NOTES:
1. The board has its say over the General
Manager only. The board, which should be
odd in number, should not be paid but
must be of integrity.
The board might consist of DMC graduates
and a representative from the community.
They all must be trustworthy. And these
people cannot be heads of any department.
2. The General Manager will be answerable
to the board, be ready to solve conflicts
in the departments, and have contract
with mandate limitation set by the board.
3. Members of the Steering Committee
should be paid.
4. Reporters and presenters should be the
same people so that the community people
know who are presenting news to them.
This creates a sense of trust—the
people might be confident that they are
not being cheated.
5. Volunteers from the people in the
community are called up to involve and
can be promoted to reporters/presenters
and producers if they are capable enough.
6. Funding sources should be from the
community people rather than any
organization because this is a community
radio.
7. The staff in HRM and R&D
Department are to be supervised by
quality controllers and researchers in
order to get feedback of what the
community radio is doing.
8. The community radio would be located
in Kampong Cham or Sihanouk Ville, with
around 20 kilometer coverage. There
should be about 10 shareholders working
together to set up the station.
estimated running cost:As
we haven’t done any research on the
location where we would establish our
radio station, the estimated initial
investment should be between USD10,000
and 15,000.
