migration in India. This manual lays out a different perspective on the issue of internal migration, which contextualizes and explains the causes and consequences of migration in a non-judgmental way, through a rights-based approach. The manual will guide CR practitioners through a process of thinking about the kind of radio programmes, campaigns and other broadcasts that can be developed to address the myriad issues around migration, particularly reflecting ethical approaches to addressing migrants and their issues. It also examines methods and practices to actively include migrant communities within the CR station's listenership, its programming and outreach. It will thereby help you create a socially inclusive agenda for your CR station with respect to migrants." (Pages 8-9)

"This article reflects upon the opportunities and challenges of using Participatory Action Research (PAR) with community radio broadcasters in southern Ghana to investigate the impacts of climate change. Through a detailed outline of the methodological approach employed in this initiative as well as
...
the findings that it produced, we consider how action research might serve to reveal the power relations, systemic drivers of vulnerability, and opportunities for sustainable action for social change related to climate impacts. As co-facilitators of this process based in a Northern research institution, we reflect upon the challenges, limitations and benefits of the approach used in order to identify potential areas for improvement and to understand how the dynamics of this partnership shaped collaboration. We also discuss how employing a systemic approach to action research helped to provide insights into the interactions between the physical and environmental impacts of climate change and related systems such as land tenure and agricultural production. A systemic approach to PAR, we argue, lends itself especially well to analysis of climate change adaptation and resilience, both of which are embedded within complex systems of institutions, assets, individuals and structures, and therefore not appropriate for narrow or one-dimensional analyses. Finally, we consider the specific contributions and challenges that engaging community radio as a research partner may offer to investigations on climate change." (Abstract)

pmental broadcasting service over a period of time." Asking the question, what is it that needs to be sustained? they offer a holistic view on sustainability by examining how a radio station is embedded in its geographic, economic, infrastructural, social, linguistic and cultural context. Furthermore, the case studies consider the broadcasting environment, programme schedules, management structures and sources of income of the radio stations. Particular attention is paid to the community engagement of the radio stations and to the causes for active community involvement." (commbox)

The aim of the study was to assess the level at which community radio stations in Africa are involved in programming of content on sustainable development themes/ topics

. Investigations conducted through the study indicate that in general, community radio stations are still struggling with producing content on sustainable development. One of the reasons is the lack of understanding and distinction of what sustainable content is especially in the specific context of the different communities. Findings however also indicate that despite challenges faced by the sector, community radio stations are making some efforts to produce programmes on sustainable content although they are also faced with challenges on identifying and working with relevant stakeholders for content development. This report makes specific recommendation on how community radio stations can improve on sustainable programming." (Executive summary of findings, page 5-6)

A whole chapter is dedicated to the importance of human rights, and, as the publication has a regional focus on South Africa, to the South African constitution and its effects on the communication sector. Emphasis is also given to the underlying ethical agenda of community radio journalism, such as reporting gender fairly, and to aspects of radio production, eg, presentation and technical preparation. The handbook is structured in an easy to read manner: each chapter begins with a summary and contains 'let's make it clear' boxes and real life examples, as well as 'handy hints', checklists and additional boxes where difficult words are explained or where background information is provided."

conduct; section B is on programming, the nature of radio and its possibilities, and shows the different formats which can be used. Two things are special about the primer: Firstly, it explains what kind of equipment is needed, what it costs and what must be considered when choosing a transmitter, an antenna tower, and a suitable location for broadcasting. Furthermore, it gives advice on studio acoustics and on policies for operating a transmitter. Secondly, it outlines general characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of radio which should be kept in mind by those who have not worked with radio before, such as: 'radio lacks permanence. The audience may not read and re-read messages as in the print press', or 'radio appeals to disadvantaged groups. Being portable and inexpensive it is affordable to the common people, especially to farmers, fishermen and rural audiences." (commbox)

Moreover, it briefly explains the technical background of broadcasting, such as the difference between AM and FM broadcasting, as well as the basics about the equipment which is needed. What makes the publication particularly interesting is its perspective on community involvement in every step of setting up a radio station - which is, as many community radio stations are built up by institutions like NGO's, churches or universities, not something to be taken for granted."
