This was following an alleged attempted armed robbery of shop on Tuesday evening at Sale. The offender allegedly fled in a stolen car, also occupied by a woman, and police took chase. Police Minister Lisa Neville said it was an "appalling" act, but improvements to the old analogue network were already planned. A $12 million fully encrypted system should be fully operational by mid-2018. The duo believed to be involved in the attempted robbery were pursued to the nearby town of Traralgon where the woman was arrested. A 21-year-old man was later arrested on the roof of a nearby shed.

Introduction Since 1999, researchers from Griffith University have undertaken national research on Australia’s community broadcasting sector. This research has involved two national projects. The first project (1999-2001) was station-based and was designed to gather data on the sector’s stations and participants. The second study (2003- ), currently underway is an audience-based study which has gathered qualitative data on community broadcasting audiences. This audience study, Australia’s Community Broadcasting Audiences Talk Back, is designed to complement the quantitative study of community broadcasting audiences completed by McNair Ingenuity (2004) and also to complete the circle of community radio stations and their audiences initiated by the first Griffith University study.

  • Public Hearings in Melbourne and Alice Springs – 20-21 July Tuning Into Community Broadcasting
    MEDIA ALERT Issued: 18 July 2006 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Chair – Jackie Kelly MP STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS, Deputy – Julie Owens MP INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE ARTS Public hearings in Melbourne and Alice Springs – 20-21 July Tuning into community broadcasting The key role that community radio and television broadcasting plays for ethnic, indigenous, vision impaired and regional areas will be discussed during public hearings held in Melbourne (20 July) and Alice Springs (21 July). These are the second hearings for the inquiry into community broadcasting being conducted by the Standing Committee on Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. In Melbourne, the Committee will hear from Channel 31 (C31), which is a not-for-profit television service providing locally-based entertainment, education and information targeting the many diverse communities within Victoria. A number of radio broadcasters will also appear to outline the vital services they provide to communities. Vision Australia operates a network of radio for the print handicapped stations in Victoria and southern NSW. The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council is the peak body representing ethnic broadcasters in Australia, and 3ZZZ is Melbourne’s key ethnic community broadcaster. Western Radio Broadcasters operates Stereo 974 FM in Melbourne’s western suburbs and 3KND is Victoria’s only indigenous community broadcaster. In Alice Springs, the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association operates 8KIN FM, and also a recording studio and television production company. PY Media and the Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association assist local and Indigenous groups to develop information services in remote communities. Radio 8CCC is a general community radio station broadcasting to Alice Springs and Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

We want to broaden the community aspect of community radio by supporting local stations to create an environment in which young people not only have the opportunity to broadcast but can get involved in all areas of the station and the sector. We can do this by working together to cultivate a culture of participation, access, diversity, innovation and independence for young people in their local community radio station. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GETTING YOUNG PEOPLE INVOLVED IN YOUR STATION? There are so many! But here are just a few to start.... For the station... young voices provide freshness, alternate perspectives and variety to your program grid. Plus, further youth engagement creates the opportunity to tap in to new audiences and open up to different sections of your community For the young people...the opportunity to participate in community radio heightens confidence, communication skills and a sense of empowerment and belonging.

  • A Handbook for Youth Empowerment Through Media Participation
    A Handbook for Youth Empowerment Through Media Participation Based on a project co-designed and co-delivered by the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC), The Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and SYN Media in association with Radio Adelaide Training By Rachael Bongiorno from the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council 2012. Photo of participants, trainers and project partners in SYN Media studio. All photos in this report were taken by Khalid Omar 2 Introduction Engagement with media is crucial for young people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds. It provides an opportunity for CALD youth to express themselves in a society in which their perspectives are often marginalised, stereotyped or ignored. This handbook shows you how to develop a training program to equip culturally diverse young people who are not yet involved in broadcasting with the skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and networks for ongoing participation in the media. We particularly want to encourage radio stations to deliver programs like this in collaboration with community organisations servicing migrant and refugee young people. The handbook can also be used by government, community groups and private organisations in the same way. Mercy Ngun Ceu With Australia’s mainstream media, coming into sharp criticism recently for not representing the cultural diversity of this country , training projects such as this are important as ever to diversify media in Australia, increase the number of CALD journalists and provide the public with an understanding of diverse experiences and perspectives. The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC) is acutely aware that culturally diverse young people are not just underrepresented in the mainstream media but underrepresented in community broadcasting as well.
