Community broadcasting was founded on social good principles, including giving voice to underrepresented groups, and revealing local stories. How do we know whether community media organisations are fulfilling these objectives? What are the broader benefits to society when these objectives are met?

Provide a platform for the discussion of local issues and focus on community, not partisan politics.

Australian actor, director, writer, voice artist and media personality Lex Marinos gave a packed room of CBAA Conference delegates an hour-of-power radio presentation masterclass.

Around 50 representatives from metro, sub metro and regional stations gathered to learn about the establishment and development of community digital radio, hosted by Kath Letch and featuring Phillip Randall, Chair of the Digital Radio Consultative Committee, Philip Shine, Digital Radio Project Manager, and David Sice, Technical Consultant.

"What I’m going to do is challenge you a bit about what is happening in the charities and NFP sector."

CBAA Conference Keynote Speaker Wendy Bacon's address was an incredibly inspiring look at her own experience of the impact of community media and ideas for the future.
