[cr-india] Women in Radio Facebook group for women community radio broadcasters in India

[Arti Jaiman]

Dear Geeta,
Thanks. It will be wonderful for grassroot community radio reporters to engage with mainstream as well as alternate media women journalists. There would be a lot to learn for both sides, I would imagine. 

Regards

Gurgaon Ki Awaaz is the first and only civil-society-led community radio station in the National Capital Region of Delhi. Since 2009, we have been broadcasting 22X7, in Hindi and Haryanvi, with a team of community reporters who generate community content with community participation.

Dear Arti and others,

Congatulations! This is a superb initiative and all support for it.

I'm sharing with the Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI), which has a huge number of print, broadcast (and now internet) journalists as members.

regards,

geeta

>As a followup of a meeting of quite a few women community radio broadcasters in Hyderabad, with a special push from Nimmi Chauhan represening the AMARC-WIN network, Archana Kapoor and Pinky Chandran from CRAI and Venu Arora and myself from CRF, we've set up a Facebook group for all women community radio broadcasters working in all the nearly 160-odd CR stations in the country. We would like to see this informal space as a place to share experiences, photographs, learnings, articles, work and voices, and also as a place to share learning and training opportunities. We encourage members to post in their own language (if a translation can accompany that is fine, else just write the name of the language the original post has been written in and we will use Google Translate to post the gist of the message). We would also like all station managers, reporters to get their women team members onto the group, help them create a FB account if they don't already
 have one. If team members are uncomfortable with a photograph, please use any photograph (for example, as our group photo we have used a faceless photograph of women holding hands). we understand that not all members will be comfortable having their photographs on the internet.
