> Dear Sir or Madam,
>  
> Wellington Independent Media Centre (Windy) is a grassroots organization
> committed to using media production and distribution as a tool for
> promoting social and economic justice. It is our goal to further the
> self-determination of people under-represented in media production and
> content, and to illuminate and analyse local and global issues that
> impact ecosystems, communities and individuals. We seek to generate
> alternatives to the biases inherent in the corporate media controlled by
> profit, and to identify and create positive models for a sustainable and
> equitable society.
> 
> Windy hosts a weekly one hour show on the VBC 88.3. The content is of a
> primarily local focus and features news stories and opinions that are
> usually neglected by the commercial media. We particularly endeavour to
> cover stories and events that affect groups often marginalised in New
> Zealand society including workers, Maori, women, Pacific Islanders,
> queers and immigrants.
> 
> We are grateful to the VBC for providing a media outlet for views
> otherwise unavailable on radio in Wellington. Unfortunately the low
> coverage of the current VBC frequency means that our show is
> inaccessible to most Wellington residents. We believe that making the
> VBC broadcast available to a larger area of Wellington would be of great
> benefit both to our organization and to the wider Wellington community.
> 
> The VBC 88.3 has shown a commitment to supporting a diverse range of
> musical and cultural communities in Wellington and emphasises content
> not available on other Wellington frequencies. We believe that
> increasing its broadcast’s coverage will be very beneficial to
> Wellington.
>  
> Yours Sincerely,

> Deborah Nissenbaum

> Wellington Independent Media Centre Collective Member
