Promoting Dialogue in West Africa (Thematic stream „Cross Media Publishing“)

Abstract: Sourcefabric’s Adam Thomas presents a new project from one of Europe’s largest open source media organisations. Sourcefabric recently travelled to Dakar to work with West Africa Democracy Radio (WADR), a trans-territorial radio station set up to facilitate the exchange of development information between and among countries of West Africa. WADR is a hub for a West African network of public, private and community radio stations which uses a unique toolset of Airtime (open source radio software), Newscoop (open source CMS for journalists) and Soundcloud (online sound storage) to broadcast news. Adam takes us through the tools and workflow and shows how this cross-media workflow can be used by any community.
