'RIGHT NOW'
'RIGHT NOW' OPPORTUNITIES
Right Now is a volunteer, not-for-profit media organisation led by young
people focused on human rights issues in Australia.
Right Now is committed to covering human rights issues through free,
accessible, creative and engaging online, print and radio media. Its
members believe that creating a positive, rights-respecting culture in
Australia begins with the flow of information.
Right Now Magazine, which was first published in 2007, seeks to
"democratise" the human rights dialogue by presenting a space in which
everyone- not just the "intellectual elite"- can express their opinion.
Each issue, over 1800 copies of the publication are distributed free of
charge to every university library in Australia; state and federal courts
in Victoria; NGOs, community legal centres, law firms and Government
sectors Australia-wide. In addition, Right Now Radio, which is broadcast
weekly on Melbourne’s 3CR radio station, gives voice to human rights
across the community. Right Now Radio is now available as a Podcast on
3CR’s website, www.3cr.org.au, making it available to a wide range of
people.
Although a website was launched to complement the magazine in 2007, Right
Now is currently working to redesign its website to become a comprehensive
online human rights portal featuring news, information, commentary and
much more. This is part of Right Now’s commitment to providing equitable
access to information, and is an exciting new project for the team.
