 We don't often realize that the coversations we have over beverages about improving our newscasts, or our music shows, or our service to our communities really can be the foundations for building a better society.
That's what they will be doing at the Grassroots Radio Conference 11. Trying to figure out more and new ways of action, making new friendships and renewing old ones, creating great radio. GRC-11 is the latest gathering of the Grassroots Radio Coalition, a loose group of many stations and people that has no bylaws, no dues, no staff, and no standing structure except a listserv. But what the coalition does have is a history and a set of ideas... The history: building a movement for social change, justice, and democracy through media that reflects these values. The ideas: commitment to building community, serving underserved groups, challenging listeners, expanding cultural experience, providing community access to the airwaves, and airing diverse programming. The history, the ideas... these are happening now, and they are part of a movement called grassroots radio. |
