EP88: Project #Vuselela - Rebuilding community radio by Rethinking community radio

--:--
If you’re a regular listener to The Doc and Guru Podcast then you will know that this show has always been a strong advocate for community media. No democracy can flourish unless it is grounded in a free and independent media – and a truly free and independent media must in turn be grounded in the community it serves.

In the past few weeks the vital role played by community media in facilitating open and balanced discourse has been brought into stark relief.
It is no coincidence that over 100 radio masts were destroyed. As well as a number of community radio stations.
But that is history.

This week on The Doc and The Guru Podcast we chat with Trinity Mohlamme and Blake Andrew about an exciting new initiative from the Abundant Media Group to start rebuilding the community radio sector.
With the generous support of LM Radio, advertisers like TOMS Music Shop, and major media industry players like the Nahana Communications Group and Park Advertising the #Vuselela initiative has begun the task of repairing the damage to the community radio sector.

If you would like to contribute or get involved in any way listen in this week to The Doc and the Guru podcast.
