Maria Pia Matta is the president of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, which represents 5,800 media.
What differentiates a community radio commercial?
associative radios are operated by local community and its editorial position in the interests of that community. Are nonprofit entities, it does not mean giving losses but the resources are reinvested in the association itself.
What about commercial radio?
community radio in commercial radio think there should be, because those stations have given identity to this continent. Acknowledge their efforts in our region, we are not opposed to them, but we want to defend the space that we deserve in the radio spectrum.
How many of these could be calculated in Latin America?
Miles, one born everyday. AMARC has 550 partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, but if we go only to the case of Brazil, might have some 6,000 community radio stations. How
comes the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC)?
born in 1983 in Canada and now has a presence on five continents, with some 5,800 partner radio stations in order to defend the democratization of communications and access to the media to democratize society.
What threatens freedom of expression in community radio in Latin America?
Censorship applies not only direct way by saying what can and can not say, but it drives the lack of recognition that stations have in some countries. Poor legislation that protects broadcasters, as in the case of Chile, Colombia and Brazil that have restrictions on community radio. In addition, lack of resources to sustain long term, resources that should be promoted by the state. Governments must look at what is happening in Argentina and Uruguay, which have advanced significantly with grades of optimal reach and respect freedom of expression.
And in the case of Colombia?
impulses in Colombia was a few years ago for community radio, but need more funding and attention to radio as the Indians, who have reported threats by military actors. It is clear that in Colombia there is an exacerbation of the concentrated ownership of media killings of journalists are also difficult to express what they want. In the last year we received threats on some communities of Cauca and so we issued an international emergency alert together with Reporters Without Borders, who work daily in adverse environments like Colombia or Honduras.
What are community radio stations reasons to celebrate the Day of Freedom of Expression?
For much of the twentieth century was understood that freedom of expression was a support of the owners of the media and journalists, but today we celebrate the expansion of the concept that freedom of expression is also citizens and social actors appropriate the media.
How Latin America which has been the role of community radio in social development?
since they were born more than 50 years, have played a key role in literacy. In the 70's and 80's dictatorships in Latin America convulsed with freedom and coercion in the post-dictatorship community radio played a key role in memory retrieval, the claim of public liberty, the place of women in power . The radio has recovered and native Indian languages \u200b\u200bthat were dying and in extreme situations such as natural disasters, radio Community has been instrumental as a company and as a means of bringing people to aid. Radio Tierra
founded in Santiago de Chile, what does that mean the onset of 20 years ago?
manage this idea as an open and independent radio Radio Tierra is a broad who speaks on various sectors. We left the air after the Pinochet dictatorship ended and brought items that were silenced for twenty years as abortion and domestic violence.
"Democracy depends on the media?
