l o del desarrollo. En este trabajo se ha llevado a cabo una revisión y actualización de la base de datos de talleres de radio para personas con DI actualmente activos en España, a fecha de 2017, a través de los dos principales colectivos que representan a estas personas: la Confederación Española de Organizaciones a favor de las Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (FEAPS) –hoy Plena inclusión–, plataforma que integra más de 800 asociaciones en todo el país, e incorporando la oferta de los talleres de la Confederación Española de Federaciones y Asociaciones de Atención a las personas con Parálisis Cerebral y Afines (Confederación ASPACE), que agrupa a unas 80 entidades en 17 comunidades autónomas. El resultado ofrece una foto fija de la estructura, funcionamiento y características de 53 proyectos radiofónicos en los que participan cerca de 500 personas con discapacidad intelectual." (Resumen)

"A key element of the guidebook are the follow-up questions, which can guide us in the right direction when children feature in our stories. Some of the questions focus on written rules—for example, making sure we have complied with all the laws—but others target the “unwritten” rules, the t

erritory of ethics and morality. Questions of the latter type are not always straightforward and may require us to try putting ourselves in the place of the child, imagining how they feel or how our actions might affect their feelings. As the popular phrase goes, we must “walk in their shoes." (Page 3)

Such an attempt contrihutes towards an action study for the digitization of indigenous culture.

The findings from the study reveal that students learn literature through action research more realistically and accurately, and thereby save indigenous cultures." (Abstract)

"This Information Ecosystem Assessment builds on the previous study conducted by Internews and the Emergency Telecoms Sector in late 2017. It targets both refugee and host communities, through an extensive quantitative survey and select Focus Group Discussions. The standout change between the two As
...
sessments is the dramatic increase in the number of refugees who say they now have enough information to make decisions about their daily lives: the percentage jumped from 23% in 2017 to 92% in the recent study. This is evidence that the efforts to provide information, by Internews, BBC Media Action, Translators Without Borders, and a range of humanitarian organisations, has had real impact in meeting information needs. Upon close examination, however, the increase is not a straightforward win. Large numbers of refugees still report confusion over how to access several services and meet basic needs, with 40% saying they were unsure how to obtain more or better food. Similarly large percentages needed information about financial support, water supplies aid registration general information about events around the camps, what was happening in Myanmar / Rakhine, and long-term options for their and their children’s futures. As discussed in the report, it is possible that refugees don’t identify the lack of answers to these questions as an ‘information gap’ that affects their ability to make decisions, but rather a simple lack of options that better information can’t resolve."

"This manual, which has been developed by African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) has recognized SRHR as an advocacy issue with media being a key partner in driving this agenda. In many African societies, gender relations are characterized by unequal power relations that are

dominated within a culture of shared beliefs, values, customs and behaviours. It is within culture that women and girls face violations and discrimination of their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights. Culture is a learning process which changes over time and journalists can play a huge role in changing social thinking and attitudes to enable women and girls achieve human development and lead long healthy lives where their rights are respected. The media advocacy on access to SRHR will lead to abandonment of discriminatory practices and encourage policies and practices that will enable women to take control of their SRHR by expressing their own demands and finding solutions to their own problems."

It is aimed at local government staff, institutions and organizations wishing to serve as information hubs, in collaboration with IOM. It is hoped that this document will serve to provide community and institutional stakeholders with tools for the promotion of regular, orderly and safe migration in the interest of human rights, through the model Information Hubs on Migration."

"1. While gender gaps are observable in most aspects of ICT access, skills and leadership, the picture is complex. There are large regional variations: some countries are close to parity or have even reversed the gender gap on some indicators, while others still have persistent gaps. Individual coun
...
tries can have both large and small gaps, depending on the indicator being measured. Interpreting the gaps requires careful and contextualised analysis.
2. Barriers to gender digital equality are generally related to one or more of the following: 1) availability of infrastructure; 2) financial constraints; 3) ICT ability and aptitude; 4) interest and perceived relevance of ICTs; 5) safety and security; and 6) socio-cultural and institutional contexts. Most of these barriers cut across issues of access, skills, and leadership, although they may manifest in slightly different ways. While research has documented these barriers, the evidence from different sources is sometimes contradictory, even within the same country contexts.
3. There is no one conclusive strategy for eliminating gender digital inequalities. Recommendations generally call either for targeting specific contributing factors of gender digital inequality (such as affordability or recruiting practices), or for reshaping deeply ingrained social norms and practices (such as gender stereotypes) that are at the root of gender inequalities. As with the evidence on barriers, research results are sometimes contradictory or nuanced.
4. The dominant approaches to gender equality in ICT access, skills, and leadership mostly frame issues in binary (male/female) terms, thereby masking the relevance of other pertinent identities. Insufficient research has been done on the implications of ICTs for intersectional identities. Data collection should move from binary sexdisaggregation towards finer degrees of status disaggregation in order to recognise multiple and interacting identities (such as sexuality, poverty, class, education, age, disability, and occupation).
5. To ensure privacy and safety as well as full participation in the digital economy, women should have equal opportunities to develop adequate basic and advanced digital skills. Cyberstalking, online harassment, image manipulation, privacy violations, geotracking, and surveillance can compromise women’s and girls’ safety both online and offline. In addition, some evidence suggests the digital transformation of labour may be widening gender wage gaps. These outcomes can be averted with the right types of training combined with social and institutional change.
6. Developments in digital technologies open new pathways to gender diversity and inclusion; however, lack of attention to gender dynamics and differences hampers the potential for true progress. For example, evidence suggests that most women’s work in the digital economy, particularly in the Global South, reinforces existing social divisions. Moreover, artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, designed largely by men, tend to ignore the negative gender implications of their designs. Research, government policy and design principles should include gender awareness and analysis, for example by building in data and privacy protections and avoiding gender stereotypes."

"This study examines news production and newsroom culture in radio stations in Ghana’s Northern Region. It explores the dynamics of news production and delivery in indigenous language newsrooms. Through in-depth interviews with eight indigenous language news presenters and journalists, the study c
...
ritically explores the intricacies of news production, drawing attention to how news production is contextualized within this society. Through an oral epistemological approach, I argue that news journalists and presenters draw on orature and oral epistemologies to build their news-presenting personas and personalities in a way that positions them as frame sponsors who intentionally set the agenda for news content by unilaterally selecting specific stories to air. This study presents novel ways to conceptualize framing and agenda-setting while demonstrating the usefulness of customizing theory for specific sociocultural contexts. The study presents theoretical and practical implications to bridge the gap between theory and praxis while rethinking news production in Global South contexts such as Ghana." (Abstract)

"The information ecosystem in DRC is fragmented and fragile. It is characterised by a great number of media outlets, however their level of professionalism is low and their vulnerability to partisan capture is high. This fragility is replicated in the online space. The Congolese population rely heav

ily on informal sources of information such as word of mouth, interpersonal communication with family and friends. The scarcity of reliable information open avenues for the rumours and misinformation to spread. This context presents serious challenges for the promotion of good governance and accountability that requires well informed citizens. To better address those challenges, it is necessary to understand the main sources and dynamics of information flows both offline and online, and through media and non-media channels. A consortium composed of Fondation Hirondelle (FH), Demos, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) and the Institut Congolais de Recherche en Développement et Etudes Stratégiques (ICREDES) was created in order to provide a more holistic view of the Congolese information ecosystem and to identify opportunities for entry. Due to the limited time and resources of the study, and because of the pre-existing networks and capacities of the consortium in this region, its focus is on North Kivu. To identify the voices, networks and themes that dominated this information ecosystem in this region, three levels of analysis were chosen: 1. The sources and level of information of the local populations. This analysis was provided by HHI that implemented household surveys of large samples of populations in Eastern DRC; 2. The sources of information of local journalists. This analysis was provided by FH that surveyed a network of 18 local radios in North Kivu; 3. The network and content analysis of digital and social media provided by DEMOS [...] Findings: Radio is the primary media source of information for the population of Eastern DRC (78% of the sample listens to it occasionally and 43% daily [...] The main sources of information depend on the context and the nature of the information people are seeking [...] The results highlight the lack of reliability of information sources (46% of respondents expressed a moderate to high level of confidence in local radio, and 39% for national radio) ..."

r que l’enquête aurait pu révéler des résultats bien différents si elle avait concerné l’ensemble des régions du Burkina. Nous aurions vu apparaître bien d’autres spécificités locales et peut-être quelques thèmes d’intérêt nouveaux. C’est pourquoi, au-delà des résultats spécifiques à chaque région, l’une des conclusions majeures de ce travail est l’impérieuse nécessité de prendre en considération les spécificités locales des différentes régions. Ceci non seulement afin de retenir l’attention de ces jeunes ruraux mais aussi afin de ne pas les amener à fuir l’écoute de la radio. Ces spécificités concernent: - D’une part les activités économiques locales (importance donnée à l’agriculture ou à l’élevage, présence d’activités d’orpaillage, proximité avec des grands pôles économiques comme Ouagadougou ou proximité avec des pays à fort dynamisme économique comme la Côte d’Ivoire ou le Ghana, etc.), Et d’autre part la situation sécuritaire. En ce sens, les informations transmises et le mode de communication ne peut pas être totalement uniforme. Enfin, à travers les réponses à nos questions et à travers les analyses ressorties ci-dessus, il est très clairement apparu que les jeunes sont en attente de médias plus proches d’eux, de leurs préoccupations et de leur réalité. Ils ont partagé leur souhait de participer à des émissions de radio et même de recevoir, dans leurs villages, les studios de production pour réaliser de temps en temps des émissions de radio directement chez eux. Se faire entendre et entendre d’autres jeunes qui leur ressemblent est un vœu partagé par les jeunes que nous avons rencontré au cours de cette enquête." (Conclusions, page 41)

os, si bien es cierto es importante el consumo de radio en celulares, dista mucho del grupo de 11 a 25 años (39% a nivel nacional y 48% en Lima). A partir de los 51 años el alcance decae a menos del 20% a nivel nacional, ya que les cuesta trabajo adaptarse a estos dispositivos y se sienten más cómodos con los aparatos convencionales de radio. La cantidad de emisoras radiales que operan en el país y su variada programación hacen de este medio una alternativa muy segmentada para los anunciantes, donde encontramos formatos especializados por géneros musicales e informativos: el género de emisoras Mix donde predomina la música actual como el reggaetón, la salsa y el latin pop, es el más sintonizado en Lima por jóvenes de 11 a 25 años alcanzando el 63% durante la semana."
