www.radiomundoreal.fm
(in spanish and portuguese)
real world radio is an initiative that
mixes radio and new internet tools to enable
communication between the diverse array of
individuals, groups and social organizations
trying to break through the information
"wall" set up by the mainstream media
reporting on the WTO.
real world radio is a joint initiative of
Friends of the Earth International
(www.foei.org) and Asociación Mundial de
Radios Comunitarias (www.amarc.org). The
objective is to show the impacts of trade
liberalisation, and, at the same time, to
show there are thousands of ways for
communities to resist transnational
corporations.
In Cancún real world radio will cover the
official agenda of the WTO negotiations and,
in addition, will focus on the wide variety
of civil society mobilizations in the first
fifteen days of September. This programming
will be available in spanish, portugese and
in english, and will be broadcast by many of
the 300 radios that are part of AMARC in
Latin America and the Caribbean.
