Buy flonase without prescription, The TED talk of Ethan Zuckerman, the founder of the international blogging site Global Voices, is quite an amazing insight into the challenges of telling international stories online, told in the great TED way of painting lots of pictures and using a ton of anecdotes. He says it’s a big myth that the web is bringing us closer to other cultures or countries – when we’re on the web, find flonase on internet, Lowest price for flonase, we’re basically in our own small islands of our social networks. Most of us who are building businesses/nonprofits around non-traditional media content know this, buy flonase online, Flonase sale, but he has got some great powerpoint slides that add a lot of meat to the arguments.

In addition to giving us some very telling facts (did you know that Madagascar the movie is a bigger brand than Madagascar the country?), he talks about translation, buy generic flonase online. Flonase overnight delivery, And not just the challenges of literal translation from one language to another, which is something Video Volunteers faces in our work all the time, buy cheap flonase internet, Buy cheapest flonase online, especially now when we have community video correspondents working in nearly every state of India, a country with dozens of official languages, flonase prescription. Compare flonase prices online, But also cultural translation.

This is really interesting to me because at Video Volunteers, buy cheap flonase, Cheap flonase pharmacy, we talk a lot about the need for “unmediated” voices – essentially, voices that are not culturally translated, buy flonase overnight delivery. Flonase pharmacy, This is one of the differences between community video, which to us means equipping traditionally “unheard” communities to tell their stories in their own words, buy flonase online cheap, Buy flonase canada, and documentary film, where a professional uses his or her artistry and insightfulness to translate community voices for outside audiences, flonase vendors. Flonase discount, At VV, we believe, flonase order, Discount flonase without prescription, in fact, that so much is lost in translation that you want to keep “cultural translation” to a minimum, cheap flonase from uk. Buy flonase without prescription, And so, with our newly launched IndiaUnheard community news network, we want to bring voices out voices in their rawest form. Buying flonase online, As my partner Stalin K. often says, flonase uk, Flonase pill, “if I say the words “masai warrior” you get an immediate visual in your head. You don’t, flonase non prescription, Order no rx flonase, in a similar fashion, hear their voices in your head.” We know from TV what the Masai look like, get flonase. Buy cheapest flonase online, But we don’t know what they sound like, because in traditional National Geographic-type media, buy cheapest flonase on line, Flonase no prescription, we just see the Masai with a narration – their whole culture, never mind their language, best price for flonase, Buy no rx flonase, is translated for an international audience.

There are real limits to the possibilities for translation, buy flonase without prescription. As I’ve heard Ethan Zukerman himself say at a Civic Media conference, flonase no online prescription, Flonase information, it’s hard enough to find cultural translators for English to other cultures. But what about all the learning that could happen between the readers of, say, Kurdish media in New York City and Haitian media in New York City. How is that translation going to happen. I don’t know that we could ever have enough translators to solve that problem.

So how do we get people to watch – rather, to WANT to watch – videos like these two posted below, made by our IndiaUnheard correspondents. Buy flonase without prescription, If the world had an ideal system for the poor representing themselves in the media, which I would say is something like one community journalist per village (or even per 20 villages), how would we interest people outside those villages in watching this content.

Here are two recent videos to check out and see what you think: Children Carry Trash, Not Books

The video shows how children of poor families do not benefit from the current schemes on compulsory free education. The video is produced by Pratibha Rolta, a Community Correspondent from the mountain state of Himachal Pradesh, who works as an activist on women’s issues.

The second video, titled Children Denied Education captures the plight of child labourers in Haryana’s brick kilns who are deprived of several rights including education.

The correspondent here, Satyawan was a Sarpanch (village head) for five long years before joining IndiaUnheard and has in-depth knowledge of corruption within the local administration.

Besides our own website and within the communities where the producers work (where most of our work is shown) there are some forums for videos like this. I showed these two videos two weeks ago as a panelist at the IFP/UN-sponsored “ENVISION 2010: Addressing Global Issues through Documentaries“, an event organized by the IFP, UN Communications Department, and New York Times. This was a one day conference on education and documentary films, and happily, there was space for user-created content, buy flonase without prescription. A few years ago there probably wouldn’t have been. I was on a panel about the impact of user-generated media, along with with Mallika Dutt of Breakthrough, John Kennedy of World Without Borders and Ryan Schlieff of Witness – all good friends in the field of media and human rights. People in the world of documentary film, or in the UN sector with its huge budgets for traditional communications, were getting a taste of what’s possible when you turn the camera over to communities. This is a progress towards receptiveness to these voices. Buy flonase without prescription, With our work, I take a long term perspective. (Wanting every village in the world to have someone skilled and motivated to represent his neighbors’ concerns in the media kind of requires that!) I think that media preferences are not fixed in stone. What Americans liked on TV and in the movies in the fifties is different from what we liked in the seventies and today. Who knows where people’s tastes will be twenty years from now. I’m an optimist. I think we will only get more global and more curious, and more open to raw, unfiltered reality. I believe there are even studies that show that kids today who’ve grown up with mashups and social networks are much more open to gritty media their parents wouldn’t look at. In the meantime, we keep telling our correspondents to tell their stories in their own words, with their own style, their own analysis, no matter how challenging it may be for outsiders to understand without translation.

em> Buy omeprazole without prescription, It’s common to blame the west for anything that goes wrong in India including loss of culture and heritage. But, cost omeprazole, Order omeprazole no prescription, an IndiaUnheard report by community correspondent Renchano Humtsoe shows a different picture where the North Eastern region is experiencing a cultural invasion from the East - Korea

Wokha of Nagaland is just another hill town of the North Eastern India with the usual picture of poor civic facilities and rich tribal traditions. Like the rest of the region, find omeprazole online, Best price omeprazole, people here are emotional about three things – forest, land and ethnic traditions, order omeprazole from us. Omeprazole india, And like the rest of the state, people in Wokha too are supportive of the Naga’s struggle for self rule - often marred with violence - which has been going for several decades now, find cheap omeprazole. Order omeprazole in canada, Ironic, therefore, certified omeprazole, Omeprazole overnight, is the fact that, despite the decade-long fierce struggle to save their tribal identity and refusal to be ‘Indianised’, online omeprazole, Compare omeprazole prices, Wokha, quite like the rest of the state is today having a unique scenario where the young generation is under a spell of Korean culture, order omeprazole overnight delivery.

Breaking this barrier of this incomprehensible silence, order omeprazole from canada, Buying generic omeprazole, one IndiaUnheard Community Correspondent from Wokha filed a story on this silent Korean cultural invasion. Shot on streets of Wokha, where to order omeprazole, Omeprazole online, the video report of Renchano Humtsoe, titled Wave of Korean Culture Hits Nagaland captures the disturbing trend of accepting all things Korean by young Naga population, buy omeprazole once daily, Where to buy omeprazole, without a question.

Says Renchano,“ I always felt, order omeprazole no prescription required, Cheap omeprazole in canada, this isn’t normal that everyone is adopting Korean style and Korean culture so much. But I wasn’t sure if that’s worth making a news story because nobody seemed to talk about it.”

However, once Renchano’ story was done, there was more revelation made by IndiaUnheard’s other correspondents from the region: From Ukhrul of Manipur to Itanagar of Arunachal Pradesh, the influence of Korean culture has been growing at an alarming speed, buy omeprazole without prescription. In fact in Manipur the insurgents have banned Hindi films which has, omeprazole for sale, Cheapest omeprazole, in turn, thrown the gate wider for Korean consumer goods and films and videos to flood the state, omeprazole medication. Omeprazole in bangkok, A Kamei, a journalist with AIR stationed in Imphal does not at all find the advent of Korean culture surprising. She says, ``People always liked non-Indian things here. So we were anyway using non-Indian products. Buy omeprazole without prescription, Korean products are just an extension. In fact Koreans are so similar to us, specially the way we look.''

As I watched Renchano’s video, it sparked a number of questions: How do the Korean consumer goods manage to reach the market so easily. Why do the cable operators subscribe to Arirang TV. Why did people choose to prefer Korea over Thai, Taiwanese or, for that matter, any other Asian country of the region. Why people who are so vocal against Hindi, have no issues with the Korean.

But above all, the story makes me wonder why the media, which is always so quick to point out the foreign invasion of any kind, especially in the region, is so silent about this overwhelming influence of Korean cultural especially on their young generation.

These are questions that will be pondered over by many in coming days. Meanwhile, reporters like Renchano should take a bow for bringing forth a story that has gone unheard for a long time.
