I am happy to inform you that in Moscow on 27-29 June 2009 the Foundation for Independent Radio (FNR) Broadcasting will run the Finale of the 7th annual Festival Radio Together (Vmeste – Radio). More than 200 radio makers from all over the country are expected to attend this event.
The Festival runs throughout the year in each of Russia’s seven federal districts and is ended at the Finale in Moscow where national winners are selected out of the regional winners. The Expert Board which includes prominent Russian radio makers will select winners in four nominations: news programme, talk-show, reportage, and feature programme. Apart from that, a special prize will be given for the best programme on culture.
The festival events include discussion of submissions, as well as round table discussions, lectures and master classes. As usual, prominent guests from Europe and the United States are invited to take part in the festival. This year the participants will be able to attend the lectures and master-classes of Anna Sekudewicz (Radio Katowice, Poland), Ira Glass (This American Life, NPR), Alex van Oss (independent, USA), Greg Allen (The Neo-Futurist, USA), Jean Fairbairn (Developing Radio Partners, UK) and others. This is the result of the partnership which FNR is developing with the world renown events – Prix Europa festival, International Feature Conference and the Third Coast International Audio Festival.
The festival programme is available on our festival web-site (http://radiofestival.ru/files/programmi/programma_moscow_09_eng.doc ).

A WORKSHOP FOR THE EBU INTERNATIONAL FEATURES CONFERENCE, DUBLIN CASTLE, 9-14 MAY 2009
“Tough economic times mean that everyone, public broadcasters included, have to tighten their belts, cut their budgets, reduce their costs. So what does that mean for programmes? And for the inventive spirit that both comes up with the ideas and then makes them happen excitingly differently? Ideas cost nothing, but poor morale can sap even the most inventive programme-maker's resolve. In a practical hands-on session, we aim to energise your thinking and offer some real solutions to making features with less or almost no cash.”
The session plan was developed by Simon Elmes, Creative Director, BBC Radio Documentaries, in consultation with Pat Connor, Head of Vision Development, BBC and Richard Addy, Chief Adviser to the Deputy Director-General, BBC
