COMMUNICATION FOR SOCIAL CHANGE Winning the argument, but what about the practice?
Get PDFIn this article, James Deane outlines how the Communication for Social Change Consortium (CFSC) is developing a network to address obstacles to more effective implementation of communication for social change programming, particularly increasing the capacity and expertise to implement effective programmes on the ground
NORA CRUZ QUEBRAL: WRITER AND THINKER PAR EXCELLENCE
Get PDFWriting about Dr. Nora Cruz-Quebral, writer par excellence and pioneer of development communication in Asia, is one big hurdle as the prospect of your article not earning her smile of approval looms as a possibility. She would not have graduated with a BA in English magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines in1950 without basis. Writing has always been one of her forte, alongside her ability for sharp, critical analysis and conceptual thinking. It was this foresight and her sharp analysis of developments during her time that made her pioneer the development communication academic programs at the University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB) in the early to mid-70s
TEACHING AND LEARNING COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT A perspective from Canada
Get PDFWhen the television-viewing public in Canada finally decided who qualified as the “Greatest Canadian” they picked a man whose name is unknown outside of Canada. Unlike Winston Churchill or Ronald Reagan who topped the British and American lists respectively, Tommy Douglas was our national hero. Once considered a radical socialist, Douglas not only promoted but realized our most important social services in Canada including universal health care, pensions for senior citizens and mothers’ allowances. During an era preoccupied with the Soviet Union/USA struggle, Douglas also urged Canada to promote human rights and antiwar interventions globally. From the 1940s through to his death in 1986 his work was political as well as imminently practical. Canada, Tommy Douglas explained, had to be based on principles of civil liberty for all with an appreciation of its heritage of multiculturalism
THE RISK OF AIDS. Coping strategies among young people in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
Get PDFThe last two decades have shown that the battle against the AIDS epidemic is much more difficult to win than first anticipated. This fact has intensified the public debate on HIV/AIDS, which has become much more vociferous both at the international and national levels. It is striking, however, that the intense rhetoric among policy makers and opinion leaders at both the donor and the recipient side has not been reflected by nearly the same kind of debate among the people most concerned, particularly young people in the early stage of their sexual life. Even though their lives and future are threatened, HIV/AIDS remains largely unspoken. According to this study, there seems to be a discrepancy between the outspoken rhetoric at a global level and the ‘silence’ among young men and women
LIFE OF TRAGEDIES. A discussion of the production of a radio soap opera for HIV/AIDS prevention in Yunnan, China
Get PDFOnly a small brook separates Luliang, a village in China’s remote Yunnan province, inhabited by the Jingpo minority, from neighbouring Burma, the world’s second largest heroin producer. The area is close to the infamous ”Golden Triangle” region, bordering Burma, Thailand and Laos. Burmese traffickers sell drugs cheaply along the long porous border with China
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT IN NEPAL. An evaluation of the Digital Broadcast Initiative
Get PDFI arrived in Nepal on January 7, 2004 to carry out an evaluation of the 18- month pilot project Digital Broadcast Initiative , designed and implemented by Equal Access in conjunction with UNDP-Southeast Asia. For almost three months, I met and interviewed listeners, partners and initiators of the Digital Broadcast Initiative (DBI). I was granted a scholarship from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) to carry out the study. Equal Access provided me with a working space in their offices in central Katmandu but did not, as agreed, pay me to develop the study. The both friendly and competent staff of Equal Access -Nepal warmly welcomed me. Thanks to their and their San Francisco-based colleagues’ generosity with time and effort, I was able to make this study, which helped me understand more of the particularities and generalities of development communication

HIV AND AIDS IN UGANDA AND SERBIA
Get PDFEvery publication that adds to the current debate about HIV/AIDS communication in the mass media agrees on one thing: communication is a crucial part in promoting prevention, as well as treatment, voluntary counselling and testing.But what is it that makes for successful, effective communication? And how can the people producing it be helped to achieve it? What are the lessons to be learnt from those countries that have seen some success in HIV/AIDS communication, and how can they be passed on to others? I hoped to explore these questions by looking at AIDS communication in two very different countries: Uganda and Serbia. I chose to examine both the context in which media is produced by talking to media professionals and the product, reviewing content that focused on HIV/AIDS in newspapers, TV and radio [i]
