OneWorld (www.oneworld.net), the online human rights and sustainable development network, has launched OneWorld Radio (www.oneworld.net/radio), a new portal offering services and features for broadcasters and NGOs. OneWorld Radio aims to harness the power of both old and new media to promote sustainable development and human rights with a focus of promoting the free exchange of programmes with development-related content between radio stations across the globe. The portal goes live with a wide range of radio stations and major broadcast network partners including AMARC, Farm Radio Network, Somali Radio Network, Refugee Radio Network and UN Radio. Member organisations already include Unicef, Unesco, Radio for Development, Amnesty, WACC, Search for a Common Ground, Anti-Slavery, Plan International and over 250 others. The core of OneWorld Radio is an audio exchange database to which broadcasters can upload their programmes and audio clips. This content is available for online listening and for other OneWorld Radio members to download and use for re-broadcast. Audio is searchable by 80 topics - covering civil society, health, human rights, democracy and sustainable development - by any language, and also by geographical area. OneWorld Radio is also a gateway to a wide range of other radio databases, providing links to broadcaster networks and to other radio exchange projects. This provides members with centralized access to the rich seam of programming and support that is available internationally. Community building is a central aspect of OneWorld Radio. It provides audio providers, from journalists and producers to NGOs and radio stations, with a place to meet together online to share information and to network with one another. A comprehensive database of audio providers is also being developed; with information about areas of interest, target audiences and joint venture possibilities. A number of information services also feature on OneWorld Radio such as sector news covering current developments in the 'radio for change' sector, a resources section for information about funding and conferences, a support centre for online training on online audio and a monthly email newsletter. _ For media enquiries and to arrange interviews with the team behind OneWorld Radio contact Glen Tarman, OneWorld publicity manager, Tel +44 (0)20 7091 4541 Email mailto:media@oneworld.net.
