Role of Community Radio in Community Development

The Australian Indigenous community hold extremely significant corrections to the land of Australia, of which they refer to as ‘Country.’ Indigenous people acquire deep meaning from the land, sea and the countless resources derived from them. This special relationship has formed for many centuries. To them ‘Country’ is paramount for overall wellbeing; the strong, significant, spiritual bonds embody their entire existence. Knowledge is continually passed down to create an unbroken connection of past,

Module 9: Briefly describe basic procedures in using the radio: call-up, acknowledgement, length of broadcast, etc.

Our country of Canada has a dark past. First Nations and Indigenous people in Canada were oppressed to the point where people now refer to what happened to them over 150 years as a cultural genocide. In this essay, I will attempt to explain the media’s coverage on the oppression that Indigenous people have faced, and why media coverage was so rare prior to this year. I will do this by looking in detail at three scholarly articles, five newspaper articles, and a YouTube video.

P7. Report on 3 examples of current affairs that affect public services and citizens. M4. Analyse the effects on citizens and public services of the way that three current affairs examples have been reported by the media.

As previously mentioned, society has a history of oppression and forced assimilation of the Native population. Today, society still fails to regard tribes as being sovereign nations within our nation. But, social movements like the Dakota Access Pipeline protests are shifting societies view of tribal nations as being autonomous. Media coverage of such issues is important because it reaches a wider audience and helps gain attention for tribal issues. Outreach programs like the one I work for also help to mediate between CPS and tribes on behalf of Indian children’s welfare and support the ICWA’s

The media holds great power when it comes to influencing the attitudes of the nation as it is the primary source if information for many Australians. The many forms of media, such as radio, television, and newspapers can also represent Australian values and the state of our society at the present time.

“However, Aboriginal people still struggle for more than words on paper. They require the enactment of visible justice, where aboriginal people have a pride of place and heritage that can be shared as well as respected.” (king, 2010, p.216).

Discrimination of Aboriginal culture and way of life has also been a pressing issue during the years between 1945 and 2010. Canada, as nation that promotes equality, has done a terrible job demonstrating it. False stereotypes and perceptions of Native American people are very common in society today and back then. It is most common in the media because it is seen by almost everyone and has a considerable influence on peoples perspective on an idea, whether their aboriginal or not. Media reaches everywhere, from movies to the new and from advertisement to literature, it gets coverage. In the media aboriginals only ever get minor roles with a lack of identity in their characters, but when they are recognized, they are seen as

In his book, "Promises not kept" Isbister explains to us that most of the people living in poverty stricken Asia, South America, and Africa are plagued by disease, danger and uncertainty. Isbister asks us the question of why social change in the third world has come to a halt and how come there is massive and swelling poverty that continues to plague almost all of the developing countries. Social scientists have developed different approaches to help understand why there is poverty in the third world and also to help seek out the answers to why poverty keeps on persisting.

In this essay I will be discussing how the Australian media affects Indigenous Australians through negative and positive news reports, how journalists

Radio was a very important transmission mode. The radio’s main function was to deliver citizens the necessary information in a way that was easy to understand, while at the same time making sure the news agencies earned sufficient ratings and to profit. The radio companies had to make the radio programming easy to understand to the average citizen, because “[t]he education of many Americans had ended after freshman year in high school. (Horten, p.

Radio broadcasting left a major social impact on Americans. It delivered news, advertising, and entertainment to the American household. The radio allowed Americans from across the United States to be up to date on the latest political news, sports, and radio shows. Companies used the radio to spread their product to the American living room. The radio left the greatest impact on society for the variety of content it contained and how popular it was.

Each individual makes up the society as it is, and various characteristics and beliefs makes up an individual. Although, individual lives together with a variety of personal ideologies, emotions, cultures, and rituals, they all differentiate one person from the other making up one’s own identity. This identity makes up who one is inside and out, their behaviour, actions, and words comes from their own practices and values. However, the profound history of Indigenous people raises question in the present about their identities. Who are they really? Do we as the non-native people judge them from the outside or the inside? Regardless of whether the society or the government were involved in their lives, they faced discrimination in every

The research purpose is to provide options that the communities can consider which way benefits their area.

Indigenous people have been oppressed since colonization in the 1500’s, which resulted in the Indian Act of 1876 and Residential Schools, that lasted many generations. As a result, this created negative outcomes such as sexual assault and psychological abuse, leading to substance abuse, mental health, and suicide problems. The Canadian government’s, overall goal, was to Westernize Indigenous people in different parts of Canada. Due to this, Aboriginal people feel disconnected, deprived, lost and traumatized. As well as, being stripped out of their identities, with the lasting effects of inter-generational trauma passed to generations, with its present effects on the 21st century. As Frideres (2008) stated, “the new generation of Aboriginal people has grown up without assigned roles or groups that anchor Aboriginality so that identity can no longer be granted.” Many of them feel that in order for true healing to start the identity catastrophe must be settled first. This has brought me to wonder if the creation of social media has helped revive the Indigenous identity (Frideres, 2008). Through social media’s present effects and strength in this current day and age, social media has given marginalized groups a voice to be heard, allowing Indigenous people to use social media towards their advantage. The main question of my research is how does social media affect the Indigenous Identity? More specifically, the paper will focus on the research question, has social
