Community Radio - Dr. Acharya (2015)

Community Radio: Concepts and Practices in Nepal

Suresh Acharya, Ph.D.

Abstract:

Radio broadcasting has proved an effective media in countries like Nepal, where majority of people are illiterate, economically poor and live in remote areas. Radio broadcasting is still the only means of mass communication for many to get information, entertainment and education. In this context, the invention of FM technology has brought revolution in the field of radio broadcasting. Furthermore, the emergence of the concept of community radio broadcasting has provided an immense opportunity for community people to own radio broadcasting, gain participation in news and program-production and independently run radio stations for the welfare of their community. But, this research has found the situation of community radio broadcasting in Nepal is not as optimistic, as many community radio stations either lack the competencies to run radio stations under this concept or they have an obligation to make money for survival instead of adopting non-profit motive of community radio. This article also tries to distinguish community radio and commercial radio, that is often seen intermingled with each other.

Keywords: community, commercial, FM radio, radio broadcasting, license, transmitter, radio programme.

Mediating Dalit Human Rights in Nepal - Nepali (2015)

Mediating Dalit Human Rights in Nepal:
A Principled Stance for Media

Mohan Nepali

---

Abstract:

Nepali Dalits have a population of 3.6 million as of March 2015. Their nominal presence, in decision-making processes over decades, reflects their extreme marginalization and exclusion. A mere superficial reporting of a few visible incidents does not create required pressures for stakeholders. There exists an utter lack of human rights perspectives in media coverage of Dalit human rights in Nepal. This article aims to discuss that a principled stance for Nepali media to mediate Dalit human rights is to base their coverage on the global human rights treaties, the domestic constitutional provisions and the social responsible theory of media. Dalits' civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights deserve an equitable space and attention of media for a just society.

Keywords: Nepal, Dalits, marginalized, human rights, media, freedom, equality, brotherhood.

What is MA MCJ ?

MA MCJ (Master of Arts in Mass Communication and Journalism) is a four semester graduate program of Purbanchal University (PU). It is under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the university. 

Master's degree in Mass Communication and Journalism started in 2001 at the following institutions:

1. Under the Purbanchal University (PU), two private colleges viz. Kantipur City College (KCC), Putalisadak and College of Mass Communication and Journalism (CJMC) started MA MCJ degree.
2. Under the Tribhuvan University (TU), Ratna Rajya Campus started Masters degree in Journalism and Mass Communication.

Almost at the same time these three colleges started the course. PU started it in a 4-semester system while TU started the degree in 2-year system. But very recently in 2015, TU has switched to a 4-semester system.

MA MCJ at KCC is run by the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, under the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and is devoted to graduate teaching and research in vivid fields of mass communication, journalism, and social sciences.

It offers a graduate degree to respond to the phenomenal growth of the mass media in Nepal and the need for competent, trained, professionals equipped with the latest knowledge in ICT sector. 

The subject-based modules of the program arm the students with theoretical information, and the practical research work equips them with real professional talents. 

This program is useful for both fresh graduates and working journalists.
