Radio Veritas Asia honours listener-turned-volunteer
http://www.theindiancatholic.com/newsread.asp?nid=7735
BANGKOK (UCAN) -- Nelly Nicholas, the recipient of an award from 
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), is coaching her daughter to follow in her 
footsteps.

Nicholas, 35, was awarded a certificate and a free trip to the Philippines 
in recognition of 27 years as a listener to RVA's Myanmar language 
service and as a volunteer working to help other listeners. Her 
daughter, Gloria Diana, just two-and-a-half years old, is listed by the 
Asian bishops' shortwave radio station as the youngest listener of the 
Myanmar Service.

Nicholas received her award on May 25 at the RVA office in Quezon 
City, northeast of Manila, during a celebration of the Catholic Church's 
44th World Communications Day.

Because of her sacrifices and dedication to the Myanmar Service, 
Father Gabriel Htun Myint, former Myanmar Service coordinator, and 
Father Dominic Jo Du, present coordinator, paid for her air ticket to visit 
the Philippines.

Father Htun Myint, speaking to UCA News in Bangkok, said he greatly 
appreciates Nicholas' perseverance and attachment to RVA, a radio 
station she loves, cherishes and is dedicated to. He said they had 
arranged for her to visit during May and June to see how the radio 
station works.

According to the priest, Nicholas is helping make some programs 
alongside Marlar Thein Hto, one of the producers of the Myanmar 
Service, who herself celebrated 25 years of service in 2006.

Being a radio lover, Nelly finds no difficulty speaking on the programs, 
Father Htun Myint said. She is a natural.

Thein Hto said in an e-mail message: I can't believe that once upon a 
time this little girl, who was my listener, is now sitting beside me 
recording some of my programs, such as Mail Box, Pen Pal, Health and 
Woman's Program.

She told UCA News that Nicholas started listening to the Myanmar 
Service in Yangon archdiocese when she was only 8. Her parents, who 
are Telugu by birth, but residing in Myanmar, introduced her to 
Myanmar radio programs to help her with the language. The Telugu are 
largely based in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

Thein Hto explained: She not only listened to our programs, she also 
wrote letters to me and I was very happy and surprised to read letters 
from an 8-year-old girl. She was so attached to Myanmar Service 
programs that when she was a teenager, she volunteered to work in 
our Yangon office, where she has been in charge of listener relations.

The producer said Nicholas sorts through letters and forwards useful 
articles for the service to use in programs. She sacrifices her time and 
effort for us, so our listeners do not have to pay expensive postage fees 
in writing directly to Manila and we are able to receive more letters, 
Thein Hto added.

Nicholas was a volunteer with the Myanmar Service for more than 10 
years before she attended an RVA Radio Production Seminar in 
Yangon in 1995. Only in 1998 did she begin receiving a token 5,000 
kyat per month, the producer said. Kyat trade at a street rate of about 
1,000 to US$1.

According to Thein Hto, Nicholas has planted the seed of the next 
generation of listeners by introducing her daughter to the Myanmar 
Service.

RVA, run by the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences, celebrated 
its 38th anniversary in April. It broadcasts in 17 languages and reaches 
much of Asia including parts of Central and West Asia. Myanmar 
Service broadcasts are produced in four languages -- the national 
Myanmar language, Kachin, Kayin and Zomi-Chin, a tribal language 
spoken in China, India and Myanmar.

[HCDX] What Next For Minivan Radio?

2007-05-30 Thread Zacharias Liangas
  What Next For Minivan Radio?
By Ajay Makan
May 27, 2007

Last week pioneering opposition radio station Minivan Radio failed to 
secure a frequency to broadcast in the Maldives, leading local media, 
including ourselves, to question its viability.

Reflecting on the failed frequency bid, the radio’s editor Shaheeda 
Fathimath tells MN there are no plans to close the station.

She robustly defends the station’s independence, distancing it from 
both Minivan Daily and Minivan News, and controversially calls for the 
other organisations to change their names.

And she admits Minivan Radio would sign the Information Ministry’s 
Agreement to secure broadcasting in the Maldives.

Future’s Bright

“Minivan Radio’s future is very, very bright. We will not stop,” Shaheeda 
says emphatically.

“There are many options to continue,” she argues, pointing out the one 
hour daily broadcasts are still available to download from the internet.

Until now Minivan Radio has been the only alternative to government 
broadcaster Voice of Maldives. But after last week’s distribution of FM 
frequencies, a number of competitors will be broadcasting on FM 
twenty-four hours a day.

“Even if they have an alternative people will go for Minivan Radio, 
Shaheeda says. The people have accepted Minivan Radio. It is the 
people’s radio. They trust it.”

Shaheeda lists Short Wave broadcasts and selling content to other 
stations as possible revenue raising options. But it is clear she still sees 
FM broadcasting as the way forward. “TAM have said they have more 
reserved frequencies. We can always ask them again.”

Credibility

To begin broadcasting, companies must sign an agreement with the 
Information Ministry, which will regulate radio. Shaheeda argues the 
agreement is incompatible with independence.

“I don’t believe in the Agreement. I don’t believe in the Content 
Committee [the body established by the Agreement to regulate 
content]. I don’t believe in the Minister selecting eight members for the 
Content Committee. If that’s the case its not fair.”

“We cannot have an independent media unless we have it on [the 
government’s] terms, and this is not democracy, she says. “If someone 
abides by this Agreement, they cannot be independent.

No Choice

Last week Shaheeda criticised the distribution of frequencies by blind 
auction.

“I have already proved I can run a radio. I have been doing this for three 
years,” she said. “But these frequencies are for the rich. They don’t 
care as long as they can get money out of this. It is a commercial 
venture.”

But beyond the rhetoric, Shaheeda accepts the commercialisation of 
radio and agrees, “in some ways it is a positive development.”

“I’m not criticising commercial broadcasters. I don’t have anything 
against them. I am for them and I am with them. If I had money to 
compete with them, I would.”

The problem for Shaheeda is not that frequencies were sold 
commercially, but that broadcasters will have to sign the Information 
Ministry Agreement.

But she says broadcasters have no choice, and Minivan Radio too 
would sign the agreement if they had won a frequency.

“I would sign an agreement. I have no choice. It means I will be more 
like the state media. I will have to make compromises.”

“This is the hard part, she laments. There are a lot of people who call 
me and tell me not to sign an agreement, but it is the only way. And if I 
sign it, that means I have to abide by it.”

Independence

Minivan Radio has often been accused of being anti-government, a 
charge which Shaheeda emphatically denies.

“We give the people the news. We try to get the whole angle on it. This 
includes the government. We try. Everytime we try. But they don’t 
cooperate and they don’t give us information.”

Although Shaheeda will not reveal the names of Minivan Radio’s 
funders as “they would get hurt,” she says funders have never 
interfered with editorial.

“If someone wants to help Minivan Radio, I say there can be no 
conditions. I tell them even if you call me once and ask me to change 
something, I will quit.”

Which Minivan

Shaheeda wants to distance Minivan Radio from Minvan Daily and 
Minivan News. “All the time people think that Minivan Radio and 
Minivan Daily are together. But we don’t have the same editorial policy, 
we don’t have the same management, we are independent.”

But with all three organisations operating from the same premises and 
sharing the same name, Shaheeda admits it is hard to establish any 
distance.

“I have tried many times to change the premises. I have asked many 
people to give me an apartment but they are quoting so much more 
than I pay that I can’t.”

And she says the other two organisations should not have taken on the 
Minivan name. “I am the one who started Minivan. First came Minivan 
Radio three years ago, then Minivan News and then Minivan Daily. I 
don’t know how and I don’t know why Minivan Daily got my logo. I have 
a problem with that.”

“I wish Minivan

Radio Sawa: America's new adventure in radio broadcasting
http://arabmediasociety.sqgd.co.uk/topics/index.php?t_article=119
By Sam Hilmy
According to its founders, Radio Sawa was designed to report the news 
'straight up' so listeners could 'decide for themselves'.

According to its founders, Radio Sawa was designed to report the news 
'straight up' so listeners could 'decide for themselves'.

May, 2007. In April 2002, the U.S. Government launched an audacious 
new Arabic language radio station aimed at the countries of the Middle 
East and North Africa.  The round-the-clock broadcasts, oddly dubbed 
Radio Sawa, replaced at a single stroke the respected brand name of 
the Voice of America's Arabic Service, which had for over a half 
century, in war and peace, provided the region with comprehensive full 
service programming.

A predominantly pop music service designed to appeal to youth, Sawa 
was established at the behest of American commercial media mogul 
Norman Pattiz who, until his resignation at the end of 2006, was a 
member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), an 
independent U.S. federal agency.  The BBG oversees all non-military 
U.S. Government-funded broadcast outlets.  To run the new station, the 
BBG under Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson (a former chairman of the 
Corporation for Public Broadcasting, editor of Reader's Digest and 
director of the VOA who also recently abandoned his government 
position under a cloud of criticism for mismanagement) founded and 
funded the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN), a non-profit 
corporation.  MBN also operates Sawa's younger twin Arabic TV 
satellite channel Alhurra.

Mr. Tomlinson has publicly described his friend and colleague Mr. 
Pattiz as the father of Radio Sawa.  After the station was launched, 
Mr. Pattiz described it in a public forum in ecstatic terms:  It sounded 
so different and it was so appealing-because it really sounds like a 
Western contemporary music station, a pop station.
Sawa's Mission

Like any successful big-time business executive, Mr. Pattiz 
commissioned a survey and a lot of advance research before 
embarking on the costly, large-scale project of a 24/7 Arabic language 
radio station.  The Middle East survey results, according to him, 
showed three things:  (a) over 60 percent of the population ... is under 
the age of 30,  (b) the indigenous media, especially radio ... everything 
was pretty dull and pretty drab, and it sounded like government radio, 
and (c) people were interested in something that didn't sound like 
government radio.  Mr. Pattiz decided that this was what businessmen 
call the hole in the marketplace.  In order to fill this hole with his 
product, Radio Sawa, he needed ample sources of cash and the most 
modern broadcast facilities to reach the audience with a clear signal.  
The new station cost the American taxpayer $34 million in its first year.  
He secured clear FM transmission to most Arab countries and a 
powerful medium wave to the rest.  The VOA's Arabic Service cost the 
U.S. Government less than $5 million annually and transmitted its 
programs on a limited medium wave and a few short waves at the time 
it was replaced by Sawa.

Mr. Pattiz described his new station's mission as ... reporting the news 
straight up and letting the listeners ...decide for themselves. He said 
that in addition to Sawa's journalistic mission, it aspires to be an 
example of a free press in the American tradition.   He added:  We 
generally play an Arabic pop song followed by a Western pop song.  
And then we'll have news, five to ten minutes in length, twice an hour, 
with headlines at the top and bottom of the hour.
Program Components[1]

Sawa's constant on-air slogan boasts about the loveliest tunes and the 
latest news.  It never identifies itself as an American station or where it 
broadcasts from.  Its round-the-clock airtime is divided into roughly 20 
percent news and 80 percent pop music.  Everything the listener hears 
other than the music is called The World Now. This rubric 
encompasses the presentation of hard news, light news, bromide and 
topical features and interviews, sports and so forth.  The only exception 
is a daily 30-minute news program called Iraq and the World, half of 
which is rerun an hour later.  No news-related material ever interrupts, 
or is incorporated within, the music portion-no matter how urgent the 
breaking news.  Sawa does not carry discrete, identifiable programs 
with distinct titles, individual star talent and performers, music themes 
and thematic focus.  No news bulletins are heard alerting listeners to 
momentous world events.

Unlike its plethora of field reporters and stringers, the station's studio 
readers, anchor persons and host announcers are never identified by 
name.  This anonymity applies to the readers of widely scattered 
promos outside the news portions, plugging for Sawa, its website and 
(since February 2004) its sister TV channel Alhurra.

Uganda: Catholic Radio Named Among the Best in Africa
http://allafrica.com/stories/200705291000.html
Nairobi

A Catholic radio station in rural Uganda has won the admiration of an 
international panel of judges for contributing significantly to knowledge 
and development in the area.

Radio Pacis, based in Arua in West Nile District, was named Africa's 
New Radio Station of the Year in a competition celebrating radio 
excellence in the continent, organised by the British Broadcasting 
Corporation.
Africa 2007

The awards were presented at a ceremony in Nairobi on Saturday.

The judges described Radio Pacis as a fine example of what a 
community radio station based outside the capital can do.

With a small staff and modest resources, the station still addresses 
challenging local issues, including providing advice on medical and 
health problems and debating matters of local interest alongside local 
and national news.

It has some problems with sound quality but the judges are convinced 
Pacis contributes significantly to knowledge and development in the 
area. Besides a trophy, the station will also receive USD5, 000 worth of 
equipment from the BBC.

An ecstatic Sherry Meyer, the station manager, told CISA the win was a 
moment of joy for not just the station but also for all Catholic media 
initiatives in Africa.

Radio Pacis was started with the assistance of Comboni Missionaries in 
2004, following a cry from the people that they wanted a radio station, 
the programme manager, Anecho Sam, said.

He said the focus of the station is development of the human person, 
and does not target Catholics only. It is the station that the people 
asked for.


Radio Pacis can be heard not only in West Nile but also in parts of 
South Sudan and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

The grand prize, the Radio Station of the Year award, went to South 
Africa's 702 Talk Radio. Two Kenyans, Esther Mbondo of Kenya 
Broadcasting Corporation, and James Wokabi of Capital FM, were 
named Africa's best radio news and sports journalists.

Ghana's Joy FM and Citi FM won awards for the best on-air campaign 
and talk show of the year respectively. Ms Qaanitaah Dramat was 
crowned Young Broadcaster of the Year.
