Radio 2.0 for development

In 1996 the Púlsar news agency started up as a regional news service for local, independent and community radio stations in Latin America, providing an alternative to CNN and the major news agencies based in the USA or Europe. It was the world’s first internet-based radio news agency. Now run by AMARC, the agency provides text and audio news to hundreds of radio stations in Spanish and Portuguese. This chapter, by Bruce Girard, founder of Púlsar and editor of The One to Watch discusses the agency´s first years.
