We?re writing today with some exciting announcements. Journalism That Matters has received a grant for $150,000 to seed media innovations in southeast Ohio communities that lack local information. Using community engagement practices developed from the Journalism That Matters Framework , we will build the news and information capacity of the region. We?ll be working in partnership with the Jefferson Center to address the opioid crisis in Ohio. The Media Seeds project is unfolding: http://mediaseeds.wikispaces.com . Dr. Michelle Ferrier, the immediate past president of Journalism That Matters, is the project director. The Gather public engagement platform, which Journalism That Matters has worked to inform and which comes out of the Experience Engagement and Elevate Engagement gatherings, has launched. Gather is a place to share information on who we are and what we?re doing in community engagement and journalism. Get your invitation to Gather here . To shepherd in these exciting changes, Ashley Alvarado of KPCC/Southern California Public Radio has taken on the board president role for Journalism That Matters. Many of you know Ashley because she already practices what she preaches. We are so excited to usher in Ashley's leadership of Journalism That Matters. We hope you will join Ashley and Journalism That Matters on Gather and follow along with the Media Seeds project. Stay tuned for further possible developments for Journalism That Matters and in your own work and please stay in touch as we all work toward a healthy civic communications ecosystem.

Instead of an mp3. This was no doubt an accident when I exported it from Audacity; I'd never even noticed an mp2 file option but I must have accidentally clicked on it. Is there a way to replace the file without doing the whole upload over? If so I can replace it readily, but otherwise it will take me a day or two because I'm working on my piece about this for the Black Agenda Report. As I'm writing there, the injustice of the ICC is as stark as slavery and South African apartheid. It's a Western court that prosecutes Africans. This is a list of individuals the court has indicted, minus one from Mali because he's newly indicted and I don't have his name yet: - 2.1Bahr Abu Garda Darfur, Sudan - 2.2Mohammed Ali Kenya - 2.3Abdallah Banda Darfur, Sudan - 2.4Omar al-Bashir Darfur, Sudan - 2.5Jean-Pierre Bemba Central African Republic - 2.6Charles Bl?

[image: http://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2017/02/18758332819_ec35b6faf8_z-629x420.jpg] *Radio Bundelkhand, based in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, has about 250,000 listeners, of whom 99 percent are farmers. Credit: Stella Paul/IPS* *UNITED NATIONS, Feb 13 2017 (IPS) *- With less than half the world?s population online, radio continues to be world?s most widely accessible source of news and information. For many of the 5 billion people who have access to a radio ? it is also a form of social media ? with talk radio giving people a chance to participate live on-air. Martin Scott, Lecturer in Media and International Development at the University of East Anglia told IPS that this social aspect of radio is often over-looked. ?You can have ongoing live discussion on (the radio),? says Scott. ?In a newspaper that?s far more difficult, it?s easier to be participatory on radio.? Scott says that there are many advantages to having live discussions on the air. ?If you want the decision making to be transparent, if you want multiple perspectives to be taken account of, if you want the disadvantaged to be actively helped, engaged in the process, then participatory communication is vital to achieving those things and radio is a medium that often but not always lends itself to doing those things,? he said. In fact, some 75 percent of households in developing countries have access to a radio compared to just 40 percent, which have access to the internet, according to figures from the UN?s International Telecommunications Union and UNESCO. As Scott points out radio?s are cheap and have no ongoing running costs, unlike the internet. But there?s more reason why radio is more widely accessible than the internet, especially for people who are disadvantaged. Radio can be broadcast in many different dialects, it is a source of information for the one billion people worldwide who are illiterate, as well as for people who are visually impaired. It can also reach people living in remote areas where even mobile internet is not yet available. The sharp rise in mobile phone ownership in developing countries has not only led more people to get online, it has also resulted in more people having access to radios, since mobile phones sold in developing countries often come with in-built radios. Meanwhile, as Scott points out, the world wide web does not necessarily signal the death of radio, as many people now listen to radio shows and podcasts online.

Credit: Jenny Cartagena/IPS* And while the internet has led to a significant expansion in who can publish and share news ? Scott noted that it shouldn?t necessarily be presumed that the internet is more widely accessible than radio. Not everybody has the time, literacy, mobile phones or electricity needed to be on Twitter he said, whereas a radio can simply be powered with batteries or even wound-up by hand. However ensuring that both radio and the internet remain open to as many people as possible means that it is also important to pay attention to how these mediums are governed, says Scott. ?Facebook.org protests on the streets in India and Egypt rightly or wrongly illustrate that governance of new technologies is crucial,? said Scott, referring to protests over a plan to bring affordable internet to developing countries based on access to only a limited number of websites. The plan has been described as a ?walled garden? and is considered to go against the principles of the founders of the world wide web, who wished for it to remain open. Historically the number of radio channels has often been restricted by the frequencies and licenses available to go with them. However, while digital radio offers the opportunity to expand the number of radio stations, Scott also cautions that the transition from am/fm to digital should be carefully managed. Radio NZ recently reported that thousands of people living in the Solomon Islands lost access to radio at the end of January when the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) switched off its AM signal, in favour of FM and online services. Ruth Liloqula, told Radio NZ that after a recent earthquake some people living in remote parts of the Solomon Islands only knew that there was no tsunami because they heard it on ABC radio. ________________________________ - To unsubscribe, send a new email addressed to: imail at lists.wunrn.com, with the message: unsubscribe WUNRN_LISTSERVE - To contact the list's administrator, send an email addressed to: WUNRN_LISTSERVE-owner at lists.wunrn.com -- Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service www.wings.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If sold or swapped, it would never be recovered, and it could be swapped again or sold to those who represent the opposite of every Pacifica value. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to lose 99.5FM which has the capacity to reach an 80 mile radius. There are alternatives to satisfying WBAI?s current debt and there is an exciting new business model for sustaining WBAI going forward, which has everything to do with being able to pay off our immediate debt as well. Joining in partnership with Manhattan Neighborhood Network, public access television in A Public Service Operating Agreement is the chance of a lifetime to save our venerable institution and promises a dramatic leap forward into the digital realm of the 21st century. Please sign the petition referenced below to demand that Pacifica STOP the Swap/Sale of WBAI?s signal consider other viable alternatives for WBAI to broadcast its message of peace and justice for decades to come. *For more information and to sign this petition go to:* *https://www.change.org/p/pacifica-national-board-pacifica-national-board-do-not-sell-or-swap-wbai-s-99-5-fm-signal* -- Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service www.wings.org From cmcb007 at earthlink.net Tue Nov 21 01:54:34 2017 From: cmcb007 at earthlink.net (Carolyn Birden) Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 04:54:34 -0500 Subject: [grc] NO PSOA Re: Fwd: Do Not Sell or Swap WBAI's 99.5 FM Signal In-Reply-To: References: <968F057437F04D4A9E9E8BB14BEECFD9@your96fc0aa548> Message-ID: <5D14B913-1A6C-455E-87A0-EC4AD69AC4CE@earthlink.net> There is no description of this ?partnership? that would supposedly keep WBAI intact.
