The representatives of international broadcasters - BBC World Service, Deutsche
Welle, Radio France Internationale, Radio Netherlands Worldwide and the Voice
of America ? who met in Paris on Thursday , recognized the important
contribution the Declaration has made to promoting a better-informed world.
The meeting, at Radio France Internationale, noted the importance of Article 19
of the Declaration, which states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion
and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without
interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any
media and regardless of frontiers."
They said that their organizations must continue to maintain the highest
journalistic standards of accuracy, objectivity and truth in upholding the
Declaration.
They noted that some governments have been implicated in harassing, detaining,
expelling, threatening or - in extreme cases - killing journalists, committed
as they are to freedom and information. They also expressed, with regret, the
efforts by some governments to contravene the Declaration by interfering with
international broadcasts through deliberate blocking of transmitters
("jamming") and blocking of websites.
The broadcasters underlined the continued determination of their broadcast
organizations to overcome these obstacles in order to reach the largest
possible audiences worldwide, through traditional means - radio and television
- as well as the Internet and other emerging digital media.
These new media, they noted, offer unprecedented opportunities for interaction
across national borders and between diverse groups of people, in keeping with
the spirit of the Declaration, which enshrines the right to "receive and impart
information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
Alain de Pouzilhac, CEO of Radio France Internationale said "Our meeting in
Paris was very constructive and I am delighted that the five major
international broadcasters share the same desire to broadcast objective and
impartial news broadcasts to all publics."
The Voice of America, which first went on the air in 1942, is a multimedia
international broadcasting service funded by the U.S. government through the
Broadcasting Board of Governors. VOA broadcasts approximately 1,500 hours of
news, information, educational, and cultural programming every week to an
estimated worldwide audience of more than 134 million people. Programs are
produced in 45 languages.

In case you didn't see this recent newsletter, here it is again! Many
thanks to those who've already responded with updates for the PAL
Radio Guides, book orders and donations towards our radio heritage
work. If you also get more than one copy, please bear with us, we
manually maintain our mailing lists! Happy Holidays!

Bangkok Crisis
______________
If you were one of hundreds of thousands of tourists stuck in
Bangkok in the past few weeks, and told to listen to local radio to
stay informed, how would you know where to find a station with
programs in other than Thai? Our PAL AM Radio Guide would have
directed you to 918 AM for English, French, Chinese and Japanese
programs including hourly BBC News.
Just one of the benefits of using one of the free radio guide
services at our website www.radioheritage.net, and one we know we
have to upgrade in 2009 with the addition of our much delayed PAL FM
Radio Guide.
Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, coups, riots, terrorists and
civil disturbance are all possible in the region, making it so
important to know where to quickly find a local radio station with
information in English that could save your life.
_____________________________________________________________
Yes we can upgrade our radio guides. Here's how you can help!
_____________________________________________________________
Can we do more to improve our PAL Radio Guides? Yes, we
can! Can you help us? Yes, you can!
Here's how....email us if you find out of date or plain
wrong data in our guides, tell us of new stations and programs
in non-local languages for visitors and foreign residents,
and make a donation to help us upgrade our guides in 2009.
Hello, I'm David Ricquish from the Radio Heritage
Foundation, and I'd like to tell you a little about what's
shaping up for 2009, and how you too can get involved to
celebrate our radio heritage!
Thanks for helping in 2008
__________________________
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for helping to find a way to
keep radio heritage safe, alive and interesting in 2008. Some radio
stations have already picked up our 'Ten Top Ways to Save Your
Station' tips and we'll make this program more widely available in
2009!
Secondly, a special thanks to those who buy books, CDs and
merchandise from us, and who have made donations in 2008. We have a
very small budget, in fact our income in the year ended March 31 2008
was just US$3774.
It goes nowhere near our basic running costs, and I can
assure you, even a quarter a day from each of you in 2009 would
help us upgrade our services and keep our bank manager from looking
too closely at our credit line!

Would you like to make a donation today? You can use your VISA
or Mastercard at the donation button on every page of
www.radioheritage.net and I can also assure you that 100 cents of
every dollar goes straight into protecting radio heritage.
Popular Culture
_______________
During 2008, we've been working behind the scenes to redesign
how we tell the stories of radio, people, events, music and places
within the bigger picture of popular culture.
A bit like Wikipedia, you'll see we have some 'stubs' or
introductory articles online about the radio dial in Australia 1931,
California 1928, Shanghai 1941, New Zealand 1931 and 1978. If you
haven't been to the site lately, go to www.radioheritage.net, look at
them and then email us to tell us what you think of them.
___________________________
'Expanding 'stubs' in 2009'
___________________________
The idea is that these will expand to cover other places and
periods, introducing even more stations on the radio dial. In 2009,
we're looking to build a volunteer team that will begin to expand
these 'stubs' even further, unpeeling more layers of radio and
popular culture for us all to enjoy.
Have you seen our Art of Radio series? Currently we've got
three similar 'stubs' covering Australia and New Zealand, Japan and
Hawaii. These are scheduled to finally expand in 2009 and have the
capacity to move offline into real exhibitions such as already
successfully tested with the Art of Radio Japan Exhibition.
________________________________
'We want to commission articles'
________________________________
Will you help us in 2009? We already have a number of people
standing by to work on several of these projects, but we need more.
If you can volunteer research and write about the links between radio
and popular culture, we want to commission articles from you.
Radio Archives
______________
You can see that we're more than just another radio 'archives'
locked into the past! It's still vital though to collect the audio,
images, art work and stories and we've been doing a lot of that this
year.
Major new collections have added many thousands of new items
and we're about to start a major cataloging and digitizing project in
2009. Our funding applications for this will be lodged in early 2009.
Our new software lets you upload and send your own materials
directly into our new database. Other archives and libraries will
partner us in this exciting move which finally unlocks their radio
heritage collections too! We'll let you know when you can start
uploading your own content.
____________________________________
'Radio stations can also safely store
their audio archives with us too!'
____________________________________
As you can see, behind the scenes, it's been a busy year, and
before I leave you for 2008, here're some things you probably didn't
know about us:
1. We're now registered with the Charities Commission [New
Zealand CC25951] and you can see our registration at
www.charities.govt.nz. Each year, we'll be lodging an annual report
including our latest accounts.
Registration as a non-profit in Australia and the USA is under
consideration so that donations can be tax deductable as they are in
New Zealand.
2 We produce regular radio heritage documentaries for broadcast
over Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com] and during 2008,
produced nearly 90 minutes of special programs for their 60th
anniversary celebrations.
3 During the year, NZ On Air, funder of public broadcasting in
New Zealand invited us to tender as an approved archive for the
management contract to manage their national Sound Archives which
have until now been run only by Radio New Zealand. Work continues in
this area.
4. Our Kiwi Radio Campaign has been tested now for a full year,
and has resulted in discoveries of many thousands of new audio and
other items, help with a major social history radio exhibition with
Te Manawa Museum in Palmerston North, plans for three major regional
radio retrospective exhibitions in 2009 and much more.
The campaign is designed for local versions to be rolled out
in Australia, California and Japan before 2015.
5. We produce the entire Pacific region content of radio
broadcasting data for the UK based annual radio guide World Radio TV
Handbook [www.wrth.com] published since 1948. This involves data from
over 25 separate countries!
