In this module we will cover:
Why is a public health programme series a good idea? What can it give us?
In this module you will learn:
Why is a public health programme series a good idea? What can it give us? Before moving into the development of the programme series itself, it is good to get the background definitions in place. We are here operating with ‘Community media’, with ‘Media and Information Literacy’ and with ‘Public Health’.
This module thereafter discusses why and how community media is a well-suited platform for addressing public health and public health literacy.
At the end, the module presents some ‘Discussion and Action Points’ you can use to guide the work with this module within your collective, your editorial group.
Community media (CM) are non-for-profit social interest media owned by, run by and staffed by people from within a given community, which produces programmes about the life of the community through involvement by community members.
Sometimes stations owned by a religious organisation or even by the state may have most of the traits of a community media station except for the ownership. Such stations are often also referred to as community media as a geographically definition. Community media can also be run by a community of interest such as by a NGO dedicated to particular interests, or in the advancing digital reality, reaching out beyond a geographically defined to a community of special interest.
