This document discusses starting a DIY internet radio network called Radio Free Bones. It emphasizes building community through freeform radio, promoting the discovery of new music and voices, and providing media education. The network grew from 16 original shows to 70 shows between 2015-2017. Liveness is important for discovery, interaction and immediacy. The network hopes to expand through renovating space for workshops and live music. Essential tools for starting an internet radio station are discussed, including microphones, mixing boards, audio encoders, an internet connection and optional automation software.
- Radio programming in the late 1930s engaged the public in political and cultural issues. On average stations broadcast 12+ hours daily, with music making up 50-70% of content.
- Local stations aired a variety of live music. National broadcasts like Major Bowes' Amateur Hour launched unknown talents. Drama was also popular, emphasizing domestic life.
- Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation of "War of the Worlds" convinced many listeners it was real news and led the FCC to regulate scare programming. Radio became an important political tool, especially FDR's fireside chats.
Session delivered at SOMESSO London 2009 which maps an approach to community building that is participatory, organic, serendipitous and lives in the SAP Community Networks
The document summarizes the history of the music industry from 1900 to 2001 and the rise of digital distribution through Napster. It discusses how Napster allowed users to share files but was banned in 2001 for violating intellectual property rights. While Napster's userbase declined, other peer-to-peer networks emerged. The document outlines potential strategies for music companies in response to this shift, including developing their own online music services or taking legal action against peer-to-peer software. It concludes that music companies will see significant erosion of legal sales and should test consumer reaction to subscription services while continuing lawsuits against P2P networks.
The document discusses traditional and new media. It defines traditional media as non-electronic mediums like folk art, theatre, music and dance that transmit culture across generations. Some examples provided are Kathakali dance and Nautanki drama. It also discusses traditional art forms like painting, sculpture and music. The document then explains how new media like cable TV, the internet, smartphones and social media have converged different types of content onto single platforms and challenged traditional imperialism through industries like Indian film and TV. It provides examples like Zee TV and the BBC iplayer integrating with Facebook and Twitter.
The document summarizes a panel discussion on using traditional media like radio and television in nontraditional ways to shape public perception and drive social change. It discusses research on media coverage of poverty typically being episodic and portraying those in poverty as victims. It also outlines grants given to public radio stations to produce more sustained coverage through long-form documentaries. The panelists presented on their organizations' work partnering with foundations to produce content on social determinants of health and catalyze community health improvements.

A cut down version of these slides was presentation at Birmingham City University on 1st December and is also available on SlideShare, as is this pack broken into three due to file size.
Hyper-local media is growing in importance as consumption of local media changes with more use of the web. There is no single definition of hyper-local but it generally refers to media at a smaller geographical scale than traditional outlets, often seeking to serve local audiences in ways larger outlets do not. Key issues for hyper-local media include finding a proven business model, the rise of location-based and hyper-local advertising, and assessing the true size of local audiences.

Essay on Radio One
Radio is a way to send electromagnetic signals over a long distance, to deliver information from one place to another. A machine that sends radio signals is called a transmitter, while a machine that "picks up" the signals is called a receiver or antenna. A machine that does both jobs is a "transceiver". When radio signals are sent out to many receivers at the same time, it is called a broadcast.
The music market in the UK has changed significantly in recent years. Younger people aged 14-25 rarely buy CDs and no longer use record shops to purchase music. Many in this age group will only download music illegally or listen to music on their phones. While downloading is still preferred to streaming, the music industry is trying to prevent illegal downloading. New media technologies have given artists more freedom and control over how they market and distribute their music, bypassing the traditional record label system. This represents a major shift in how the music industry operates.

Philippine Mass Culture - shen_085609.pptxDianaSheine
Mass culture is a common culture experienced by large numbers of people through mass media like television, radio, movies, advertisements, books, magazines, newspapers and social media. It heavily influences Philippine culture today by exposing people to the same ideas, values and entertainment. While mass culture allows quick information sharing and entertainment, it has also negatively impacted outdoor activities and critical thinking. The unique Philippine mass culture is shaped by its history of Spanish and American colonization but retains local distinctiveness in media like music and television genres.
Pakistani dramas and talk shows have both positive and negative impacts on culture and society. Positively, they provide information and entertainment to viewers and create awareness of social issues. However, some dramas negatively influence customs by promoting practices like second marriages and fantasies that idealize suicide. Talk shows can raise awareness but can also spread bias if not fact-checked. Overall, electronic media shapes societal opinions and lifestyle, so regulations are needed to ensure programming aligns with local culture and values.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

wider recognition and gain cult status through repetitive low-cost
DIY touring."

1. At the beginning of the 20th century, over 10% of Americans were illiterate (about 7% in 1927) compared to less than half percent today (this refers to absolute illiteracy and doesn't rely on the 'literacy scale' which puts functional illiteracy in the US much higher (around 15%).
2. This is also a reason it was effective as a subversive tool, and still is in some countries
1. We will return to literacy later

We will get to the nuts and bolts things (mics, mixers, servers, etc.) later, but this is most important.
For me, it was a convergence of a few things:
1. My background as a live performer, and producer of live events. Spaces disappearing etc.
2. A long time interest in radio (story about dad's shortwave) and making things myself (newspaper,
Dukes of Hazzard film)
3. A real concern about Media Literacy (Hofstra students)

Challenge accepted!
I think when people say “community radio” they think of this – traditional model
When we say “community radio” we mean more like this (many artists, few listners)
a. We aren’t going for huge numbers, flip of traditional model
b. Community exists for the maker as much, if not more, than for the listeners
i. story of laughter from the basement with KT
We are not a megaphone, we are a stage. We’re not one person using an amplifier to reach
a lot of people. We are a lot of people standing on a stage for a few
d. Small audiences are ok. Small numbers are taboo in broadcasting. Typically, the idea was
to reach as many as possible, an idea that was driven by advertising. Large audiences
keep commercial radio on the air, and the programming reflected/reflects this.
Our idea is that the station is just a node.
1. Artists come, perform for a few, but each member of the audience is a netwok in itself.
2. I don’t like the idea of “using” social media, because radio IS social media, and cannot be untangled
from the current fabric of how messages and memes spread.
B. With new technologies, as much as they are giving us, we are losing this aspect of discovery
i. everything we consume, we choose. This is creating these “bubbles’ we keep hearing about.
a. This is most prominent in the current zeitgeist w/the “fake news” phenomenon
b. But also, algorithmic discovery, like Pandora, is NOT discovery
c. Esp. when it comes to music, our networks are important, but by this I mean HUMAN
HUMAN networks.
d. People talk about “using social media” to “promote” our shit, but at the end of the day, all this
is is HUMAN curation.
e. Mystery Girls on WERS in Boston was my social network – they were cool
i. At RFB, our emphasis is on LIVE broadcasting, with about 2/3 of our programming being live
ii. We don’t allow archiving shows until five days after broadcast for this reason
a. Incredible resistance at first. I was called a “crusty” old codger
b. My response
iii. The studio is a shared space also adds to the community – it’s a commons that we communally care
for. When hosts are out, they need to get others to cover their shows. They provide feedback at
community meetings.
iv. Most importantly, they hand off live listeners to each other
a. shows promoting each other. talking to live hosts as they come in.
b. For two seasons running, Sundays were our best days b/c we had 12 hours of b2b live shs
c. Cite Raymond Williams’ “Programming as Sequence or Flow”
d. Radio as performance. I encourage hosts to think of themselves as an act in a very long
play or performance. Thus, don’t be late, be a part of the pattern.
First, I think that liveness is intrinsic to radio. Otherwise you have a “podcast”
ii. I like podcasts, but REALLY hate the word, because it emphasizes this “self” ness (POD cast)
iii. Timeliness (news); Communication (call in); Imperfection (mistakes)
iv. For the hosts, there’s the sense that they are talking to someone in real time
a. Hard to get used to at first (talking to babies)
v. For listeners there’s an intimacy – a feeling that someone is talking to YOU
a. There is a PRESENCE that you cannot simulate
b. Interesting to me that our live shows do exponentially better than pre-records.
c. Even fans of bands want to hear them LIVE instead of pre-recorded.
Even just literacy is at a critical crossroads. Hofstra story. I could lead a movement of one to get young people reading again, but that’s not where we’re headed.
