Why Emergent Communities Need Community Radio
Are you part of an ‘emerging Community’? What’s it like to create a new voice for your community on radio or television?
Warren Crosbie will lead a discussion about involving your community in your media. He will facilitate storytelling about what is it like to be new to radio or TV and to develop new audiences around your language or community interest. Your emerging community might be newly arrived in Australia. You might be the first brave person to propose a new program for your gender, sexual preference special interest or needs groups.
At this session we will share our experiences and consider questions like: When your community is new, what can you do to reach your audience and get members of your community to know your station and your program?
Warren Crosbie is a trainer at Radio 3ZZZ 92.3 FM in Melbourne. He works with people from Sudan and other parts of Africa.
This is a draft note for a workshop Warren Crosbie is hoping to lead at this year’s CBAA Conference.
