Let’s look at some examples.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

How does this translate to community radio?

How else can you ask the community to participate? How else can you ask them to become involved and invested?

slide-25
SLIDE 25

What if community members could:

❏ donating code or participating in a hackathon ❏ donating design skills ❏ tagging an archive ❏ digitizing an archive ❏ designing a template or poster for a member station ❏ helping out at an event ❏ user testing ❏ putting together a documentary with your classmates

slide-26

What will this look like? Here’s a sample task a station could post.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Create opportunities for people to become ambassadors for a station.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Creating ways for people to explore the physical space of a station.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Create frameworks for communities to be more deeply connected to each

  • ther using the station as a hub or

platform.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Incentivize stations to collaborate and share content and/or code.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

SLIDE 33

We must think about what it means to be a member and be able to articulate that to audiences who might never listen through a radio.

slide-34
SLIDE 34

We must work in public.

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Above all: We must think about and learn from the user, the audience, the listener, the person, and the public.
