Farm Radio Weekly

As some of you may already know, Barza, the social network for African radio broadcasters, has been up and running for a few months now (www.barzaradio.com). On Barza, you can create a personal profile page, just like you would on, for example, Facebook. Once you have created your personal Barza profile page, you can also create a Barza profile page for your radio station!

The Barza radio station profile page allows your station to:

• give a quick summary of what the station does,
• post messages on your wall and allow others to leave you messages,
• list your radio stations’ employees (who must also be registered with Barza) with their pictures and links to their Barza profile pages,
• upload your station program schedule, and
• add scripts, blog posts, audio files, pictures, video and events!

All that with a few clicks of a mouse!

Here are the steps to follow:

1-      If you haven’t done so yet, register for a personal profile page on Barza: http://www.barzaradio.com/account/register .Fill in as much information as you wish about yourself and your interests, and don’t forget to add a profile picture.

2-      Once you have done all that, you can register your radio station by going to http://www.barzaradio.com/radio-stations and clicking on the green “Add your station now!” button. Fill in the radio application form. Once the application is approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Then, you’ll be able to start using your radio station profile!

3-      Also, don’t forget to check out what other radio stations are up to by browsing the interactive map and discovering which stations are closest to you!

Remember, if you haven’t registered yet for a personal Barza profile and you try to register a radio station, you will get the following message: “You must login or register to view this form.”

So, what are you waiting for …get on Barza today!

If you have any questions or need help with registering, please email us at barza@farmradio.org

Thanks and happy Barza-ing
