English
By: Theodora Tsentas
"Of course I'm a goddamn journalist", Julian Assange snapped when asked if he considered himself such at the News World Summit in Hong Kong the day after WikiLeaks was awarded the Australian Walkley Award for outstanding contribution to journalism. Despite the award and Assange's vehement insistence of belonging to the world of journalism, many within the establishment still view the whistle-blowing website and its founder as outliers.
Miranda July, It Chooses You
English
Appearing on stage at the Ukrainian Federation of Montreal, Miranda July stands in front of the microphone dressed in emerald green stockings, short black tie and beige jacket that all but covers a skirt. On a teenager, the ensemble could look a little awkward - even rebellious - but this quirky, bright-coloured style has now come to boldly define the Berkely-raised writer, director, actress and performance artist.
AMARC10 conference closes – Haitian community radios win solidarity prize
English
By: Arne Hintz
The tenth global conference of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters ended on Saturday 13 November with an open air concert and the award ceremony of the sixth AMARC solidarity price which is awarded every four years for particular achievements by community radios. The price was given to the Haitian community radio networks for their important role in supporting victims and survivors of the disastrous February 2010 earthquake.
The closing ceremony was held in Moron in the outskirts of Buenos Aires where a detention center for political prisoners was located during the military dictatorship, and where today a memorial site reminds visitors of the disappearances, torture and murder by the military regime in the 1970s and 80s. In introducing the award, outgoing AMARC President Steve Buckley highlighted the persistent prosecution of community radio activists, for example after the recent military coup in Honduras. The new AMARC President María Pía Matta called for solidarity and for deepening the social impact of community radio.
