Community media is media that is operated by, for, and about a community. It aims to give community members a voice and promote participation, ownership, and accountability. In Maldives, community media could empower communities by addressing local issues, disseminating important information like during natural disasters, and supporting livelihoods like fishing. It works as a tool for development by facilitating co-learning, sharing best practices, and guiding community empowerment through skills development and promoting local talent.

Infodemic is the information pandemic during the COVID-19 Crisis. With a sea of misinformation flooded around the novel coronavirus, these days have been painted as the time of fake news and rumours on the social media. Fake news is information deliberately fabricated and published with the intention to deceive and mislead others into believing falsehoods or doubting verifiable facts. A report of Council of Europe describes that there are three types of information disorder, namely, misinformation, disinformation and mal-information. Literally, there is a thin line difference between all these terms. Fake news is the umbrella term that unifies all these types of information disorder.
This presentation of Dr Anamika Ray Memorial Trust tells about a few important information on COVID-19 or Novel Corona Virus and also informs about the myths on this pandemic. This presentation is made to create awareness among the people.

Science communication in Assam is not a new issue to discuss; it gained ground from the era of Pre-Orunodoi era, but still struggling to establish itself as an active agent in the Assamese public forum. Along with a section of media, both print and electronic; a few media institutions are yet choking a plan to start science communication courses in their curriculum. This lecture enumerates the historical perspective of science communication in Assam, tracing the journey of science journalism as well as science popularization through the medium starting from print media like magazines, newspapers to electronic media like radio and television. The lecture, though studies the science communication in the context of Assam, is mainly set on the background of three eras taking the publication of ‘Orunodoi’ in 1846 in the region as the benchmark categorizing into Pre-Orunodoi era, Orunodoi era and Post-Orunodoi eras. The lecture has clarified the stance that it has taken in its further study about the growing of science and technology communication in Assam as the oldest bearer. Though, available history shows that the growth of science communication in India sprung from the late eighteenth century, it adds that the growth of science communication and the importance to scientific temper and practices in Assam is as old as fifteenth century during the Vaishnavite movement.
One more era has been added to these categories, which perhaps have shown the flourishing of science communication across the country is Post-Independence epoch. The lecture further explores the post-independence era that shows the rise of science communication in Assam highlighting some new areas of science communication occupying the spaces of magazines and newspapers. It also deals with the reflection that coverage of science-related news is comparatively higher in Assam than any other states of the country, though in recent years, Assam has shown a declining rate of this coverage in newspapers and magazines, especially in case of vernacular dailies.
The lecture further elucidates the issues of concern that stands as the barrier for the growth of science communication and lack of attention towards science-related issues in the newspapers and other forms of media at large. It specifically focuses on the issues of accessibility of media in the rural areas, a need of special attention of science stories differentiating it from other forms of stories, lack of science journalists making the task of reporters in other beats tougher, allocation of space for science-related issues mostly getting skipped and the failure of generating interest for science news among the general readers.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Understanding Community
• What dictionaries define--.
• A group of people living in the same place or having a
particular characteristic in common (OUP)
• Montreal’s Italian community
• the gay community in London
• the scientific community
• A particular area or place considered together with its
inhabitants

3. Who is a community?
• A social unit of any size

political, economic, religious, cultural, or virtual
4. Understanding Community
Defining the term community is a complex concern,
with various diverging perspectives and outlooks.
How can we define the term 'community' in a
simplest yet most comprehensive way?
As we try to understand the term with a slightly
different approach it’s observed ‘community’
comprises of two distinct yet intricately imbibed
phrases- Common and Unity
(Common + Unity = Community)
http://comcomm.blogspot.in/
5. Understanding Community
Commons, simply refers to people or masses
Unity stands for the state or feature of being one, uniformity, being
in accord, harmony with one another or towards a particular
cause.
So, Community is a group of people with unification of some
specific genre, may be geographical, political, economic, cultural,
identity real or virtual.
For example, a Facebook or other social network’s community is
a virtual community. Similarly, the concept 'C3' finds its bases
primarily on geographical community. But it may also be identified
with socio-cultural identity!

Community media in all its various forms is inseparably linked to the enhancement of the civic society and civic participation …..,
Community media originate, aculeate and resonate from the sphere of civil society”.
Community media has a vital and imperative role in today’s development cycle.
No doubt, Community media played the most vibrant role in recent changes and developments emerged in different parts of the world.
The different forms of community media have always helped civic society to raise their voice for the common interests and benefits.
At the time of TV, Radio and Newspaper, it was mostly one side communication, the flow of information was mostly one sided – from media center to civic society.
With the emergence of new tools as e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, blogs etc, the dimensions and horizon of community media has been changed.
Mobile phone even enhanced the conversation and communication in public sphere.
Ownership- FM and Pvt media vs comm media
Mainstream media have their priority to earn profit.
Media started as mission- profession- fashion – creation
C3- crime, cricket and cinema

Public has no role to participate in the decision making process in the public or private media
Agenda setting role
Content generation- community produces/ CLP

It is also linked to financial support and technological support otherwise it distracts community radio practitioners from dedicating - AMARC 2007
