[FoME] UNESCO: Community media good practice handbook / Erster "Weltradiotag"

[Christoph Dietz]

1. Community media: a good practice handbook. Paris: UNESCO, 2011

This is a collection of case studies of good practice in community
media. Its intention is to provide inspiration and support for those
engaged in community media advocacy and to raise awareness and
understanding of community media among policy makers and other
stakeholders. The collection is focused on electronic media including
radio, television, Internet and mobile. It is global in spread, with
examples from 30 countries, but primarily drawn from developing
countries. This has the additional consequence that radio is predominant
in view of its extensive presence today in developing country media
environments and its reach into rural as well as urban communities.

2. 13 February is a date proclaimed by UNESCO to celebrate radio
broadcast, improve international cooperation among radio broadcasters
and encourage decision-makers to create and provide access to
information through radio, including community radios. It’s an
occasion to draw attention to the unique value of radio, which remains
the medium to reach the widest audience and is currently taking up new
technological forms and devices.

UNESCO encourages all countries to celebrate this day by undertaking
activities with diverse partners, such as national, regional and
international broadcasting associations and organizations,
non-governmental organizations, media organizations, outlets as well as
the public at large. Check below all resources being made available for
