Rebellious Media Conference, London, 8-9 October 2011

http://rebelliousmediaconference.org/

Frustrated with the mainstream media’s coverage of war, climate change and the economy, or already making your own media?

Interested in acquiring new skills or finding out more about exciting radical media projects from around the world?

Want to join the resistance to the corporate takeover of the internet, or discuss how we can harness the digital revolution to help bring about radical social change?

THIS CONFERENCE IS FOR YOU! The Rebellious Media Conference, a major event to take place in Central London on 8-9 October 2011, is being organised by a committee that includes Peace News, Ceasefire magazine, New Internationalist, Red Pepper, Undercurrents and visionOntv.

This gathering will have three main purposes: - to showcase inspiring examples of radical media practice; - to further develop radical critiques of the mainstream media; - to enable activists, journalists and students to engage in training and skillsharing.

The Rebellious Media Conference (RMC) is also: - an opportunity for dialogue between radical media and mainstream media; - for radical media groups to come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing us, particularly in relation to the digital revolution.

The intention is to capture as much as possible of the RMC and to make it available on the web, and for there to be ongoing projects coming out of the RMC. We have already approached a few major figures in radical media, who have confirmed their interest in participating, including Michael Albert (coordinator of the world’s largest radical website, ZNet), radical documentary film maker John Pilger, Jessica Azulay (formerly of The New Standard), and renowned media scholar Robert McChesney (who will be participating remotely, from Illinois).

We are currently drafting the programme for the Conference, which will comprise roughly fifty small (<30 people) workshops, and eight larger (100+) sessions, and we would very much appreciate any ideas and suggestions that you might have.

Specifically, for each of the five topics below we would like to know: (a) what sessions you would like to see take place during the RMC; and (b) the names and contact details of people or organisations you think might be able to help facilitate these sessions:

(1) Inspiring radical media projects or initiatives (2) Radical critiques of the mainstream media (3) Training and skillsharing (4) Dialogue with the mainstream media (5) Radical media & the digital revolution

Please send your ideas and suggestions to us by email or phone us on 0780 114 0192 (Emma) or 0845 458 2564 (Gabriel). If you would like to submit a detailed idea for a session then please use the “RMC Workshop Proposal Form”. The latter can be e-mailed to us at rebelliousmediaconference [at] riseup [dot] net or posted to Rebellious Media Conference, c/o Peace News, 5 Caledonian Rd, London N1 9DX.

Speakers confirmed so far include:

* Michael Albert, coordinator of the world’s largest radical website, ZNet * John Pilger, radical documentary film maker * Jessica Azulay, formerly of The New Standard * Robert McChesney, renowned media scholar

If you would like to volunteer to help organise this event then please send your e-mail address and phone number to bek [at] brokenplastic.org.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

New Book: Media and Participation. A site of ideological-democratic struggle

By Nico Carpentier

http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/books/view-Book,id=4744/

Intellect ISBN 9781841504070

405 pages

Short Description Participation has become fashionable again, but at the same time it has always played a crucial role in our contemporary societies, and it has been omnipresent in a surprisingly large number of societal fields. In the case of the media sphere, the present-day media conjuncture is now considered to be the most participatory ever, but media participation has had a long and intense history. To deal with these paradoxes, this book looks at participation as a structurally unstable concept and as the object of a political-ideological struggle that makes it oscillate between minimalist and maximalist versions. This struggle is analysed in theoretical reflections in five fields (democracy, arts, development, spatial planning and media) and in eight different cases of media practice. Among the case studies are the first interactive film, reality-tv and audience discussion programmes, community radio stations, an alternative radio exchange database and a series of vlogs and online video films. These case studies also show participation's close connection to power, identity, organization, technology and quality.

First community radio on air -- Lokobetar's test run starts in Barguna

The Daily Star, 31 May 2011 http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=187959

The country's first community radio named Lokobetar has begun test transmission in the district town of Barguna to build public opinion on development issues like democracy, good governance, human rights, anti-corruption, health and women empowerment.

Mass-Line Media Centre (MMC), a development organisation, with financial and technical support from Unesco, set up the radio station, which has been on trial since May 27 and is expected to go for full-fledged transmission by mid-June.

MMC officials will operate the radio while local community will star in the programmes.

Tarek Mahmud, acting head of Lokobetar, said the radio equipment costs stand at about Tk 10 lakh.

The radio now broadcasts programmes for an hour daily, which would be increased gradually, said MMC officials.

Musical programmes are being transmitted with some social messages on issues such as public health, education, women oppression, child marriage, and dowry. Weather and agriculture news are also on the list.

In 1998 MMC applied to the information ministry asking for licence for community radio. The government provided 14 licences in April last year.

About 17 kilometers circle of Barguna town will get the FM 99.2 radio frequency of Lokobetar while 12 lakh people have been targeted. The programme can be listened on radio set or mobile handset. Although the radio has been on test run, the operator has yet to set up a 100-feet high antenna structure. Rather, the antenna has been set up on the rooftop of a house.

"So the targeted group will not receive the signal at the moment. The studio is also yet to be built," said Mahmud.

Nyma Nargis, project officer (communication and information) of Unesco, said, "We believe community radio will play a successful role in creating mass awareness on issues such as democracy, good governance, human rights, anti-corruption movement, health, environment, women empowerment, gender, youth and child rights, and non-formal education."

She said communities would be better prepared to accept the radio station and interested to engage in the activities related to community radio programming.

Unesco Dhaka office initially provided two community radio stations. The Centre for Communication and Development (CCD), a Rajshahi-based media organisation, will operate the other radio station that would come into transmission soon.

The government has a plan to establish a community radio on agriculture information services in Barguna. [Thanks to George Lessard for the link]
