National Aboriginal broadcast launched From AAP 22mar00 2.15pm (AEDT) AUSTRALIA'S first national Aboriginal radio broadcast will go to air tonight as Western Australia joins the national indigenous radio service. The broadcast will go out live from Broome, in the Kimberley region, launching the Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) network. Through PAKAM, WA will have access to 24-hour indigenous radio, while PAKAM's programs will be broadcast to Aboriginal communities Australia-wide through the Brisbane-based national indigenous radio service. "The launch of PAKAM creates a powerful new indigenous media network that reaches into remote Aboriginal communities from the west to the east of Australia and back again," PAKAM spokeswoman Sandra Dunn said. "With this launch it's certainly brought forward the realisation that the media is not just a form of communication but an important way for us to be able to handle our own affairs in our own way, and to maintain our culture in an ever-changing society." -- _________________________________ Truth is a pathless land. --- Krishnamurti ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
