Community Radio's Voice Gets Louder
So Does Interference coming from governments that are
wary about their growing strength. In recent years,
political change in countries like Indonesia and
Thailand has given local communities more room to make
use of state-controlled frequencies and to gain more
space in an increasingly commercial media environment.

Using the Media: Getting Population and Reproductive
Health into the Pacific Media (Preview Booklet)

The media are crucial in getting across messages about
population and reproductive health issues. In a number
of Pacific Island countries, for example, research
shows that the radio is by far the most common way for
women to hear about family planning. Media are also
important for raising the profile of an issue and
building support for change. This booklet looks at
ways of getting free publicity _ in the news, in
letters columns or as a guest on a talk show. Although
the examples are from the areas of reproductive health
and population, the booklet will be just as useful to
those working on other issues. Secretariat of the
Pacific Community with funding from UNFPA, 1999.
