Amplifying the unheard
The challenge: the most remote and the most marginalised are the least likely to have the means to record and share their life experiences.
@OnOurRadar
From the margins to the front page
Those we work with are marginalised from mainstream society by
disability, ethnicity, poverty or remoteness. Others face stigma or
violence.
@OnOurRadar
We have a focus on offline and off grid communities.
How we do thisThrough our work, we have identified three main barriers which prevent the most vulnerable from
communicating:
Connectivity. Capacity. Confidence
@OnOurRadar
ConnectivityWe run a crowdfunded communications hub
which enables citizens to report and receive real time responses from editors via SMS, audio or
photo.
@OnOurRadar
CapacityWe design and deliver citizen reporter
training, covering the basics of journalism and eye witness coverage
via SMS, chat apps and voice.
@OnOurRadar
There is an emphasis on verification, neutrality, and information security.
ConfidenceWe back up learning with one-to-one
mentoring. We view and treat reporters as consultants; local experts on their
own issues and environment.
@OnOurRadar
Real issues, in real time.
The result of our work is a stream of powerful stories straight from the
source. They offer a depth of insight and intimacy which is traditionally
overlooked or deemed inaccessible.
@OnOurRadar
PartnershipsWe design and develop online
platforms to share content, or work in partnership with media outlets.
