Community Radio is playing a vital role in South Asian countries along with the world and Bangladesh is not far behind in this movement of right to information.
The Community Radio installation, broadcast and management policy 2008 has been formulated by the information ministry of Bangladesh, and we thank the government for it. Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication, since its inception - has been in dialogues with the government along with other organizations, on establishing community radios in Bangladesh. After 12 years of earnest efforts, 15 community radio stations are now carrying out their broadcasts in the country and are strengthening the voice of the terminal population through ensuring their right to information. For the poor people of Bangladesh, the state is a distant entity that is hard to reach and even harder to exchange opinions.
Similarly, the people within the low-income community do not listen to each other’s stories. Prosperity, expansion and strengthening of community radio can increase availability of information, and thus play a crucial role in poverty alleviation. The third target of the millennium development goal (MDG) is gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Taking ownership and participation in information technology as examples, it is clear that gender discrimination in use of technology is massive. The scenario is even worse in the broadcast sector. Since community radios are now operational and if the issue is taken seriously from the beginning, then gender equality can be ensured in the administrative, management, program and financial planning departments in running a community radio.
The target of publishing the guideline formulated by The World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC)-Women International Network Asia is to create mass awareness among entrepreneurs in private and public sectors in eliminating gender discrimination in community radio program broadcasting.
I hope that community radio initiators will follow this gender guideline while making a gender guideline for their own stations, and will follow them, to bring gender equality in broadcasting programs on community radio in Bangladesh.
Let community radio be the tool for development for the deprived populace. Finally, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to European Union and Free Press Unlimited for helping publish the 3rd edition Community Radio Station Gender Guideline 2015.

Community radio can be an effective mechanism for community education in Bangladesh. It provides lifelong learning opportunities through various educational programs on topics like health, agriculture, and disaster preparedness. Community radio stations involve local communities in content production and aim to disseminate knowledge while addressing cognitive and affective factors to facilitate behavioral changes. There are currently 16 operational community radio stations in Bangladesh reaching over 5.5 million people, with plans to launch 16 more stations. Challenges include ensuring programming has practical objectives and economic significance based on community needs and available resources.
1. Bangladesh currently lacks a comprehensive Broadcasting Policy to regulate its growing broadcast media landscape which now includes over 10 TV channels and radio stations.
2. A Broadcasting Policy is needed to promote culture and values, ensure economic interests and national sovereignty, and make sure media fulfills social responsibilities, while also protecting freedom of expression.
3. The policy should maximize the positive impacts of media and minimize negative impacts. It should provide guidelines around content, ownership rules to prevent monopolies, and address consumer complaints. Having one overall policy is preferable to separate laws for different media types.
Background: Radio and television are two strong mass media in the present world. Due to
the technological development, programs of many international media are now available
in Bangladesh with the help of satellite technology. All the radio and television of modern
world air/broadcast creative programs from other sources in addition to their own
productions. This trend helps create a competitive platform for producing creative and
quality programs. Beside radio and television, online newspaper and radio and television
have also gained popularity among common people.
This drill set involves the marching of flags in three rows that leave and arrive on specific counts.
The back row of flags should leave on count 1 and arrive on count 24. The middle row should leave on count 2 and arrive on count 12. The front row should leave on count 3 and arrive on count 6.
Community radio stations provide essential services to local communities but face challenges in maximizing their impact. They must enhance broadcasters' skills in areas like digital technologies and integrating STEAM subjects into programming while avoiding online risks. Stations also need to accelerate ICT applications to benefit communities, introduce new formats like fact-checking and mobile journalism, and take a "training plus" approach to build multi-generational reach and sustain their role in serving the public interest.
The document discusses the history and evolution of community radio around the world from the experimental period in the 1900s-1940s to the current resurgence period from the 1990s to today. It then focuses on community radio in Bangladesh, highlighting strategies for women's empowerment, child development, and an inclusion strategy. Finally, it outlines requirements for community radio broadcasting to build a sustainable society, including focusing on capabilities, re-skilling broadcasters, using social media and websites, and using new formats and technologies like mobile journalism, infographics, and emerging technologies.
Journalists face unprecedented challenges covering COVID-19 accurately, fairly, and safely. They must verify facts, check sources, and combat misinformation on social media. Their stories must be based on truth and science, not opinions or speculation. Media should focus more on affected communities through an equity lens, help people adapt to the new normal, and accelerate use of technology. They must revisit ensuring timely, reliable information reaches the public to counter "infodemics" and support livelihoods. Further focus is needed on media guidelines for COVID-19, protecting journalists, pandemic reporting skills, and vaccine education.
The document discusses the role of community radio stations in Bangladesh in providing information to communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines objectives to animate collaboration between organizations and communities to maintain normal daily life and livelihoods during the initial response phase from March to May 2020. It then discusses adapting programming to build community resilience and cope with the "new normal" from June 2020 onward. Challenges facing community radio stations due to lost revenue are also described, as well as calls for government support to empower rural communities through a COVID-19 crisis fund, public health campaigns, and ensuring access to an existing social fund.
The document discusses the role of community radio stations in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes how stations developed awareness programs from March to May 2020 to protect lives and livelihoods. The objectives were to coordinate response efforts between organizations and keep daily life and livelihoods functioning. Moving forward, the focus is on building resilience and using technology to benefit communities. However, challenges increased as resources decreased due to cancelled advertising, grants, and other income sources. The document calls for government support through a COVID-19 crisis fund, using community radio for information campaigns, and ensuring access to a social obligatory fund to help stations remain viable in responding to disasters.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that her government is trying its best to provide support and mitigate hardship for unattended and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 outbreak. She noted that there is a large population outside of societal attention currently and the government is trying various ways to minimize their suffering. The document outlines three principles for shaping responses to crises: viewing responses through an equity lens; focusing on enhancing people's capabilities; and following a coherent multidimensional approach. It also discusses roles for broadcasters during COVID-19 such as building knowledge, amplifying trusted information, increasing collective action, and exercising safety and security measures.

Ministry of Information, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has announced New Community Radio Installation Broadcast and Operation Policy 2017 by Bangladesh Gazette on 8 February 2018.
According to the preamble of Bangladesh Gazette, At the age of the enormous development of science and information technology the world turns to be a ‘Global Village’. It has been assumed that the importance of radio has declined at the age of the global domination of electronic media but in reality, the importance of radio hasn’t decreased in developed, developing & least developed countries. Moreover, radio is playing the vital role by its new initiatives of creative programming to develop education, culture, humanitarian values, and awareness for the cross-section of people of the society. In continuation of these realities, a number of community radios have been installed which are dedicated to the different grass root communities and population of the society of Bangladesh.
These radio stations, known as community radio have been operating in local dialects of the peripheral communities, and with their participation and management. Community Radios are engaged with the help of modern knowledge and technology to bring positive change in the society by local folk culture.
