How to share audio using Audiograms and Shortcut, a new Latin American cybersecurity tool and more in this week's Digital Media Mash Up, produced by the Center for International Media Assistance.
Two new tools at the cutting edge of audio sharing
When you hear a great story on the radio, there is no easy way to send it to your friends. You might be in the car listening to live radio, doing the dishes with a podcast on, or streaming on the computer.

Turn up the volume: Empowering women through media
Women are underrepresented in the decision-making processes that affect their lives, from G20 summits and national parliaments, to local governments and even households. In many cases, media not only reflects inequalities between men and women, but also amplifies and entrenches them.
This practice briefing sets out what BBC Media Action has learned about how media can provide a platform for both men and women to hold their leaders to account, while empowering them to participate in their own communities. (BBC Media Action, 10/2016)
