CBAA’s National Features and Documentary Series 2018

The fifth instalment of the CBAA‘s National Features and Documentary Series, an annual showcase of work by new and emerging Australian community radio producers, is now live and available.
 
With training and mentoring provided by the Community Media Training Organisation, eight producers based at community stations across the country turned their idea into a new half-hour feature for a national audience.
 
The eight new features tell engaging stories about issues affecting their communities from mining to farming, mediating street drug use, exercising with impaired vision, and migration across generations.

·         At The Coalface – Nikola Van de Wetering (4ZZZ, Brisbane)
·         The Runners’ Guide – Katharina Loesche (4EB, Brisbane)
·         Healthy Soils, Healthy Communities – Barry Green (Donnybrook Community Radio)
·         Hear Our Voices – Aguer Athian (3ZZZ, Melbourne)
·         To Say I Am Home – Mahendra Chitrarasu (Radio Adelaide)
·         Hidden Carers – Meredith Gilmore (Coast FM 963, Gosford)

Free for airplay on Australian community broadcasters, the series can be heard online at through iTunes and podcast apps or platforms.
 
Each of the features go in the running for a CBAA Award with the winner will be announced at the CBAA Community Radio Awards Gala Dinner, Saturday 10 November 2018 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
