Gender and Communication Studies! Outdoor Quiz

We discussed gender ‘in-betweens’ in our last offline meeting. We examined gender, communication and culture in modern society and found that the African society has a more conservative perception of gender than the western society. While African societies see gender strictly from the binary point of view, the western world have a more liberal, non-binary perception of gender.

We saw that the media in the Western world have space for genderqueer or gender in-betweens to express themselves freely. We gave an online activity to three candidates that were in class. They are Dimokwu, Nzewuchi,  and Iwuagwu.

You were told to list top 15 Gay Magazines,  Gay TV Channels/Programmes, Gay Radio Staions/TV Series. Each knows what she was told to do. Provide the answers here.

Deadline is tomorrow Saturday, 9pm.

The station’s current playlist is house, dance, R&B and electronica alongside several American hip-hop songs broadcast from time to time.

    Radio FG was founded in 1981 as a community radio rooted in the Parisian gay scene and in support of the gay community. The ‘FG’ initials were said to vary in meaning from “Fréquence Gaie” (Gay Frequency) to “Futur Génération” (Future Generation) to “Filles et Garçons” (Girls and Boys).
    During its initial four years of broadcasting, the station faced financial struggles as well as internal conflicts, but managed to survive. As time went by, the station, facing an identity crisis, distanced itself from its social activism and re-defined itself as a dedicated electronic music station.

    In 2001 Radio FG abandoned its community radio status to become a private radio station. In September 2003 Radio FG became known as FG DJ Radio and broadened its spectrum of music to include R’n’B and Raï music. Mixshows (known as Club FG for most of the time) originally accounted for 30-50 percent of the entire broadcast week. It now only accounts for 10 percent.

    Today, the station broadcasts throughout the Parisian suburbs and in other major cities around France. In September 2004 the radio started a free webradio service called Underground FG.
