[cma-l] Recordings from the Online Radio Conf. held on 29/01/15

[Pippa at Curly Radio]

Afternoon everyone,

I went along to this conference last week.  It was very good and really highlighted how different our objectives and measures of success are across the sector.  The technical and funding debates were particularly good.   Just beware when listening to the Legal section, because the lawyer stated that Ofcom Broadcast Code rules apply to online radio, which they don’t.  That’s not to say that you can’t be sued for defamation though, or that it’s not a good idea to follow the rules for taste and decency purposes.  

In the morning I went to an Editorial Decision-Making workshop run by RigTrain (part of the Radio Independents Group).   They pointed us to the ‘Green Book’ of editorial guidelines.  Apparently, these incorporate,  and in some cases go further than,  the Ofcom rules.   It was quite refreshing to find out that even the most top notch producers need workshops like this too!  

Worth a read if you’ve not seen them already.

The Online Radio Conf. was organised for online radio stations and shows whose predominant means of distribution is via the Internet.

It offered 

  a.. A chance to meet with others who are inspired by online radio. 
  b.. An opportunity to share best practices and swap ideas on how to overcome common challenges, such as fundraising, managing a radio station, technical issues, reaching audiences and providing positive experiences for announcers and volunteers. 
  c.. An event organised to bring the online radio sector together to exchange views on how to grow individually, while strengthening the sector as a whole.
