Description

Appan Samachar (Our News) is a community news channel, which is run by backward and minority rural women who are cut off from the mainstream. Appan Samachar is famous by the name of All Women News Network, has emerged as a powerful news medium of alternative media. This video program was started on December 6, 2007, in the remote area of Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India. The first Bulletin of 45-minutes was screened on a big project in village haat at Ramlila Gachhi of Chandkevari Panchayat under Paru block of Muzaffarpur district. This media movement that started from a small village, and today it covers dozen of villages, some including villages of surrounding districts as well. This news bulletin is mainly shown in the village market through projector or TV-DVD player. From Camera Person, Anchors, Editors to Community Reporter, all are women. Rural women have made camera, pen and mic, a weapons of change. The people of the village work to provide technical support from resource mobilization. Every month the program is shown to rural audiences who may not have access to television. Through Video, Audio and Print, Appan Samachar raises issues of public interest with fairness and boldness. Due to the impact of Appan Samachar, many problems of the villagers have been solved. Appan Samachar has given wings to curtain women and taken out girls from threshold of their houses. The team covers issues especially related to farming, women's problems, the government of the village, environment, social welfare, and folk culture etc. The issues and problems of villages, which is ignored by corporate media, we cover those. Our team hammers corruption & social evils. The journalism of the trail does. Only team does not use to reporting on issues, general people also contribute news contents, photos, videos and stories. This unique hypothesis was embodied by a social worker and journalist Santosh Sarang with a team of four youths, i.e. Amritanj Indiwar, Rajesh Kumar, Phooldeo Patel and Pankaj Singh, which is appreciated by newspapers and channels from around the world.
