Challenges for Community Radio in India's Rural Development

Challenges for Community Radio in India's Rural Development

blogs.worldbank.org –

India’s 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017) talks of challenges emanating from the economy’s transition to a higher growth path, the structural changes that come with it and the expectations it generates. These parameters are more critical for an estimated 833 million people in India who continue to live in rural areas and a very large proportion of whom, both men and women, are either wholly or significantly still dependent for their livelihood on farm as well as non-farm activities.

Open data platforms: A tool to revolutionise governance

Open data platforms: A tool to revolutionise governance

jaynaidoo.org –

Citizens always know better than the government or the market what works for them. The question is whether our political elites are prepared to listen; from the excessive expenditure on consultants and websites to wasteful use of public funds on the homes of elected office bearers to entertainment and security of state officials; we see all too often these genuine grievances of citizens reduced to the neo-liberal forces, a hostile white media and even stranger, counter-revolutionary forces more...

Nazi Soundscapes: Sound, Technology and Urban Space in Germany, 1933-1945

Nazi Soundscapes: Sound, Technology and Urban Space in Germany, 1933-1945

Following the formation of the German National Socialist Party in the 1920s, various forms of sound (popular music, voice, noise andsilence) and media technology (radio and loudspeaker systems) were configured as useful to the party's political programme. Focusing on the urban "soundscape" of Düsseldorf, the author makes a persuasive case for investigating such sound events and technological devices in their specific contexts of production and reception. Nazi Soundscapes identifies strategies more...

The Burmese Spring

The Burmese Spring

This report is about the rapid progress that freedom of information has made in Burma, but also about the limits of this progress and the dangers it faces. The international community is witnessing an unprecedented democratic transition in this Southeast Asian country after half a century of military dictatorship. But, as things stand, the possibility of the reforms being perverted cannot be ruled out.

Sunlight Disinfects? Free Media in Weak Democracies

Sunlight Disinfects? Free Media in Weak Democracies

economia.uniandes.edu.co –

Free media may not favor political accountability when other democratic institutions are weak, and may even bring undesirable unintended consequences. We propose a simple model in which politicians running for office may engage in coercion to obtain votes. A media scandal that exposes these candidates increases their coercion effort to offset the negative popularity shock. This may result in the tainted politicians actually increasing their vote share. We provide empirical evidence from one more...

How human-centered design thinking can transform community media

How human-centered design thinking can transform community media

knightfoundation.org –

As you take on new projects to reach out to your community, seek out insight from your users. But don’t ask them, observe them. If you ask people what they want, you get what they think they want. For example, when radio stations survey audiences, people tend to say they listen to classical music when they’re alone. But classical music stations know that audiences aren’t tuning in en masse. To understand people, go spend time with them and get to know them deeply. Community leaders often more...
