AMARC Tells The Story Of The Official And The Alternative Summit
Rostock, June 6. Forty Community radio journalists from more than
twenty countries are producing and broadcasting programs in 6
languages, available via internet and satellite 24/24. This is the
radio coverage organized by the European section of the World
Association of Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) for the G8 Summit in
Heiligendamn and for the alternative summit in Rostock, which end on June 8.
“We are very pleased” says Francesco Diasio, AMARC Europe Coordinator,
“ we didn’t expect such a large participation of community radio
journalists. Our German Free Radio Federation
(BFR) colleagues did put in place excellent technical infrastructure to
make all this possible.”. The multilingual channel is broadcasting all
day long on the MIR Satellite channel Med Info Radio : the program is
available in several languages allowing for sufficient room for round
tables and for debates on the official and the alternative Summit main
themes : environment, migrations, war and peace movements and also some
on the ground reports by correspondents.
“ The World Association of Radio Broadcasters
(AMARC) once again is involved to support the community radio and the
social movements with which we share values of non violence, human
rights recognition for women and men, respect of the environment and
most of all Peace” adds Mr.Diasio.
