting place for
people to know each other and to coordinate their activities.
Alternative media coverage of the WSF will also be on the agenda. We
expect this collaborative meeting will strengthen WSF activities related
to media and technology.
Remote participation will be available on demand. If you require remote
participation or more information, please contact the Local Organizing
Committee for the World Forum on Free Media by email at
convergence at fmml.net .

My understanding from Al Davis is Tanya had been stalking him for several

responded and she flowed out a mistreated story.

That is essentially correct. She would not accept that we did not want
her as a volunteer at WLPP, showed up after being told not to at the GRC
creating a scene with Donna and Al, created a rift between us and a
nearby LP station (since fixed) that she formerly had been a "volunteer"
at and peppered my email with pretty much insane messages which was why
she was unwelcome here in the first place.
I used to work as a Psychiatric Aide with mental patients and we weed
them out when they show up here.
She is obsessed with Al Davis and still emailing and messaging him
constantly as well.

so you can teach them how to weed out mental patients when they show up anywhere.

Below is Tom Voorhees original response to my difficulties withDonna DiBianco and Al Davis: _________________________
Feb 17 at 10:40 AM
Hi Tanya,
Do I remember you correctly from the North Hampton GRC some ten years ago?
I am on the road for another two days and not able to participate in lengthy e-mails.
Please try to understand you are dealing with two very impaired individuals
with far along debilitating terminal diseases.
They both have long radio histories of much value to the GRC,
so we have learned to tolerate there many indiscretions.
I am sorry this got aimed at you and I will try to be supportive of your situation going forward.
I have a heavy radio problem to solve, but should be available on the phone again in a few days.
Otherwise all we can do is try to make tomorrow a better day.
Tom.___________________
And here is an excerpt from one of the emails he was responding to:
????????I see a pattern around Donna DiBianco and those who support her;
????????a pattern that includes discrediting, ostracizing, shunning, excluding, and then disappearing.
????????Regardless of anything that went down, regardless of anything that's been said or done????????by anyone, I know that I deserve to have a voice, and that my story deserves to be heard.__________________________

I now understand I do not have the skills necessary to be helpful to you.
So I will no longer be trying to do so.

What I liked about David Barsamian, is that, when I askedif I could tell him what happened at GRC Palenville,he said, "Tell me what happened."? All the way in Lebanon.And then wrote back.? He's awesome.? And that's why he's
David Barsamian and does what he does in life.
He was actually the only person here who treated me like a human being;may he be an example to you all.
Tom Voorhees STARTED to treat me like a human being,but that was followed by betrayal,and failing to follow through with the promised discussion.
Whatever happened to the 60's, when people actually talked things out?The 60's have left America.? Lorenzo followed them to Oaxaca,Jeremy followed them to Macao, and Jim Ellinger is following them
to Ghana.?
Poor Jim, all he wanted to know was what radio station I was from,and then all hell broke loose.? He must be like, "What did I just start?"I sent him my ideas on the startup in Ghana.? So naturally he was curious.It's okay, Jim, it wasn't your fault, it's just that they were chomping at the bit.

*Request for Proposals: Volunteer Opportunity*
*Alameda Community Radio (KACR) ? Program Direction Intern*
Alameda Community Radio (ACR) was granted a construction permit by the FCC
to build a Low-Power FM radio station in Alameda, California. Soon, Alameda
Community Radio will be broadcasting as KACR at 96.1 FM.
We are looking for a savvy intern (unfortunately unpaid) to curate and
improve our Internet stream for this transitional period. Specifically, we
want someone to explore syndicated audio programming with an emphasis on
compelling public affairs and arts and cultural programming to identify
content that will engage our Alameda audience, isn't repetitively offered
on other accessible outlets, and can help to brand our specific identity
and value to Alamedans as we move toward terrestrial broadcast and the
generation of truly local programming.
*Qualifications: *Some hands-on experience in radio (either community-based
or other radio) is preferred but not necessary, a familiarity or
willingness to research both Bay Area tastes and the specific nature of
Alameda as a distinct community in the region, good awareness of the other
radio offerings in the area, and some knowledge of podcasts and other
available content options.
You will work under the supervision of a seven-member board of directors
that meets in the evening or on Saturday afternoons, and may have to attend
a board meeting occasionally. Otherwise the work schedule is flexible,
although we are looking to upgrade our Internet stream quickly.
*What You Receive:* Working on the creation and operation of a
market/city-specific audio stream is great experience. If the project is
successful and creates a noticeable uptick in listeners, this will provide
valuable resume experience for Internet communications positions. Plus you
get to be a big part of building a new local radio station!
*How To Apply:* Please send a letter with a little bit about you, why you
think you might want to take this on, what previous experience you bring to
the table, and what you think makes an Internet audio stream compelling and
listenable. Send letter to *info at alamedacommunityradio.org

Tom,
The "skills necessary" comment sounds like a back-handed insultand I'm not having it.
Sounds like you've bought into the Donna DiBianco school of thought.
It does not take skills to show up for a discussion.
It simply takes follow-through, and actually showing up instead ofchanging your mind due to buying into other people's distorted nonsense.You allowed others to influence you.
Actually the skill I'm looking for is "strength" - strength to not be swayed by what others say.I think it's also known as "backbone."

Attn:
Cathryn Platine's statements on this list are so full of inaccuraciesthat it will take me half a day to correct them.
Let's just knock off one falsehood right now.
"showed up .......... creating a scene with Donna and Al"
Cathryn P. was not on the Central House porch, the night of Sept. 24.?
Therefore she could not have witnessed a scene on the porch.She wasn't there.? She was inside.? Therefore she didn't see anything.
Her "information" about this "scene" comes entirely from Al and Donna,who insist there was a scene created by me, which is false.
A peaceful inquiry resulting in information essentially withheld took place.I had a commitment to myself not to speak unless spoken to.Al Davis initiated verbal interchange, stating, "What are you doing here?"
Following that, I tried to obtain answers to the reasons for the questioning of my being there,since Donna never stated any change of plans from "Come to the Conference,"she having been my point of contact.? I did not acknowledge Cathryn's nasty emailas having weight, as GRC is not normally nasty, and the email did not contain evidence of being sponsored by GRC.
It seems the price had been set at $150 to keep me out, though I had a donation with me, and had volunteered.
Before I could obtain much of an explanation,it was Donna who created a scene by running onto the porch, pulling Al inside,and slamming a door.? Without saying "excuse me."? This person-snatching almost reminds me of purse-snatching.It was very uncool, and it felt like I'd just been robbed.? This unprecedented act felt pretty outrageous.
Most people would never dream of doing anything like that.
That was Part I of the scene.
Part 2 of the Scene:
Donna:????????????? Opens door for 20 seconds, says Goodnight to people.
Me to Donna:??? "Do you possess Al?? Do you own Al?"? (In response to outrageous enactment of person-removal)
Me, Final Statement:???? "What You Are Doing Is Not Good."??? (massive amounts of assumptions, manipulations, gossip,????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? false implications, deceptions, fear-based actions)
Donna:??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???? Slinks away behind closed door, strange look on face.
That was not me creating a "scene."?? That was my response to Donna's creating a scene.
There were GRC members on the porch that night;? by end of night, maybe only 5 people.Did those 5 people report a "scene"??? Did anyone out there actually hear or see or experience a "scene"?
Any "scene" was created by Donna.? My "Final Statement" was a peaceful protest to her insane "person-removal" behavior.
Let's hear from those 5 witnesses, if at all possible.
Cathryn Platine did not witness any scene, therefore she has no right to say there was one. ? ?

Now Cathryn, this is news to me that I'd ever volunteered at a low-power station.
Don't you ever fact-check?
If you're doing something not quite right, I send out reports.
I seem to remember sending reports out on the following:
????????1)? the fact that GRC2015 emails were not being answered
????????2)? the fact that you were not making efforts to work things out with poor people

All I do is send out the reports.? If a rift develops, that's on you.Take some responsibility here.?

Dear Lisa,
Best greetings from Uganda.
My name is Ojok Moses Ricky, a founder and director of Genehen Broadcasting
Services.
Genehen Broadcasting Services (GBS) is a small media consultancy
established in 2013 and based in Northern Uganda.
I came across your email contact from a website refer the link
http://www.radioproject.org/aboutus/people/. I commend you for the great
work, I am an admirer of the kind of work you do to engage
audience/community.
GBS majority of work relates to working with media especially community
oriented radios aid agencies training staff on audience research,
marketing, programmes production.
Genehen Broadcasting Services (GBS) in conjunction with Audience Dialogue,
Australia, trained and supported 12 community/local radio stations in
Uganda with funding from Stem van Afrika, Netherlands in collaboration with
Catholic Media Council (CAMECO), Germany and Uganda Episcopal Conference in
the area of audience research from July 2014 ? December 2014.
>From December 8th ? 10th 2014 trained and supported Deutsche Welle
Akadamie, Germany two partner radio stations In Jinja town, Uganda on the
improvement in audience knowledge, use of information and marketing
effectiveness.
Currently, GBS is undertook a small audience research for an Anglican
church founded Christian radio called Voice of Life FM based in North West
Uganda.
GBS continues to witness information gaps as most radios do not engage/air
audience needs and preferences and would like to get into community
oriented broadcasting and our service will broaden the range of local
services provided in this area or locality and be of a nature or have a
content distinct from that of any local broadcast services already
operating in this area and services provided primarily for the good of
members of the public/communities and in order to deliver social gain.
I am asking for assistance with equipment that any radio station you know
may be having and can be donated to me especially the ones they are no
longer using ? left over when their equipment was upgraded to a
better/faster/easier-to-use system. In most cases, i need the equipment to
be working, or repairable. In particular, my immediate radio needs include:
-
Transmission and studio equipment
Or if you come across or know anyone (well wisher) who may help me to
purchase the modest equipment, please contact:

Subject: [grc] HOSTING GRC - Zachary from KUHS please take special note
Message-ID:
The GRC has a very open process for planning conferences. To help the
process be more successful, a number of GRC alumni met recently to talk
over how we could assist and support the process.
W e suggest this process for finding each year's host:
1. A station becomes interested in hosting
2. The station uses the self-audit checklist - to be provided - to
determine whether they really want to go ahead with hosting and whether
they have the capacity
2. If the station decides they have the capacity and the desire to host,
they will announce this to the GRC list serve and explain how they have
capacity, based on the check-list.
3. This will basically be on a first-come first serve basis; the GRC list
serve being the venue to give notice.
As we have seen, KUHS-LP 97.9 FM in Hot Springs AK has announced on the
list serve that they wish to host (see below). Thank you.
Zachary, would you and your colleagues at KUHS be willing to help us
develop these support materials by being the first station to use our
self-audit check list? Of course it will be an imperfect first attempt but
doing this with you will help the process along immensely and help you
clarify things as well.
These are things that can be developed to support the GRC conference
process. We have listed them (below) Your feedback is, of course, welcome:
*- A defined process for deciding on the next GRC host that is clear to all
with an** available guide for all to understand the process*
*- Support documents & start-up funds to help the next host*
*- A web site to use for making GRC documents available (start-up docs and
information from workshops)*
*- Guidelines/code of conduct for inclusiveness and awareness to support
diversity*
*- A check-list for stations to self-audit while deciding whether to host
the conference*

*Request for Proposals: Volunteer Opportunity*
*Alameda Community Radio (KACR) ? Program Direction Intern*
Alameda Community Radio (ACR) was granted a construction permit by the FCC
to build a Low-Power FM radio station in Alameda, California. Soon, Alameda
Community Radio will be broadcasting as KACR at 96.1 FM.
We are looking for a savvy intern (unfortunately unpaid) to curate and
improve our Internet stream for this transitional period. Specifically, we
want someone to explore syndicated audio programming with an emphasis on
compelling public affairs and arts and cultural programming to identify
content that will engage our Alameda audience, isn't repetitively offered
on other accessible outlets, and can help to brand our specific identity
and value to Alamedans as we move toward terrestrial broadcast and the
generation of truly local programming.
*Qualifications: *Some hands-on experience in radio (either community-based
or other radio) is preferred but not necessary, a familiarity or
willingness to research both Bay Area tastes and the specific nature of
Alameda as a distinct community in the region, good awareness of the other
radio offerings in the area, and some knowledge of podcasts and other
available content options.
You will work under the supervision of a seven-member board of directors
that meets in the evening or on Saturday afternoons, and may have to attend
a board meeting occasionally. Otherwise the work schedule is flexible,
although we are looking to upgrade our Internet stream quickly.
*What You Receive:* Working on the creation and operation of a
market/city-specific audio stream is great experience. If the project is
successful and creates a noticeable uptick in listeners, this will provide
valuable resume experience for Internet communications positions. Plus you
get to be a big part of building a new local radio station!
*How To Apply:* Please send a letter with a little bit about you, why you
think you might want to take this on, what previous experience you bring to
the table, and what you think makes an Internet audio stream compelling and
listenable. Send letter to *info at alamedacommunityradio.org

SPOILER ALERT!
Here comes a newbie question.
Is there a way to gather music from friends and colleagues, playlists of music, programmed to replay in the many slots of a 24/7 LPFM station?
That sounded confusing. Let me try it again:
We?re starting an LPFM in my small, rural hometown of Willits, CA. I?m the General Manager for KLLG-KP, 97.9 Mhz. 100 watts.
From the get-go, I want to go on the air filling every hour, 24/7, using automation software (considering Megaseg Pro). So we need lots of music. Of course, as we develop our local programming, we?ll slip our produced shows into one of the 168 slot-hours in the week.
Now I think you know what I want.
Anyone venture to mentor me in this?
Thanks!

Dear Lisa,
Best greetings from rainy Uganda!
Thanks so much for sharing my email/request with people who are involved in
the community media sector as supporters, broadcasters etc.
Hello Community Media Team,
As you might have read from Lisa's forwarded email, I contacted her with my
request after reading through her work that involves community in the
production and presentation of programmes to show commitment to
highlighting their voices and also such work demonstrates new ideas on how
to address socio-economic issues by providing a platform to discover
community opinions, see their perspectives and listen to their stories and
testimonies.
The email that I sent to Lisa and she shared with you is below, I look
forward to hearing from you.
I wish you all the best as you continue to facilitate effective
communication network between community and their stake holders using
multi-media approaches, with no doubt such efforts create greater awareness
of the need for community mainstreaming in development policies and
strategies

Hi Lanny,
Welcome to the airwaves! When will you be ready to broadcast?
I can't help you with automation, but if you are interested in news
content -- I can offer you some programming. Free Speech Radio News
offers burgeoning LPFMs a one-year free subscription that covers all of
our content. Probably best for you is the 29-minute FSRN Weekly
Edition. We just ask that you add our logo to your website and link
back to ours. Check us out at fsrn.org.
After one-year we would reevaluate where you are. Our carriage fees are
based on total station revenue, and are negligible at the low end to
make it possible for small stations to broadcast our content.
We'd love to add you to our station roster and serve your audience.
If you want more info, just hit me up at admin at fsrn.org.
And congrats!
Nell Abram

Hi Lanny,????? Most start-up stations have a "load-in" week. That's where the DJs and volunteers load in whatever music they have on hand. It's a great way for DJs to get to know each other.????? If your limited on crew at the moment, you can start loading in as much as your core-group has. Don't worry if it's only a couple hundred songs. If you use the scheduler initially, that 100 songs can take hours to air and repeat. Most listeners will not listen the same way you or your core group will, so it will work for a good month or so.???? I worked with a full-power station who only wanted immediately local artists...they had about 28 CDs, we loaded them up and ran them randomly for the first 3-4 weeks while I trained the first group of DJs. It worked like a charm.

Lanny,
Remember you'll need to have the copyrights angle covered which you can do by a membership in ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. If you can't afford all three, you may want to just run the music from one of the three.
Streaming rights are a separate issue. When we were trying to figure out if we could afford it, a guy I talked to at SoundExchange hinted that BMI might be a good one to start with.
We now have all three, but only for over-the-air content. We are waiting on the technology that can pull the metadata on each song/composer/performance rights and help us report it before trying to play a full line-up of music online on our stream. Can't tie up our limited volunteers with that tedious task.

Subject: [grc] Program Intern at LPFM
Message-ID:
*Request for Proposals: Volunteer Opportunity*
*Alameda Community Radio (KACR) ? Program Direction Intern*
Alameda Community Radio (ACR) was granted a construction permit by the FCC
to build a Low-Power FM radio station in Alameda, California. Soon, Alameda
Community Radio will be broadcasting as KACR at 96.1 FM.
Alameda Community Radio is has been streaming a sample mix of our shows on
UStream.tv 7 days a week. Our rotation of shows was a variety of programs
including music, conversation, poetry and specialty shows.
We are looking for a savvy intern (unfortunately unpaid) to curate and
improve our Internet stream for this transitional period. Specifically, we
want someone to explore syndicated audio programming with an emphasis on
compelling public affairs and arts and cultural programming to identify
content that will engage our Alameda audience, isn't repetitively offered
on other accessible outlets, and can help to brand our specific identity
and value to Alamedans as we move toward terrestrial broadcast and the
generation of truly local programming.
*Qualifications: *You should have some hands-on experience with community
radio, a familiarity or willingness to research both Bay Area tastes and
the specific nature of Alameda as a distinct community in the region, some
awareness of the other radio offerings in the area, and some knowledge of
podcasts and other available content options.
You will work under the supervision of a seven-member board of directors
that meets in the evening and may have to attend a board meeting
occasionally. Otherwise the work schedule is flexible, although we are
looking to upgrade our Internet stream quickly.
*What You Get Out Of It:* Curating and creating a neighborhood-specific
audio stream is valuable experience and if the project is successful and
creates a noticeable uptick in listeners, should provide valuable resume
experience for Internet communications positions. Plus you get to be a big
part of building a new local radio station!
*How To Apply:* Please send a letter with a little bit about you, why you
think you might want to take this on, what previous experience you bring to
the table, and what you think makes an Internet audio stream compelling and
listenable. Send letter to *i nfo at alamedacommunityradio.org

Subject: [grc] donor databases - questions and resources
Message-ID:
I have some questions for the list about donor databases, and some links
that all of you may find useful.
At KHOI we're trying to settle on which product to use for our donor
database. We've previously used Giftworks, but its pricing model change has
made it unaffordable for us (and it looks like there are many interesting
and cheaper options out there). We do our accounting in Quickbooks, but
that's not adequate for keeping track of donations, premiums, membership
levels, generating letters, entering data from pledge drives and
fundraising events efficiently, recording prospective donors etc. in the
way that we'd like to.
*What are you using? I'm particularly interested in knowing why (other than
cost) you decided to use what you do. If you switched from another product,
what (other than cost) led you to switch? Are there features you wished
your product had?*
My research has turned up some really nice resources online for answering
these questions, but they don't really address many issues specific to
radio.
FYI, here are the most useful resources I've found. I hope you will find
these useful too!

because of how detailed the reviews are)

GALAXY PHONES EQUIPPED WITH NEXTRADIO
By Radio Ink [1] -
March 14, 2016The Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge smartphones have just hit the
market and they are fully equipped with NextRadio. These first two phones
are the beginning of the FM Chip-enabled mobile phones that will be
available this year. NextRadio President Paul Brenner said, ?We are
excited that the number of Android phones with FM radio continues to
accelerate rapidly. The launch of the new Galaxy phones is a perfect start
to 2016 since these phones are getting rave reviews and will be a top
seller to millions of users who can now listen to free radio on their
phone.?

I will not bore the list with "our" history, nor share those details as you shared with a complete stranger.For anyone who has been contacted by Tanya, please save and forward the e-mail to me.

LPFM stations are not required to file ownership reports (at this

73.801 has a list of rules outside of 73.8xx that also apply to LPFM

Subject: [ncramembers] NCRA's FM Chip Activation National Campaign
Announcement
To: NCRA Members
Hello Members
I have some very exciting news. The NCRA is about to lead a nation-wide
campaign to pressure major telecoms (Rogers, Bell, Telus etc) and
manufacturers to turn on what is called an "fm chip", which is installed on
most smartphones already but not active (some phones have this enabled
already). These organizations want to keep these chips disabled because
they make money off of data use, whereas the FM chips don?t require data.
The sector is interested in turning them on because it opens up more
listening opportunities for people to hear FM radio (among other benefits,
such as saves battery life when listening to music on the go, allows for
emergency broadcasting alerts to be reached etc).
We have teamed up with a software developer in the United States called
NextRadio, who helped launch the *US website* http://freeradioonmyphone.org/.
The NCRA will be launching a Canadian equivalent, recruiting partner
organizations to get listeners and the general public to write, call, and
petition these telecoms (and the CRTC) to turn on the FM Chip. We have
already signed an agreement with the CBC network, to which they will be
supporting our campaign. Additionally, we will be connecting with various
commercial and broadcast associations along the way who will support the
project -- an amazing outreach opportunity as well to make new connections.
What does this mean for NCRA Stations and supporting the campaign?
We hope that our stations will aggressively support this process. Within
the next two to three weeks, we expect to have the website live with a full
marketing campaign including PSAs, web banners and social media posts
promoting turning the FM Chip on. At this time, we encourage our member
stations to get behind the campaign and share/promote the marketing
material, talk about the importance of this and champion the project.
There will be much more information coming shortly on when we launch so
do not worry.
Additionally, there may be some unique marketing and outreach opportunities
for our member stations who wish to engage with NextRadio and their add-on
app "TagStation" around advertising and listener numbers. We are
negotiating with the companies right now for a solution that will fit our
member needs.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me or reply if it is
something that you believe the rest of the network would like to hear an
answer on, and I will do my best to reply.
This is a very exciting opportunity for our sector to gain additional
exposure, connections, funding opportunities and listeners as we take a
lead in something the commercial and public sector wishes they could do.

Subject: [grc] LPFM Summit Planning Calls
Message-ID:
Hey People Who Love Love Community Media (sorry for cross postings - many
of y'all are on the same lists),
Let's the ball rolling on planning a national LPFM Summit ?Wednesday, June
8th, at NFCB's 40th ?Annual Community Media Conference in Denver. I have
agreed to coordinate the summit and folks from Radio 4 People Coalition and
Prometheus have already stepped forward to pitch in.
Let?s make this an ?of, by, and for? summit starting with a couple
conference calls to discuss what you want and what you?re game to give.
While we?re at it - whether you?re coming to Denver or not - let?s map
elements of a collective effort for LPFMs to get the support they need and
how they can support each other. What does that look like, what is needed,
who can do what, and what steps can come out of the summit to make it
happen? How can this dovetail with what will be happening at the Grassroots
Radio Conference (has that been decided on? Alabama?) and the Alliance for
Community Media Conference in August? All the things.
Some initial ideas I?ve heard:
- 1:1 free coaching/consulting time with experts
- Quick 3 minute talks on what you?re doing at your stations
- Time for you to get to know each other
- History of LPFM and what?s going on in community media nationally
Conference Call #1:
Wednesday, March 30th
10 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Mountain / 12 p.m. Central / 1 p.m. Eastern
Conference Call #2:
Thursday, March 31st
1 p.m. Pacific / 2 p.m. Mountain / 3 p.m. Central / 4 p.m. Eastern
Call in number:
1 (712) 775-7031
Meeting ID: 992-062-986
Meanwhile, if you are looking to connect with support, sign up for the
Stubblefield discussion list hosted by Prometheus Radio Project. Their
description of members: "LPFM station owners and operators, DJs, Community
Radio and Media activists, and many other folks."

I'm hoping that one of your staions and/or producers is covering the march

a budget, but I'd love to work out a barter arrangement for news coming out
of the Boston area.

I have been buried in work elsewhere but was able to return to the GRC list

As we know, these email threads things happen.
However, at a certain point it crosses a line. I was in Palenville and saw
the huge level of work and service and expertise freely being offered by
Donna, to help get last year's GRC off the ground.
As far as I see it, we don't throw those who serve under the bus in our
community, so I want to say here, I love Donna as a friend and co-worker, I
respect her expertise and the work she does for community radio and her
generosity and appreciate all she did to get KHOI started here in Iowa.
Love ya, Donna

Subject: [ncramembers] CMDS publishes report on online community media
archiving
To: "ncramembers at ncra.ca"
Hello--
Some stations may wish to review the CMDS report (below) in comparison to
their own practices. Assessing, standardizing, and innovating archiving
practices in our sector is needed. Would be great to compile a similar
report in Canada.
--gretchen
The Center for Media, Data and Society at the CEU
School of Public Policy is happy to announce the
publication of the CAPTCHA project `s final
report on online community media archiving.
*CMDS publishes report on online community media archiving*
CMDS produced a research report, authored by Joost van Beek
with contributions from Kate Coyer
, which explores some of the challenges,
obstacles, opportunities and prospects for online community media
archiving. It highlights best practices and lessons learned that can be
used to help improve the ways programming is shared, exchanged, and
archived online. *The report is available **here*
*.* The report is the result of research carried out in the framework of
the CAPTCHA project . The project was a
partnership of three community media organizations (Radio Corax, Germany;
the Near Media Co-op, Ireland; Radio FRO, Austria) and the Center for
Media, Data and Society and ran from September 2013 to August 2015. It was
supported by the Culture Programme of the European Union and it aimed to
empower community media and program makers to increase the online
accessibility of their programs.
