These wining informational spots were selected from the past Aswatona training on the production of informational, educational, and public awareness announcements. Each of these examples are considered successful in that they served as a catalyst for a change in policy by local municipalities or effectively called for public awareness. | | Al Fajr Al Jadeed TV (Tulkarem): This excellent spot, the winner for the television participants, focused on the dangers of vendors placing goods and products on sidewalks, thus forcing pedestrians to walk in the roads with traffic. |
Nour TV (Jericho): The producer of this spot effectively shed light on the little known student loan programs administered by the Bank of Palestine by providing the viewer with the basic information needed to apply. | | |
Sama Radio (Nablus): Using the simple but effective tool of water leaking from a faucet, and footsteps walking toward the faucet to turn it off, the producer of this spot effectively conveyed the importance of water conservation.
Minbar Al Huriya Radio (Hebron): With audio clips of the hectic traffic that plagues the streets of Hebron and pedestrians attempting to navigate their way, this spot highlights the importance of obeying traffic laws to ensure a safe environment for all..
Conflict Reporting
1- Hamsah Tayeh of Tulkarem’s Al Fajr Al Jadeed TV produced this report highlighting the impact of the separation wall on a local village’s access to potable water.

After the report was broadcast, local officials phoned the station to ensure them that the matter will be resolved in the near future. | | |
2- The poor condition of a major road connecting Ramallah to Bir Zeit is the focus of Laura Sayij’s report for Shebab FM Radio. One local explains how the deterioration of the road has resulted in significant damage to his car. While the local municipality has since stated its intention to repair the roads, the report encourages drivers to proceed slowly and cautiously in the affected areas.
3- For the purposes of following up on the 2002 deportation of Palestinian militants after the Israeli siege of the nativity church, Bahaa Salama of Bethlehem 2000 radio sheds light on the failure of the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its promise of ensuring their safe return. Upon airing the spot, the station received several calls from both citizens and officials of Bethlehem who debated the issue live.
4- This report from Raed Alatrash of Manbar Al Hurriya Radio explores the impact of public busses stopping on the major streets of Hebron to pick up passengers. The footage depicting the frequency of accidents and an increase of traffic has prompted the head of the local transportation department to call for the construction of designated areas for passengers to safely load and unload without disturbing traffic.
