[FoME] Important: Regarding Strengthening Community Radio sector for adapting challenges in the era of Fourth Industrial Revolution

[AHM Bazlur Rahman]

*Dear  Madam/Sir, *

Hope you are doing well.

I would like to inform you that we have entered in a new generation of
technologies namely the fourth Industrial revolution (4thIR). This new
generation of new technologies advancements is merging our physical,
digital and bio-logical worlds unlike any time before. This is a huge
transformation for the world including Bangladesh and again a big challenge
for us as well.

This transformation is a place where there are unbelievable uncertainty
transition and controversy. This transformation will change the
relationship between individuals to individuals, governments to governments
and institutions to institutions that will affect the global national and
local system of governance system and way of living.

The shaping of the future of the media, information and entertainment world
will also be a new phenomenon in the era of the fourth industrial
revolution (4thIR). This new form can’t be untouched our community radio.
So the question is what will be the impact of the fourth industrial
revolution in our community radio and how community radio will survive?

Community Radio has to face new challenges in the era of the 4th Industrial
revolution. Meanwhile, the effect has been started on the Community Radios.
Day by day the numbers of listeners are decreasing. The listeners are
interested in video contents. Next 2 or 3 years the listeners will be
interested to watch video contents with increasing 95 percent instead of
audio content. 5G is prevailing in the country. Digital broadcasting has to
be undertaken for Community Radio.

The rural community will mostly be affected by the 4th Industrial
revolution. Due to technological development, the employment opportunity in
the agricultural sector will be reduced gradually and there will be a
change in the production system.  Under these circumstances, the Community
Radios will have to think and broadcast programs for increasing education,
creativity, and new skills of the listeners and upgrading their skills
which apply to the modern age.

We believe that for increasing participatory education, creativity and
skills of the rural community online Community Television will be
established side by side Community Radio for addressing the fourth
industrial revolution. Community Radio will help to online Community
Television and online television will help to Community Radio.

For addressing the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution we should
realize the issue in a justified manner for the existence of the
broadcasting of Community Radio is essential. Side by side we should adapt
to the issue and welcome fourth industrial revolution.

*Steps to be taken and seek your attention;*

*a. Immediately start for online Community Television side by side of
Community Radio*

*b. Immediate action for internet-based broadcasting of Community Radio and
live broadcasting of community radio through internet & through Facebook,
Twitter, and YouTube. Provide training for all Community broadcasters for
re-skilling and up-grading of their knowledge, skills, and attitude.*

*c. Importance should be given on Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) related education for the broadcasting of Community
Radio.*

*d. Appoint a full-time Producer for collection and broadcasting of
advertisement for Community Radio and Online Community Television.  *

*e. Ensure and increasing of participation of the listeners of all walks of
life including multi-generation reaches through multi-media presence.*



*I solicit your special  cooperation for strengthening Community Radio
Broadcasting sector for adapting challenges in the era of Fourth Industrial
Revolution with new ideas and advice!*

With best regards, Esteem,



*Bazlu *
