The
importance of providing new channels for Arab voices will be the focus
of the second annual Community Media Conference for the Arab World,
Aswatona 2013, to be held in the Egyptian capital Cairo 25-28 February
and involving over 100 Arab community broadcasters and online media
activists.
The conference has been organised
by Amman-based Community Media Network and UK-based Community Media
Solutions in association with UNESCO and the World Association of
Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC). The event is supported by the
Swedish Agency for International Development (SIDA) and the British
Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Daoud Kuttab,
director general of Community Media Network says the conference aims at
hearing media experiences from the Arab world, exchanging ideas and
assessing the legal and administrative environment for community
broadcasting: "In the past year we have helped establish seven community
radio stations and we have produced legal studies on the media laws in
various Arab countries."
