In the oh so sincere commitement to accountability that characterises the
post Thatcherite, Blairite, Con Dem PR position of politicians of every hue
- just occasionally you get to burst the bubble that has BS written on it-
you can choose what the initials stand for (could be big something or bull
something). And the result sometimes - it makes a politician look as silly
as a Premier league manager who wont talk to the BBC - because he doesn't
like the questions he's been asked or is likely to be asked!<br>
<br>
Without wishing to get all Aristotle - for those in public life it really
"is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought
without accepting it" - sadly for some the absence of such a mind
justifies being a stroppy git who wont talk to you (my bits outside the
quotation marks).<br>
<br>
all best everyone in your passionate commitment to the delights of
Community Radio <br>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>An interesting and pertinent debate to us at the
moment. Here at Stroud FM I strive for all our presenters to be impartial
and for our range of guests to be challenged about their views,
so that all sides of the argument are covered. I
personally believe that taking a one sided stance doesn't work, but
a lively debate does. It also, I think, makes better
radio. So, the opposition lib dems put out a press release stating
they were opposed to the cuts at the county council level, we interview
the County council opposition lib Dem leader and ask them
where they think the cuts should be made, as made they have to be. We
interview the leader of the tory controlled county council, and challenged
him to explain exactly why he is introducing savage cuts in the
libraries, youth services, care for the elderly. He gives
a lively account and defence as to why those area's are
being targeted. All should be happy eh? Nope, the tory leader of
the county council, it would appear, has blacklisted us because we
gave him too hard a time by asking fair but tough
questions. At the moment, he has, so we understand,
decided he won't be doing interviews with us.... which I find
rather galling..., it would appear that some other councillors are
backing his stance, and are therefore not coming on to talk about even
minor issues that are not related to the cuts<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>I would say -( wouldn't I) given the context
of media coverage as a whole and the role of commmunity media as part
of that ecology there is a clear mandate to give a voice to those who
do not have a voice. The local authority will probably have a publication
and a press office to deliver their position without any obligation
to give a contrary view. I know I am on record as regarding the main
media players as partial, and deluded in any "belief" that
they do not mediate a sense of balance within their own specific
sensibilities. So perhaps its an opportunity for us- to lead with a
slightly more honest approach e.g. "this may not be everyones
view but I (individual broadcaster) think such and such policy is
awful for the following reasons........., anyone wishing to counter
this view is welcome to come forward and contribute to a programme to
present their view". Sound Radio broadcast with this approach
for a number of years, money may have been a problem but this freedom
of speech was not (most of the time). <br>
Be brave, be honest and be smart, otherwise I would have to say what
is the point?<br>
<br>
This would be a personal view I am happy to consider any contrary
responses in a sensible and balanced way (do you get me)<br>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>.......you can't be expected to have
'balance' in every programme but you can achieve 'balance' across a
schedule. This need not necessarily be focussed narrowly on an issue
like libraries, you could consider broader approaches such as a
discussion of local government priorities, residents priorities,
national public spending cuts effect on locale. I suspect you will
always get into diffs with single issues when those either for or
against are poor communicators but you could say on air that an
invitation was sent to the local county council and they did not
reply, were not available etc.... if a majority of people in your
community are opposed to library closures and those carrying out the
closures have a poor record of communication, that is not your fault.
It is the reality of what is happening in your community and you are
reflecting that .....discussing positive ways forward, opening up
dialogue and involving the community and its elected representatives
should help your listeners to see that you are attempting to be
impartial.... <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

council wants to close 20 or its 34 libraries, including the one in

little bit twitchy about this, thinking that we shouldn't come out for
one side or the other, whether on air or off air.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
