¡Los compañeros ya  estaban entusiasmados durante las prácticas, se notaba que ellos ya estaban al aire (…)! manifestó Elena Brito, representante legal de la Asociación Q’imb’al, quien participó en el taller de locución y formatos radiofónicos que se realizó el 17 y 18 de septiembre de este año, en las instalaciones de la Asociación, en Nebaj, Quiché, Guatemala.

Indigenous media is technology used for the exchange of information among people, communication that may take place within family members, communities, and in the marketplace. In this article, Indigenous media does not refer to Indigenous oral or folk media, but encompasses those media or forms of media where expression is created, owned, controlled, and managed by Indigenous Peoples to produce and exchange culturally appropriate information in the languages that they speak and understand.
