Radio Nation - Increasing Indigenous Voices on the Airways
Radio Nation is a resource for non-Indigenous stations interested in providing greater access and broadcasting opportunities to local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Radio Nation video, with accompanying fact sheets, provides practical strategies for applying Indigenous cultural protocols in engaging and supporting Indigenous presenters, building sustainable programs and representing Indigenous people, knowledge and cultures on-air.
Radio Nation looks at how three community radio stations have successfully engaged and supported Indigenous people to become broadcasters. Station managers and Indigenous broadcasters share their experiences on what's worked and reflect on how they've successfully transferred cultural protocols to day-to-day practice. They also discuss how Indigenous programming has increased their listener base, enriched their station, empowered local Indigenous people and, ultimately, benefited the entire community.
The CBF is encouraging all community radio stations around Australia that have a general community of interest to encourage and support Indigenous broadcasting. This is particularly important in communities that have a large Indigenous population. The Radio Nation DVD and fact sheets are being distributed to all general community radio stations. The video is also being distributed to dedicated Indigenous radio services to ensure their awareness of the project.
