Calling all podcasters and filmmakers in Africa

Have you got audio or video on social justice issues that you want to reach a wider audience? Would you like to make podcasts and film but don't know where to start? Do you work in community radio or TV and want to get your work on the internet or are looking for exciting programming from other sources? Get in touch with Pambazuka News and we can provide material, promote your work and in some cases help you to produce it.

Your work can be linked from our website and mentioned in our roundup of African multimedia and you could create films and audio for the Pambazuka multimedia project. We're particularly interested in hearing from people who are non-professionals and want to support media from the grassroots whose messages and voices are not being heard.

Pambazuka News is also developing a set of resources for beginners to help you get started and techniques to make film and podcasts accessible for all parts of the community to learn to use. So if you're interested get in touch with our multimedia coordinator Heidi Bachram at multimedia@pambazuka.org for more information.

In order to view the video files and listen to the audio we recommend you download the free QuickTime player. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
