Development Director required - 2008/01/22 16:07
Vacancy note
Taking into account that current political circumstances prevent operating of independent broadcasters inside Iran, Radio Zamaneh broadcasts since September 2006 from Amsterdam via short wave, satellite and internet. Instead of being a voice for the Iranian opposition outside Iran (like many Iranian media-organizations in foreign countries), Zamaneh is a non-partisan radio-station. Radio Zamaneh is run by an independent foundation and its programming policy is based on its own editorial vision, which is based on an interactive media-making philosophy. Radio Zamaneh aims at introducing a new concept of radio-making: ‘participatory radio-making’ or ‘civic journalism’. Zamaneh wants to stimulate ‘citizen journalism’; be a platform for the unheard voices of Iran (Iranian youth) where the audience can participate and express the greatest possible diversity of opinions.
Radio Zamaneh wants to diversify its financial base by attracting financial contributions from various sources in different countries. It also aims to enhance its public profile and strengthen its management structure. In order to realize these objectives, Radio Zamaneh is currently recruiting a
