=**Introduction** = The purpose of this project is to provide a platform for North East community radio stations to share news items. Another really exciting aspect of this is that other people will be able to submit items that participating stations can consider for airing and this includes community groups, schools, students. More Here. I intend to add updates to this page in a kind of reverse order blog so that the most recent update will appear at the top.

=Update 11/01/2012=

=Update 18/11/11= The intended 12 Villages session did not take place this week which meant the training session for the key member of this group that I had tacked on could not take place. Instead we had an update meeting and went through all the concepts. We looked at the website and the groupspaces account for communication. We also ran a test of an audio clip submission to the network which worked. The clip below was recorded on my mobile phone and submitted to CRaNE News.

=Overview = The participating stations will publish submission guidelines explaining the kind of content they will consider and any other information. Groups wishing to submit news may be offered training and also under consideration is using the Community Media Association's Community Media Charter as a kite-mark. [As of 12/09/2011] This is in experimental stage. The items shared here will be under the categories of:

**Entertainment -|- Sport -|- Politics -|- Whats On -|- Religion** **Music/Venues -|- Clubs and Societies -|- Local Offers**

The community radio stations in the North East of England have joined together to form a group to develop and foster a relationship between the individual organizations. The group is called CRaNE (Community Radio Stations in the North East). CRaNE members for mutual benefit through regular constructive communication and the exchange of information and experiences. Regular membership is open to all institutions (delineated by limited company) in the North East of England (being Northumberland and County Durham and the geographically related conurbations) that either hold a Community Radio license or have held an RSL license and are actively applying to Ofcom for a Community Radio license.

Stations are [|listed here].
