Internews in Indonesia Re-launches Radio Training Manuals

Radio Management manual - cover(April 14, 2007) In honor of the eighth anniversary of Internews in Indonesia and the 25th anniversary of Internews Network worldwide, Internews in Indonesia has republished its back catalogue of media training manuals as e-publications.

The manuals were researched and written in Indonesia by local and international experts in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These texts represented the first practical radio production guides available in Bahasa Indonesian, and were used by Internews trainers in seminars and in on-site trainings at radio stations across Indonesia. These manuals were distributed in hard copy to radio stations and university journalism departments between 2000 and 2001, but they have not been available to young journalists and new radio stations since that time.

Meanwhile, Internet access has improved markedly in Indonesia, and so most radio stations will now be able to access the manuals online. To make them available in a virtual format, Internews had to retype and re-format many of the texts. The manuals are available on the Internews in Indonesia website on April 14, which marks the eighth anniversary of Internews’ operations in the country.       

The manual titles include:

  • Radio Journalism Guidelines
  • Cool Edit Pro Operating Guidelines
  • Marantz Professional Recording Operating Guidelines
  • Radio Station Management
  • Radio Station News
  • Radio Station Programming
  • Radio Station Sales and Marketing
  • Radio Station Promotions
  • Radio Station Technology
  • Radio Station Research
