Cafe - a place to socialize and discuss other topics

Greetings colleagues,

Hello Busi and our other facilitators!

Colleagues, Hhhmm i have come to realize that broadcasting is really a very enjoyable occupation!! I try to get out of it but i find myself not going!! But i will go, i am getting tired somehow…huhuhuhu. I wish you all good and healthy discussion over the four weeks… on “Collaboration”. Let us encourage so many of our colleagues to join the discussion. This is a very good opportunity to train where we ourselves cannot train or be trained.

See you then.

Regards,

Sarah.

Hey Sarah @smawerere

Are you sure you can get out? It is not easy, even if you get out of the radio station, you will realise that media is your calling and will still enjoy media projects.

Someone help me out on this, Is there any specific time to be online for this 4 weeks e-discussion? If yes what time?

Hi Mike @MikeKuwoye

There is no specific time to be online. What is important is participation so you login and contribute on topics. This week is about introductions. From next week we will have other different topics to discuss.

Is it possible to have a “Sponsorship Data” for Farm Radio members?
This allows those who listen online free access to listen without their data being deducted even with video. Information must spread to the most remote sites.

Hello @assparadio

Thank you for your question. Please note that I have moved your question to the Cafe where we can discuss anything else besides the topic at hand. I understand that sponsorship may be somehow related but for Week 1 we are still busy with introductions.

Your question is on getting sponsorship data for Farm Radio members to cover those listening online to have free access. I am still going to refer you to the country office, I believe @bfiafor might be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks for the response. The sponsorship data will be a good idea.

Nothing in my inbox yesterday. Did I miss some conversations yesterday? Keep me up to date.
Kind regards

They always say ‘better late than never’. I am glad you made it.

Thanks Rehema

We all play an important role here. Without the participants, there would be no discussion.

I am also looking forward to the wonderful meals that will be cooked here.

Thank you for the response. Iam requesting the country offices to let us know as we begin the second week.

Hello @Rashid

We are already in Week 2 and there are two topics to contribute in, Week 2A and Week 2B.

Hey everyone here! Yes Busi, i will get out of mainstream media. Getting tired and at times i find myself not progressing well in my career. Better to try out other things-that’s if other things are found!!.Hehehehehe. I wish you all good deliberations in week 2. Hhhmm this enjoyable broadcasting field…

Mawerere, in actual fact I agree with you that media may be a frustrating job-sometimes. But if you know how many lives you have touched through your work you will really thank God. In these days of the global village made possible by I.T.s I don’t even think of the so-called mainstream as far as media is concerned. I think more of effective reach to farmer audiences. When I collaborate with folksingers in the rural areas my radio messages on aspects of farming are really drummed out far and wide. The so-called mainstream should not discourage you. You will only need the freedom to be at your best, especially if funds are easy to come by though collaboration.
