Principles, tasks and goals
The ear radio is a project of the media initiative for blind and visually impaired people in Germany eV (MIBS eV). It is politically and religiously independent and neutral. The ear radio project work is based on the MIBS statutes. The task of the ear radio is to give blind and visually impaired people their own, independent voice in order to inform the general public and to offer good entertainment. The aim of these funds is to build bridges between disabled and non-disabled people. The ear radio program is aimed at German-speaking listeners. The core target group includes culturally and politically interested people between 30 and 59 years.
Program content
The content of the ear radio program is not limited to specific subject areas. News, politics, culture, technology, health, lifestyle belong e.g. B. to this and can be expanded or restricted depending on the available editorial capacity. The focus is on topics from disability and social policy, in particular blind-specific issues and questions relating to the coexistence of disabled and non-disabled people.
Program responsibility
Program slots and transmission times are worked out by the board of the MIBS eV or a committee appointed by it in coordination with the responsible editorial offices or editors named by the board and decided by the board. The editor-in-chief responsible for the program is the respective chairman or another suitable member of the board or association who is appointed by the board for the duration of the board election period.
Since it was founded in January 2006, the editorial team has consisted exclusively of voluntary members, sighted, visually impaired and blind people. They are involved in other social networks out of their own concern and thus have a broad spectrum of knowledge that allows them to select and work on topics such as coping with life and social or disability-specific questions. Often they know aids, aids, self-help institutions and associations and their work from their own experience. In addition, they draw on personal areas of interest such as politics, travel or literature for the program.
Transmission forms and music color
The ear radio program is a daily full program. The goal is an average word share of up to 40 percent. Forms of broadcasting used are unmoderated and moderated music programs, news, magazine programs with reports, read and built articles as well as radio plays , features, broadcasts and live events. The broadcast content and the music program or its timbre can refer to times of day and seasons, but also commemorative and festive days as well as current events. The color of the music is determined by a wide range of rock, pop and world music from the 1950s to the present day, which consciously avoids the 400-title rotation often found on radio stations and thus offers an extraordinary variety. Special and themed programs can also deal with particular epochs and genres, even for different target groups.
