Sicma FM menjadi radio komunitas

Setelah bertahun-tahun senyap dari suara radio, udara Sorowako kembali diisi siaran Sicma FM, radio komunitas yang dijalankan kalangan muda di wilayah Desa Magani . Dirintis sejak 2000, Sicma FM  adalah bagian dari Sorowako Intelektual Club Magani (Sicma). Dalam perjalanannya, masalah teknis dan legalitas kerap membelit radio yang mengudara di gelombang 101.1 Mhz ini.
Berawal dari workshop singkat dengan pegiat Jaringan Radio Komunitas Indonesia (JRKI) pada awal November lalu, Sicma pun menggagas “Sekolah Radio Komunitas” yang melibatkan 39 peserta. Antara lain pengelola Sicma FM, unsur pemerintah desa dan kecamatan serta siswa sekolah menengah di Sorowako. Didukung manajemen PT Vale dan Jirak (Jaringan Independen Radio Komunitas) Celebes, simpul jaringan di Sulawesi Selatan, acara diadakan pada 8-9 Desember 2012, di ruang A1 HRPD dan studio Sicma FM, Jalan Krakatau.

Ahmad Rifai, ketua panitia, menyebutkan pelatihan tersebut dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas pengelola radio sekaligus mempromosikan gagasan bahwa masyarakat juga berhak untuk mengelola informasi. “Sumber informasi bukan hanya media mainstream, masyarakat pun berhak memberitakan hal-hal yang dekat dengan keseharian mereka,” kata Rifai.  Rudi Rustam, pemateri dari Jirak Celebes, menguatkan Rifai. “Penyiaran komunitas menganut prinsip dari, oleh dan untuk masyarakat. Informasinya bersifat bottom up  atau mewakili suara masyarakat,” tegasnya. Hampir senada, Kepala Desa Magani Amran Akmal, mengharap peran Sicma FM lebih dari sekadar sumber informasi dan hiburan. “Saya juga berharap radio ini nantinya akan menjadi alat kontrol sosial dan corong bagi masyarakat Nuha,” katanya. Sejalan dengan misinya sebagai radio komunitas, Sicma FM  akan mengelola informasi yang menyentuh sebanyak mungkin elemen masyarakat di Sorowako. “Termasuk kehidupan masyarakat, karyawan, informasi keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja, kebijakan pemerintah daerah, bahkan masalah pertanian,” pungkas Rifai.
