Press Release
3CR - Uncensored and Outspoken!
Free from corporate sponsorship and government control, 3CR brings the
community social justice radio with integrity.
They have tried to sue us, investigate us and to keep us quiet. 3CR
prevails because we are the Uncensored and Outspoken voice of the
community. 3CR continues to demonstrate its independence in a world of
restricted media ownership and content dictated by market values. Unlike
the information provided by mainstream media, 3CR broadcasts stories from
real people's lives and their issues. With hundreds of community groups
putting their views on 3CR - Kooris, women, environmentalists, community
language groups, social justice groups, trade unions, lesbians and gay
groups, community arts, alternative and local musicians, 3CR remains
committed to the voice of true media diversity.=20
3CR's current affairs programming covers issues of local and global
concern. Typical of the issues that 3CR has covered over the last 12
months have been the unique focus on the liberation struggle of East Timor.
With nearly 12 years of East Timor programs we were uniquely placed to
understand, hear and report first hand, the destruction of East Timor by
the retreating Indonesian army and militias. Locally 3CR has committed
itself to provide access for the Aboriginal community. With strong support
and ownership, programs like Not Another Koori Show, Songlines, Koori
Survival Show, Ilbijerri Chat, Stonefree and Mangrook are a proud part of
3CR's community access broadcasting.
3CR is also proud of our fearless coverage of prison issues including the
privatisation of prisons and the scandalous use of immigration detention
centres. 3CR's commitment to the voice of the community is reflected in
the extension of our prison issue program Doin' Time to an hour after the
station received a petition from Women prisoners at the Metropolitan
Women's Correctional Centre.
3CR is independent, community owned and controlled, with progressive views
unfettered by the demands of commercial or government sponsors. 3CR relies
on the support of the community and our 400 volunteers to keep us on air.
To stay alive and independent we are celebrating 3CR's Uncensored and
Outspoken Radiothon from June 12th - 18th.

continue.
