Writing Descriptions for Media
An introduction by David Knox
Writing a description for media is an odd thing. Although the internet is awash with visual and sound resources, it’s searches have a heavy bias towards the written media. At present, it’s (almost) impossible to search within an item of media, be that sound, photography or video. We then depend on text to describe it.
Questions on Community Media Archives – CAPTCHA Radio Show #1
Project Meeting in Budapest
In November 2013, community radio activists from Austria, Germany and Ireland met with academics from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, to launch a project about how community media can best use and develop online archives.

Study on Archiving
The project’s academic partner, the CMDS at Central European University, provided a research-based understanding of the challenges and opportunities community media face in managing online archives. The research center produced a study, authored by Joost van Beek with contributions from Kate Coyer, which explores best practices and lessons learned that can be used to help improve the ways community media share, exchange, and archive programming online.
The report is based on a combination of case studies and in-depth interviews with practitioners at community media across Europe. Questions that are covered in the study include: How have successful models of sharing and archiving content online been developed? How are these online archives structured and organized? How is the work flow structured and who plays what role? What training, guidance, and moderation are needed and established? What technical capacities and other related issues do stations grapple with? What practical solutions are being found, and what problems are not being adequately solved?
The report finds that online sharing and archiving is still in an embryonic stage for most community broadcasters, hampered by the sector’s limited financial and organizational resources, and to some extent its often emotive roots in on-air broadcasting as a medium. Nevertheless, the study identifies a number of interesting cases in which individual community broadcasters have explored the possibilities of online archiving and the best ways to serve new audiences in innovative and successful ways. The report outlines how they have done so and what lessons can be learnt from their experiences.

Creative Approaches to
Living Cultural Archives
Introducing the Project
Every day, local citizens across Europe are producing hundreds of community media programs, broadcast on non-commercial, participatory TV and radio stations. They are creating a range of content of immense variety. The news and current affairs programs they make tackle issues like migration policy, political education, cultural diversity, European integration and many other topical subjects. At a time of increasing concentration of commercial media ownership and strains on public service broadcasting, the European Parliament has recognized the important and significant role of independent community media. Their work bolsters Europe’s media pluralism, empowers citizens, fosters social inclusion, enriches social debate, and provides valuable training and skills.
The growing array of socially relevant content they produce constitutes a vast knowledge resource, and an effective use of it could buttress people’s right to freedom of expression and access to information. Unfortunately, many of the programs which community media produce are only broadcast once and become unavailable to the public after that, since the mostly volunteer-based, non-profit stations face specific limits and dilemmas when it comes to creating and managing online archives.
CAPTCHA – Research Outline
A short description by Joost van Beek
As first component of the research, the Center is investigating and evaluating examples of collaborative online archives and interfaces, which either present community media-produced and -curated content or provide useful models relevant to community media. Through desk research and case studies, the researchers want to explore both past and current models, reviewing the scope of content and features offered as well as issues of structure, design, navigation and interactivity.
