Pioneering a Digital Radio Network in Guatemala
|
|
Radio reporter William Lopez, mentored by Knight Fellow Maria Martin, reports on a town that voted an unpopular mayor out of office.
|
Knight International helped radio stations serving indigenous rural communities in Guatemala to build NoticiasdemiGente.com, a Web site for sharing content. Led by Knight Fellow Maria Martin, rural radio reporters now can upload stories and disseminate them across the country.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Raised the quality of local news reports produced by rural journalists.
- Linked the radio stations via a digital platform, expanding the menu of programs reaching rural communities.
- Hosted a "convenio" (meeting) for reporters where they learned to communicate on the digital platform.
