Som tidigare lovat lägger vi nu även upp Anna Nylanders reportage som vann pris för Bästa Reportage 2011 i årets studentradioprisgala i Uppsala i fredags! Inslaget handlar om oljeutsläppen som det nordamerikanska företaget Chevron anklagas ha åstadkommit i Ecuador 1964-1992 då de var verksamma i regionen och hur det påverkat befolkningen som nu kämpar för upprättelse. 

Christel Valsinger från Musikguiden i P3 var domare och hennes motivering lyder som följer: ”Det reportage jag valt till vinnare är ett starkt reportage som inte bara ger mig ny kunskap, utan också berör mig väldigt mycket. Historien som berättas här är viktig och ger röst till människor som kanske inte alltid får plats i mediautrymmet. Musiken, rösterna och beskrivningarna av miljöerna förflyttar mig som lyssnare i tid och rum, och det personliga engagemanget hos reportern som liksom sipprar ut mellan raderna förstärker den här berättelsen ytterligare. Dessutom lämnas vi med reflektionen att den här historien är ännu inte färdigberättad. Resultatet är ett reportage som stannar kvar hos mig långt efteråt.”

Vill du höra på programmet om Olja i sin helhet, sändes det idag i repris i Studentradion, så man kan lyssna på det i efterhand i upp till 30 dagar om du klickar HÄR. Förutom detta reportage får ni då lära er mer om vårt enorma olje beroende idag, Peak oil, alternativa lösningar och vi filosoferar om framtiden i detta tunga ämne!

Vi är såklart mycket stolta och lovar att leverera nya spännande program hela terminen! Vi Kör igång med nya livesändningar nästa Tisdag! Hörs då! :)

Kate Macdonald and Janelle Blanchard cover Neko Case’s “Star Witness”

Mighty fine.

Canadian students Kate Macdonald and Janelle Blanchard recorded a version of Neko Case’s brooding “Star Witness” on a school staircase and the result moved Case to tears. “Wow. That just made me bawl my eyes out,” she tweeted. “What beautiful singers. I’m not worthy… Holy god. They broke the shit out of my heart!!” Mine, too. They accomplish this with a ukelele, angelic voices, a talent for harmony - and a mission to save their school. 

The Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School houses an arts-intensive program that draws creative students from the Toronto area. But, in September, the local school board voted to close the school. It is the only school in downtown Peterborough and is described by locals as vital to the life of the community. Kate and Janelle took to the stairwell to record Case’s song to draw attention to the impending closure. That tweet from Case has the video (by Jared Raab) flying around the internet. You don’t want to miss it. This is a tough time for school arts programs and these enormously talented students give the need to support arts in schools faces and achingly clear voices.

Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights. It is a violation of human rights when people are beaten or killed because of their sexual orientation, or because they do not conform to cultural norms about how men and women should look, or behave… To LGBT men and women worldwide, let me say this: wherever you live and whatever the circumstances of your life, whether you are connected t a network of support, or feel isolated, and vulnerable, please know that you are not alone. People around the globe are working hard to support you, and to bring an end to the injustices and dangers you face. That is certainly true for my country. And you have an ally in the United States of America. And you have millions of friends among the American people.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton • Giving vocal support to the plight of oppressed LGBT persons worldwide, at a meeting of diplomats in Geneva. Clinton’s speech is being hailed as a landmark event in terms of U.S. foreign policy towards LGBT rights, and dovetails with the Obama administration’s memo earlier today pledging foreign aid support for the same cause. After her speech, she received a standing ovation. This could well be worth marking down on your calendar for future reference, everyone; this could be a big, big deal, whether Rick Perry likes it or not. source (via • follow)

The task of an activist is not to navigate systems of oppressive power with as much personal integrity as possible; it is to dismantle those systems.

Det svarta guldet!

Vad används egentligen olja till? Är vi omgivna av olja? Finns det några alternativ till olja? Och Peakoil, vad innebär det?

Lyssna idag kl 15.03 på Studentradion, 98.9 där vi kommer prata om olja. Kommer oljan ta slut och vad skulle det få för konsekvenser? Hur ser vårt oljeberoende ut? Vad använder du för produkter som innehåller olja? Lyssna på oss och bli kanske lite klokare eller bara mer förvirrad!
