Amader Gramer Khobor uses online news to connect villages in Bangladesh

Shibayan Raha

Amader Gramer Khobor is a first-of-its-kind online rural news service that covers daily happenings in village society in Bangladesh. 

Amader Gramer Khobor is a first-of-its-kind online rural news service that covers daily happenings in village society, as no online news service in Bangladesh practices rural journalism with the provisions of time-to-time updating in the same day.  Amader Gramer Khobor, part of Amader Gram which means “Our Village Development Project,” is unique and effective because through this tactic, village society can for the first time be connected.

At the moment, there is no online news service in Bangladesh that gives due importance to the daily happenings in village society. The daily newspapers in Bangladesh are published through print media from the capital city, which focuses mainly on national and international news. In the current context therefore, village society is not given enough time, priority, and allocation of news it deserves.

Amader Gramer Khobor was born out of this context to rectify this lack of rural news coverage in Bangladesh. Amader Gramer Khobor involves the greater community by targeting members of village society to participate as readers and as news reporters. The participants are selected from villages that have had previous involvement or are still involved in other Amader Gram’s projects, i.e. rural development and educational projects. Examples of individuals involved in news reporting include local youths, unemployed village members, school-dropout girls, local pressmen, and any other interested persons in village society. These news workers are selected with the idea that each of them will cover the village from which he/she is from. The rationale behind this is that the news worker has familiarity with his/her own society. In addition, it is easier for the news worker to get the stories, interview other villagers informally, and gather information. The news workers are provided with some orientation and training skills on the simple techniques of reporting, editing, data analysis, and producing publications in various forms. In their villages, these individuals report on events they have researched or been informed on by other community members.

The news online service is updated daily and covers multi-dimensional issues pertaining to village society, for example market price, childbirth, death, agricultural information, disaster preparedness, success and failure stories, accidents, achievements, development, history, culture, and other aspects affecting village life. The steps involved to publish the daily news and stories involve the news worker collecting and writing the story, sending it to the project’s principal office, the story being edited, the webmaster uploading the information online, and the Central News Hub producing it online. Local readers then reproduce this online edition into printing form at the local hub/centers available at each village and put it on display for the rest of the villagers to look at. Villagers, in other words, take part in this online rural news service as readers and news workers.

Amader Gramer Khobor is a very new initiative of Amader Gram and a first-of-its-kind online rural news in Bangladesh. Currently, the organizational staff is closely monitoring and providing supervision to ensure the success of the online rural news. Based on community feedbacks and other positive responses, Amader Gramer Khobor has been said to help connect village society, which in the current context of news media has not been given due representation. According to an Amader Gram staff, there are a good number of people in Bangladesh who are sending their blessing to this project. Some of the constraints that Amader Gramer Khobor is facing include a limited target group, where the present readers include group members of Amader Gram, local youth, and few other literate individuals in the village. These individuals though can serve as rapporteurs to villagers unable to read.

In thinking about implementing this tactic of using online rural news services to connect under-represented rural areas, the following is important to consider for the success of the tactic:

involvement of village members,

funding, and availability of computers to receive the bulletins in each village targeted.

In addition, it is important to know that the following challenges that may be encountered:

opposition from urban elites who are practicing traditional journalism,

language and illiteracy barriers,

funding and availability of communications tools, and

reliance on village members to play an active role.

Areas of transferability for this tactic include rural areas in countries like Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, and Nepal. In addition, targeted groups could include indigenous people, ethnic minorities, and people living in distant locations within the country. This tactic could also be adapted to poor urban communities as well seeking to establish better understanding of the issues within and a more cohesive community through their own news.

Today I was off from work because it is my normal day off. I need days off because I am human (something many clients refuse to understand). Anyway, today a referral called the salon. (Learned my mistake from the past, all clients of mine shall be given the cell number to prevent other stylists from being opportunistic when I am unavailable). She had a hair emergency(don’t they all) and could not come tomorrow. It had to be done today. Unfortunately, today I actually had plans. If I didn’t I would of gone to work. So the receptionist set her up with none other than the stylist who my client (the one I blogged about last week) left me for. Luckily, this receptionist called to inform me of this. The last time the same stylist actually did one of my referrals and never told me. (Shady…but I found out thanks to a friend stylist who overheard). I was a little furious but I didn’t feel compelled enough to drop my plans and go to work. But I did do a little damage control. I called this new client and left her a voicemail (she didn’t pick up) telling her thanks for calling me and apologizing for not being able to see her today, but at the same time mentioning had I not had personal appointments I would of gladly come in for her, but hoped to meet her in the near future. I also gave her my cell and told her she could call or text me direct the next time. I was at first hesitant, but I figured it was worth a shot to reach out. I was hoping if I did so she would feel that I cared. And the good news is that it did work. Right before I started this post, she had texted me explaining why she couldn’t wait but would see me soon. I only expressed that I was “glad” that the other stylist was there to take care of her but hoped to meet her soon. Hopefully this will turn out in my favor. I definitely will be doing this again! Next time I can’t see a referral I will make it a point to call them. If I can’t get them the first time, maybe I can sway them to me the next time.
