Creation of online micro-courses for radio production
Student and community radio are facing many challenges in a fast changing world. A common challenge is to ensure high quality and accuracy of information and news produced by its broadcasters. Many do not realize the power of the tool they have in their hands and how it can affect, but also influence their audience, listeners and societies.
This project, driven by Studentradion i Sverige, LAB UAS and Turku UAS, aims to improve student/community radio broadcasting by providing an educational program for student and community radio broadcasters across the Nordics and Europe. We intend to create a free, short, easy to consume online micro-course for radio production, covering topics like responsible media production, community engagement and fact-checking.
The resulting micro-course will be a cost-effective and efficient tool for radio production training at the disposal of Nordic student and community radio, ultimately enhancing radio production in the Nordic region and Europe through network sharing, and accessible on Nordljud’s website.
Where are we now?
In the spring of 2024 we surveyed student and community radios in the Nordics. It helped the project to gather valuable information on how those organisations operate on a daily basis, their resources and challenges. The answers helped the partners to design the content of the micro-courses.
Over the last few months, journalism students from Turku UAS have worked extensively in creating the best content possible. The result will be a free, efficient, easy to consume online micro-course for radio production, covering topics like responsible media production, community engagement and fact-checking. The online micro-course will be set up on Google Classroom and will comprise podcasts, short lectures and quizzes. It will be free and accessible to everyone, ultimately enhancing radio production in the Nordic region, but also Europe.
Here you can listen to podcasts, produced by Turku UAS, that will be included in the course:
Nordic Podcast: The growing need for foreign language representation in the media scene
Nordic Podcast: Strategies for engaging listeners with you radio station
Nordic Podcast: Disinformation and its role in radio broadcasting
Nordic Podcast: Finding your own voice
Nordic Podcast: The future of fact-checking and combating disinformation
Nordic Podcast: Is there a place for a radio and where is a niche?
