New Year Greetings from CSDMS and telecentre.org!
Related to country: India

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

We are happy to announce that the 'telecentre magazine' was launched on December 12, 2007, at the telecentre.org Village, within the Global Knowledge Partnership's GK3 event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The quarterly magazine, produced by the Centre for Science, Development and Media Studies (CSDMS), in partnership with telecentre.org, provides an in- depth review and analysis of the role of public access to technology, focusing on research findings, innovations, current thinking and debates.

"The telecentre magazine is important because it will document and analyse the rapid and exciting advances in addressing access questions," said Dr Ravi Gupta, Editor-in-Chief and Executive Director of CSDMS. "This is part of CSDMS's commitment to build thematic communities of practice, which also includes the well-received monthly i4d magazine."

"The telecentre magazine responds to a long-standing demand from practitioners, investors, researchers, policymakers, and emerging market leaders," said Dr Basheerhamad Shadrach, Senior Programme Officer - Asia, telecentre.org, "to have a source of information and real examples of innovative uses of shared-access technologies. This magazine highlights how ordinary people solve the problems most critical to their daily needs and lives. It creates a feedback loop that can provide ideas for new and better products."

Aktar Badshah, Senior Director, Global Community Affairs, Microsoft, Michael Clarke, Director, ICT4D, IDRC and Mark Surman from telecentre.org were present during the launch of the magazine.
