[cma-l] CMA radio sanctuary campaign suggestion

Wed Jun 29 14:03:44 BST 2016

Community media is a place to serve underrepresented communities – surely supporting these particular communities now is a positive move that will also make it clear to observers what makes community media unique?

I may be misunderstanding Mike’s email (apologies if I am), but I don’t think we risk turning listeners into ‘bigots' by broadcasting a message of support and solidarity?

I’d also argue that community media can support authorities with encouraging reporting of unsavoury matters. Perhaps now is the time to invite police etc to take part in programmes and get their message out.

Cheers,

I must agree with Ian. I've always been of the view that to talk about a problem can be the creation of a problem ever since I winced when an external youth worker, from a city centre, came to a club where I was helping, started talking about glue-sniffing which was a problem we had not encountered at our club. Fortunately the problem was not created but I thought it was irresponsible. The laws exist to deal with these unsavoury matters so the authorities are the place to which these should be reported and not the airwaves.

I may be thought of as an old cycnic here - but are we not making a huge fuss about something that we at this level can do absolutely nothing  about in terms of a ensuring a positive outcome?
Are we not in danger of aggravating the problem by keeping up the publicity?

We have plenty of evidence through programmes and stations run by and for these communities over a long period of time but now I think it is time to shout out more about this.
