CSU’s community radio awarded NRMA grant

1 JANUARY 2003

The National Roads and Motorists Association (NRMA) has awarded Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) community radio station 2MCE a $5 000 grant to produce an innovative road safety radio campaign. The campaign will target young drivers about the dangers of using mobile phones while driving, particularly during the hazardous winter months on roads between Bathurst and Orange. Coordinator of 2MCE’s Studio 4, Bronwen Matherson, said that CSU students will be involved in the production of the NRMA radio campaign. “This campaign will give local youth the chance to share their driving stories and experiences while raising road safety awareness at the same time,” Ms Matherson said. The campaign will include the production of four “driver safety” radio announcements to be broadcast 200 times each, and the exploration of road safety issues on 2MCE’s youth issues program That’ll Learn Ya. 2MCE operates from CSU’s Bathurst Campus.
