Disclosure: I have been assisting the “brazda” launch team as best I can.
My first project when I arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) back in 1998, was to set up some form of radio programme that could offer the post conflict youth of the NW of the country an alternative view of the “reality” of the situation they were living in and experiencing.
We sort of were succeeding until 2006 when the project was closed, as the mission I was with assumed that all in BiH was “done and dusted”.
In the years since then and now there have been numerous attempts to “free” or maybe better be described as to, “open”, national and local media outlets.
Politicians of all persuasions across BiH though don’t want that for many reasons that this blog has discussed in the past.
It’s both well known and documented
However, my parents used to say to me, “If at first you don’t succeed, then try, try and try again”.
So here we go. AGAIN.
Another attempt to provide a platform to offer some freedom of expression and thought.
Will “brazda” win? Will it be forced to close through lack of funding and pressure from other media platforms?
Well as of today no one knows that answer.
What is known however, is that BiH still has some people with sufficient energy and guts to “try again”
If you fancied supporting them by encouraging words, constructive criticism or maybe some funds?
I am sure the team would appreciate that so much.
