Exploration of Local Storytelling

Localism in broadcasting is emphasized as essential for connecting with communities and fostering a sense of place. The workshop conducted in the stunning Planica valley illustrated this concept, encouraging participants from Radio Slovenia to focus on underreported rural areas. Matej Propotnik, responsible for selecting this location, believes such initiatives can help the station better serve its audience by highlighting unique local stories. This approach not only revitalizes the local narrative but also strengthens the bond between the media and its listeners.
