Abstract:
Man got civilized with exchange of information and freedom of expression among groups and masses over the period of time. The mainstream media especially public service broadcaster has tried to reach maximum socially and geographically in the country but did not reach to local expectation of the community and that’s why community radio came into existence as an alternative media. Whatever happens, happens for good, now, government realized the need of community radio within the geography and started allocating spectrum to the need base community so that community becomes responsible and accountable to each other including governments and empowered the community to get participative & live life democratically.
The radio today, is the effective source of information but to most of us it is a passion to get participative in the community at a large. India is a multi dimensional country in terms of population, culture, religion, ethnicity, perception and belief systems, therefore, the terrain of some of the areas is difficult, making them almost inaccessible and by far cut off from the mainstream and similar could be the case of community radios within the capacity limit. Therefore, Akashvani(AIR) has had the challenge of reaching out to even far flung of regions, hence both public service broadcaster and alternate media seems to be at a nascent yet promising and prospective stage, ripe of proper documentation and development of global tools and processes in this digital world. For now, integration remains an ad-hoc and highly individual enterprise. It is important to continue to document and share need based success & failure approach of public service broadcaster and community radios to enable successful adoption of new incarnations by community radio stations.

A large scale study of daily information needs captured in situWookjae Maeng
The goal of this work is to provide a fundamental understanding of the daily information needs of people through a large-scale, in-depth, quantitative investigation. To this end, we have conducted one of the most comprehensive studies of information needs to date, spanning a 3-month period and involving more than 100 users. The study employed a contextual experience sampling method, a snippet-based diary technique using SMS technology, and an online Web diary to gather in situ insights into the types of needs that occur from day to day, how those needs are addressed, and how contextual, technological, and demographic factors impact on those needs. Our results not only complement earlier studies but also provide a new understanding of the intricacies of people’s daily information needs.

Awakening the voiceless, Capitalising on nineteen years of Swiss Cooperation ...regiosuisse
The media, when used effectively, promotes awakening and open-mindedness in communities, as well as strengthening civil society in citizen watchdog missions, and public au-thorities in their mission to provide public services. For this purpose, the media plays an important role in changing behaviour in respect to gender equality, health, education, agricultural practices and adapting to climate change. It also contributes to the consolidation of democracy, economic development, to the fight against poverty and simply to citizens’ welfare, not to mention its role in peacekeeping and so-cial justice.
This research explores the present status of the CR in India in the initial sections. But the main focus has been given on the innovative practices of the community radios scattered in nook and corner of the country. Emphasis has also given to classify the possible innovations in the sector and a list of areas on innovation has been identified. This
endeavor would open up new paths to create a robust community radio environment in the country.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

18. 1] Molding the polis through the community radio
A community radio is an institution for information with the
vocation of letting the community receive the necessary
information, the information that is important for its conviviality,
for its interaction, it is an institution that creates an opportunity
for the people to interact with one another and with other
people at the international level .
19. 2] Users’ edutainment experience with the radio
In the radio what I like the most are informative programs, as
for example programs about sport, about information of what
happens at the local level, as well as at the national and the
international level, I also like more programs for children, other
programs as music ones, I like entertainment in this case.
20. 3] Learning informatics at the telecentre
It is important because we learn to know what a computer
is, we learn computer programs, we study the computer as
well, but it is much more a honor for Xinavane, we now
know that we have informatics courses.
23. Most of all about agriculture… which is the official period
to seed, which is the one to harvest, what is going to happen
to the fields, what the farmers has to prepare for the field to be
productive… how the global change will be… it was difficult
to have this information before
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
24. The community radio has educational programs, and also
the part about news. The news are at an international level.
When they broadcast, everyone pays attention, because they
have programs in Portuguese and programs in the Makwa
language, so the communities understand very well.
[Radio & Telecentre user]
25. Usually I listen to the programs for children, a program
called Mikitxe Txuhalake Mokwa. This program is about…
when someone does not understand something, they can
call to the program and say they don t understand that thing,
and the program informs them.
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
26. Because I think it s a learning centre […] It is worth doing, from
here they come out as professionals that will serve this
country .
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
By volunteering people learnt that volunteering is a good
thing, because they learn a job. It encouraged young people
to have the will of working.
[Staff member]
28. Many people did not know what is a computer.
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
I did homeworks for the school, because I don t have Interent
at home, so I have to find a place to surf to do some research
for myassignments”.
