NFCB CEO Sally Kane will be part of a dynamic UNESCO panel Friday, and you’re welcome to attend.
“Global Dialogues, Community Media in the Post-Pandemic World” is an ongoing series where community radio practitioners, advocates, and network representatives in different regions discuss our role. Each of the dialogues seeks to explore the following questions:
- What roles can community media play in crisis situations, such as the current pandemic?
- What are the possibilities and constraints for community media in the post-pandemic world?
- What is the continued relevance of community media in the age of digitization and digital media?
- What are the experiences of movements and networks in negotiating with governments on opening up third-sector media?
- Does the state of civil society across the world give rise to optimism about the future of community media?
- Is there a need for reform/transformation within the community media sector to adapt itself to the post-pandemic world?
This panel’s theme is “Promoting Pluralism, Amplifying Local Voices: Community Radio in North America.”
