- I saw your comment on Marie Rarieya's page:
"Mobile telephones , however convenient, are quite expensive. To my mind, community radios are cheaper and easily accessible. Community radio stations, operated by the local populace in India, are rendering yeoman service in the most accessible terrain. I feel they should be utilised to impart information on climate change to rural folk."
Do you have any advice about radio stations, sites, articles, etc. related to community media in India?
I am currently researching the motivations and strategies of organizations that use new and old media to build capacity for addressing environmental issues, especially in India and the U.S. So far in India I have looked into the Deccan Development Society (and their program for training illiterate rural women in video production) and the JATAN Trust (they have a very creative method of assembling interviews and local knowledge in videos, screening these videos publicly, and then turning the microphones and cameras live on the audience to stimulate deliberation and articulation on complex and critical environmental issues).
Good to meet you on this network and I look forward to hearing from you!

- I am a Kolkata-based Indian journalist who has spent more than two decades in the print media. I have written on practically everything under the sun, and covered politics, business, science, medical research , public health, films, entertainment, art, dance, litersature, developmental issues, and the environment in my long career . I have worked on several national dailies in my country, and freelanced for nearly every major Indian publication so far.I also hold a doctorate in African Studies and have quite a few academic articles to my credit dealing with the complex problems of third world development. I am currently associated with CIVIL SOCIETY, India's only professionally-published magazine dealing with developmental issues as their Regional Correspondent (East). I have also been writing a column-Gender Voices -for the South Asian Women's Forum's webzine-CONNECT. I am also a regular ffreelance contributor to Infochange India, a developmental news website, besides many other Indian publications. The environment is a subject close to my heart, and shall always remain so.

Climate change affects the poorest of the poor
Where climate change is concerned, little thought is given to what it holds for the poorest developing nations. It is the developed West which is expressing a lot of anguish on the melting ice caps and retreating glaciers. But the truth is, it is the poor developing nations of Asia, Africa and South Africa that are the most vulnerable and are already paying a heavy price.
