The Census is an example of this. This is something that CMA should have taken on board and created awareness of a very long time ago. It’s not difficult to understand that Government departments will not offer payment for something that they can get for nothing. They know that commercial radio and tv have to be paid for publicising the Census. They also believe that community radio stations will do the job for FREE, as they have done in the past. The only way things will change is to say NO PAYMENT – NO PUBLICITY! If the announcements are classed as public service then all stations can receive payment for promoting the Census. People may think this is a hard line to take, but, if the Government is paying all the other media for coverage then it is only fair to pay community radio for giving the same, if not better coverage. Community radio can reach groups that other media are unable to reach. Community radio stations should stand together to achieve the recognition that they deserve. It shouldn’t take too long for Government departments to realise what community radio can offer in terms of reach. But, whilst community radio stations do things like promoting the Census for free then community radio will continue to be taken advantage of and will carry on being on the breadline and desperate for funding to exist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Have a united policy on things like this and stand together.

After sending an<br>> email directly to the Director-General of the ONS (the one below who<br>> suggested to the House that they are considering using Community Media)<br>> - I was called from one of their Head Office representatives. <br>> <br>> When I questioned him (to start with) he said they weren't using radio<br>> at all, and had a restricted media budget. When pushed, he said they<br>> would support community media by sending ONS representatives to<br>> community media to promote the Census. I said the problem isn't with<br>> guests for content, more the assumption that we'll give them the<br>> airtime, staff resources etc for free - so essentially we have to pay<br>> for promoting their campaign. <br>> <br>> I referred him back to the letter (below) from his Director-General, and<br>> he said 'oh, yes, we are doing TV and Radio'. He also said that the<br>> media strategy was only finalised a few days ago. I asked (as many of us<br>> seem to have experienced the same responses) why ONS Census area<br>> managers have been saying since December that the media budget had<br>> already been committed and there was no money left, if it was only<br>> recently finalised. Also, why was their DG saying they were considering<br>> using Community Media without consulting the sector, then finalizing a<br>> media strategy (primarily aimed at the 'easy to count')?<br>> <br>> The reason I've pushed on with this is that I think this kind of<br>> thinking is detrimental to our sector, and has been allowed to continue<br>> for so long. It needs to be challenged publicly, and followed up with<br>> publicity to show our unique effectiveness with our target audiences. <br>> <br>> I've asked our MP to table a follow up question in the House, hopefully<br>> that may raise some awareness. I also really think this is the kind of<br>> thing the CMA should be doing!<br>> <br>> Best, Shane<br>> <br>> p.s. After my last email, I had a number of responses from a number of<br>> stations saying they'd had similar experiences, but none that said they<br>> were actively working on the campaigns. Part of the Census HO reps<br>> argument was that a number of Community media orgs have reacted<br>> positively to the approach. Is this true? Can you let me know if this is<br>> the case with you?<br>> <br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: <a href="mailto:cma-l-bounces@mailman.commedia.org.uk">cma-l-bounces@mailman.commedia.org.uk</a><br>> <a href="mailto:[mailto:cma-l-bounces@mailman.commedia.org.uk]">[mailto:cma-l-bounces@mailman.commedia.org.uk]</a> On Behalf Of CMA-L<br>> Sent: 18 January 2011 18:19<br>> To: <a href="mailto:cma-l@commedia.org.uk">cma-l@commedia.org.uk</a><br>> Subject: [cma-l] National Census, Cabinet Office, Written answers and<br>> statements, 17 January 2011<br>> <br>> Office for National Statistics (ONS) is considering the use of<br>> "community media"<br>> to publicise the England & Wales 2011 Census on 27th March.<br>> <br>> Lyn Brown (West Ham, Labour):<br>> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br>> To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what steps his Department<br>> has taken to ensure that the 2011 Census captures accurate population<br>> data for areas with high levels of (a) ethnic and cultural diversity<br>> and (b) population change.<br>> <br>> Nick Hurd (Parliamentary Secretary (Civil Society), Cabinet Office;<br>> Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, Conservative):<br>> ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<br>> ::::::::::::::::::::::::<br>> The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK<br>> Statistics Authority.

There will<br>> be a national advertising campaign including TV, press, radio, and<br>> online advertising as well as billboards, and transport advertising<br>> (such as tube, bus etc). Publicity will also be tailored to reach many<br>> target population groups such as black and minority ethnic groups and<br>> young people.
