NO. 9
           A Report of Voice of June Fourth Radio Station
1.  A brief introduction to the broadcast project

Voice of June Fourth is a radio project run by a group of Chinese
students  and scholars in the United States.  It is affiliated to
the  Independent  Alliance  of  Chinese Students in the USA.  The
Committee of Broadcast under the Alliance is the supporting force
to Voice of June Fourth headquartered in Chicago.

Starting  from  September  30th,  Voice  of June Fourth (VJF) has
started  its  broadcast to Mainland China.  For three days during
the  period  of  the  National  Day of PRC, VJF broadcasted seven
hours  a  day from 5 pm. to 0 am through 27 different frequencies
ranging  from  medium to short wave.  Several world most powerful
broadcast  towers  located  in the neighboring countries of China
helped  VJF rebroadcast its programs.  We have received telephone
calls  from  Beijing  and  Nanjing  telling  us that they clearly
received the shows of VJF.

At  present,  VJF  produces a half hour show everyday, six days a
week.   The  time  of  its broadcast to China is from 9 to 10 pm.
Beijing time seven days a week.  In the United States, VJF broad-
casts  in Boston.  The time is 1 to 3 pm. every sunday at fm 100.
The purpose to broadcast in the United States is to let those who
are  interested  in  the  broadcast project know the content that
reach  Mainland  China.  Therefore they can raise suggestions and
support.

2.  The work in the headquarter

The  headquarter is located in Chicago consisting of a studio and
an office.  The routine includes: 1. To correspond with reporters
and  article  contributors  nation  wide  to collect articles and
information.   2.  To  edit programs.  3. To produce and transmit
radio programs.  4. To keep in touch with different pro-democracy
organizations.   5.  To raise fund for the VJF.  6. To manage the
headquarter  including  labor  decision  and coordination.  7. To
maintain the facilities in the studio.


3.  A brief introduction to the programs

The  programs  fall into two categories namely news reporting and
commenting  and  special programs.  (1)  Current news: News about
events  happened  in China and the world that the Beijing Govern-
ment  tries  to block off.  Generally anything about the people's
desire  for  freedom  and  democracy  is  annoying to the Beijing
rulers and therefore they are not reported by the mass media con-
trolled by the Beijing Government.  Deng Xiaoping addresses these
news  as the "big environment of the world and the small environ-
ment  of  China".   We  believe  that Chinese people have special
interests  in these news and VJF is dedicated to the reporting of
them.

(2)  News commentary: We use commentaries of the Chinese students
and  scholars in the United States in our programs.  These people
are  out  from China only for at most a few years.  Their commen-
taries  on  the  latest events in the development of democracy in
China  and  the  world are relevant and convincing to the Chinese
people.   The  voice  from  their  own relatives about the latest
development  of democracy in the world makes sense to the Chinese

people about the events in other countries that they are not very
familiar with.

(3)   Special  programs:   We  have  a series of special programs
about  cultural and educational issues.  They are a cross country
comparison  and  discussion of different cultures and educational
systems.  The following is a brief description of the features of
our special programs.

a.   Tribune  for  reform discussion This session is dedicated to
the  reforms  in  socialist  countries.   One of the issues it is
going  to address is how Deng Xiaoping started his reform and why
the  reform in China ends up with a major crack down by the Beij-
ing  Government.   All  the  exciting  events in Eastern European
countries are discussed in this session.

b.   The  wounds  in history This session is about the efforts to
and sacrifices for the pro- democracy movements in the history of
China  and  the  world.   Many of the tries of the peoples failed
under  the suppression of the brutal rulers.  What conditions the
movements  faced and how the peoples struggled under these condi-
tions  in  their pursuit for freedom and democracy are discussed.
Efforts  are  exerted  to  study  the lessons from the historical
events  so that in the movements for democracy to come, the oppo-
sition should be able to do better.

c.   Life  of the overseas Chinese students After living in China
under  the rule of the CCP, the Chinese students find many things
in  the  Western  world  different  and  amazing.   Some of their
experiences  in  the  Western  world are pleasant others are not.
And their views of the world change with time.  What are the con-
flicts  of different values of different systems?  How these con-
flicts  affect  the  life  of the Chinese students?  What are the
good  things  and  bad  things  about the Western world and about
China when looked from outside?

d.   American  society  Entertaining as well as educational, this
program  tries to reveal different facets of the American society
by  introducing  various  characters  and  historical  events  to
Chinese  people.   America  is both the heaven and hell.  But its
major  difference  to  a  closed  society  is  that in the United
States,  powers are checked and balanced.  Under the rule of law,
the  judicial  and  media  systems are functioning independently.
There  is  no trouble free society in the world, but through com-
parison,  people  should  be able to tell which system is better,
the democratic one or the autocratic one.

e.   Literature  and  arts We use short pieces of literature that
are relevant to the people's pursuit for democracy and freedom or
reflecting  the  different characteristics of Chinese and Western
societies.

f.  Letters  from home This session aims at the promotion of com-
munication  and emotional relations between Chinese people in and
out  side  of  China.  Because of the close relationships between
the Chinese students and their kin in China, we should be able to
accurately  capture  the  changes in the environment in China and
the feelings of the Chinese people.  We also encourage feed backs
on  our  program from China so that we can improve the quality of
our broadcast to Chinese people.



What We Need to Do the Next

At  present,  we  have  six  people  working  full  time  in  the
headquarter  of  Voice of June Fourth Radio Station.  Everyone is
overloaded  with  their  work.   In  this  case, how to work more
effectively  and reach higher quality is the consideration of the
staff  everyday.  We need to further systemize and streamline our
production  of radio shows.  Everyone should be better trained in
his  or  her  specialty  and yet be more versatile to fill up the
gaps caused by lack of hands in our organization.

We  need  to  enhance  our  work on public relation.  More people
should  know our program so as to support us with their contribu-
tions  in money, articles, and advice.  The general American pub-
lic  hardly  knows  anything  about our radio project yet and the
same  with the public in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  We should publish
more stories about our project and reach out to contact more peo-
ple in our seek of support and participation.
