Story idea:


Project Proposal : खबर लहरिया एक ग्रामीण अखबार है जिसे उत्तर प्रदेश के बुन्देलखण्ड क्षेत्र के दो जिलों से प्रकाशित किया जाता है - बांदा और चित्रकूट। अखबार की शुरुआत 2002 में हुई और आठ साल से यह एकमात्र अखबार है जो स्थानीय खबरों और विकास से जुड़े मुद्दों को गहराई से लिखता है। अखबार का प्रकाशन ग्रामीण महिला पत्रकारों द्वारा किया जाता है।

खबर लहरिया की पत्रकारों ने बांदा - चित्रकूट में 8 सालों में अलग-अलग मुद्दों के बारे में लिखा है, जैसे - सूखा, नरेगा, स्वास्थ्य, स्थानीय राजनीति, इत्यादि।

विकास के तहत पंचायत की जिम्मेदारी पर हम एक 6-7 खबरों को एक श्रृंखला में पेश करना चाहते हैं। हमारी खबरों के स्रोत होंगे - सरकारी आंकड़े, गैर-सरकारी संस्थाओं के काम पर आधारित जानकारी, जिला, ब्लाक और ग्राम पंचायत स्तर पर तहकीकात। हमारे मुख्य स्रोत होंगे वे लोग जो सबसे शोषित समुदाय से हैं - महिलाएं, दलित, आदिवासी - जिनकी आवाज़ें और खबरें मुख्यधारा के अखबारों में बहुत कम पढ़ने को मिलती हैं।

इन समुदाय के लोगों के जरिये हम अलग-अलग विकास की योजनाएं की पहुंच को जानना चाहते हैं। हमारी खबरें व्यक्तिगत या सामूहिक इन्टरव्यू के रूप में होंगी। हम अधिकारियों और गाँव के लोगों के बीच चर्चाओं को फीचर के रूप में भी प्रस्तुत करना चाहेंगे। इसके अलावा चित्रकूट और बांदा के गांव, कस्बों की झांकियां पेश करने के लिए हम फोटोफीचर भी करना चाहेंगे - जो इन इलाकों की विशेषता दूसरे पाठकों के लिए सजीव रूप में प्रस्तुत कर पाएगा।
