Brisbane's 4ZZZ is very proud to announce that Queer Radio has been nominated in not one but two categories for the CAN Awards 2013 for Media, for Excellence in Journalism/Social Media which promotes social inclusion and equality for all and the new LGBTIQ category,  Celebrating the Leaders and Helpers in our inner city LGBTI community.

The CAN Awards, an acronym for 'Community Action Network', recognise and celebrate the work undertaken in the community, private and public sectors to achieve social justice and equity in the inner city of Brisbane.

The first CAN Awards were held in 1997, honouring people and organisations for their work, passion and leadership in the community.

Agitate Educate Organise. The roles of information-based programming on 4ZzZ

Abstract
Community radio in Australia, and community media in general, has received increased attention from academics in recent years. Forde et al (2002) highlight the need for further study into news and current affairs programming in the community broadcasting sector, saying that they are keen to discover more about its format and content, especially in terms of the attitudes and practices of information-based program producers. This paper attempts to clarify some of these issues by outlining the results of a case study of information-based programming at Brisbane community radio 4ZzZ and adopting a modified citizen’s media framework.

Queer Theory, Media Studies, and Editorial Processes in Queer Student Media

Abstract
Australian queer (GLBTIQ) university student activist media is an important site of self-representation. Community media is a significant site for the development of queer identity, community and a key part of queer politics. This paper reviews my research into queer student media, which is grounded in a queer theoretical perspective. Rob Cover argues that queer theoretical approaches that study media products fail to consider the material contexts that contribute to their construction. I use an ethnographic approach to examine how editors construct queer identity and community in queer student media. My research contributes to queer media scholarship by addressing the gap that Cover identifies, and to the rich scholarship on negotiations of queer community.
