Citizen News

Today, I'm going to talk about one of my activities. I work in the Radio Juan Gómez Millas, of ICEI, doing the Noticiero Ciudadano, or Citizen News, for his translation. Is a radio program, where we give the news and informations, with the characteristic of this is news of organizations and social movements, and not follow the guide of the mass media.

The Noticiero Ciudadano is transmitted of Monday to Thursday, between one o’clock and half past one in the evening (half hour of program), by the Radio JGM and the others community radio stations all over the country. It’s have a team of eleven reporters, all are journalist students of ICEI. They do the news for the program. I’m the producer and editor.

This News was born then of the earthquake to 2010. We gather for report, where other vision, the news of the reconstruction. This has been a good experience, because we give place to other voices, not present in the mass media, as victims, students, ONG’s, assemblies, environmentalists, indigenous, sexual minorities, for example.

The last year, our main theme to report was the student movement. We cover all the marchs and actions of the students; it was a great informative job.
