VOA journalists resist plans to restrict mission in support of media freedom

February 25, 2007

The Voice of America (VOA) marked its 65th anniversary Saturday amid plans to cancel radio broadcasts to many countries where press freedom is under attack. These program cuts are resisted by many former and current VOA journalists who see them as a dangerous departure from VOA's mission to support press freedom worldwide. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) - a bipartisan body managing VOA and other U.S. international broadcasts - plans to expand news coverage to the Middle East, North Korea and Latin America by eliminating or reducing programs to Russia, Tibet, China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and a number of other media-at-risk countries. Acting with apparent approval from the White House, the BBG also want to eliminate VOA's flagship English radio broadcast News Now.

Former and current VOA journalists who have criticized the BBG's plans as a betrayal of VOA's support for media freedom are circulating two online petitions asking the U.S. Congress to stop the proposed program cuts.

One of the petitions specifically opposes the planned elimination of VOA Uzbek radio broadcasts by pointing out that Uzbekistan's ruler Islam Karimov has effectively silenced political opposition and eliminated or forced underground nearly all independent media outlets.

This is the second time the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) - bipartisan body in charge of U.S. international broadcasts - is trying to eliminate VOA radio programs to Uzbekistan. The BBG had stopped VOA Uzbek radio programs once before, in August 2004, but the pressure from the U.S. Congress and human rights groups forced the BBG to resume them in June 2005.

This year the BBG is again trying to end VOA radio presence in Uzbekistan and in a number of other countries. In addition to VOA Uzbek radio programs, the BBG is planning to eliminate or reduce U.S. taxpayer-funded broadcasts to Kazakhstan, Russia, Tibet and China -- countries whose regimes were declared by the Paris-based nongovernmental organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) as major violators of media freedom and freedom of expression. Uzbekistan's leader Islam Karimov, Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Kazakhstan's authoritarian ruler Nursultan Nazarbayev and China's leader Hu Jintao have been all called by Reporters Without Borders "Predators of Press Freedom."

The second online petition initiated by a former VOA Associate Director Ted Lipien focuses on the BBG plans to eliminate VOA Russian radio broadcasts. The petition asks the U.S. Congress to reject the proposed cuts and demand from the White House and the BBG a consistent U.S. international broadcasting strategy in support of freedom.

FreeMediaOnline.org, a California-based nonprofit group founded to support freedom of the press worldwide, described these proposed cuts and reductions in U.S. international broadcasting as nothing less than a "gift to dictators and suppressors of press freedom." FreeMediaOnline.org believes that "this lack of consistency sends a terrible signal to defenders of freedom and courageous journalists around the world. Some of them, like independent Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, paid with their lives for exposing human rights violations. To make their voices heard, they have relied on VOA Russian radio programs which the White House and the BBG plan to eliminate."

According to the BBG, some program cuts are necessary to fund expansion of U.S. broadcasts to Iran and to other major Muslim countries and regions. Critics such as FreeMediaOnline.org activists have pointed out, however, that there are many other noncritical programs within the U.S. international broadcasting bureaucracy controlled by the BBG. They maintain that reducing these support programs instead could easily pay for new programming to the Middle East and for the much needed enhancement and modernization of programs and program delivery to countries like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China.

VOA first broadcast on shortwave to Nazi Germany February 24, 1942, just weeks after the United States entered World War Two. In that broadcast, news announcer William Harlan Hale told listeners, "The news may be good. The news may be bad. We shall tell you the truth."

VOA Director Dan Austin says although the technology of broadcasting may have changed in the intervening years, the Voice of America's adherence to its core mission remains the same. He says the agency will continue to honestly and accurately report the news. Austin did not address the issue of the program cuts demanded by the BBG and how they might affect VOA's mission. He was appointed to his position as VOA Director by the BBG.

Talk:In depth: XM and Sirius merger

The slash character (/) is to be avoided in article titles. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought so. Over on WP, someone moved the original article, "XM Sirius merger" to "XM/Sirius merger", and I just left it. TomXP411 16:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't really think it makes that much of a difference as /'s are not special in the main namespace. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Dupe?
This is currently a redundant article. However, there's a reason: I want to track major events involving the merger, so I'm using this article to consolidate links. When something new comes up, it will get posted here. When something major happens - such as a regulatory action, stockholder vote, or announcement from XM or Sirius, it might also merit its own article. This is based on Content_guide, which says to create an "In Depth" page to track an ongoing event.

TomXP411 16:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Guidance
I'm obviously new to Wikinews.

What I'm trying to do with this article is something I can't do on Wikipedia: keep a running journal of news articles and events related to the merger. I am trying to reference events that wouldn't be considered "encyclopedic" on WP, yet are newsworthy enough to merit comment.

I want to basically make this a day to day supplement to the WP article. The WP article itself gives the facts. I want this to give the color: what people think, why this merger may be good, why this merger may be bad. Mostly, I want to keep up to date, and keep other people up to date on what's going on.

To that end, I'm not sure about some things. Categories, for example: the recent edit comment, "(in depth page: in category:no publish? should be in Newsroom, neither on main page I think) " is confusing. What exactly does this mean? That this article should be in the Newsroom? What about "neither on main page?".

A few poeple have added categories. Thank you for that. :) If you could maybe leave some comments here, so I know what else needs to be done, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, TomXP411 07:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen any in depth reports since I've been here, so I'm not sure how it works. My "(in depth page: in category:no publish? should be in Newsroom, neither on main page I think) "-comment (sorry about my crappy English), refers to the following: since it is not really a time-specific article, I don't think it should be listed under a specific date on the main page. Neither should it be continually listed on the Newsroom as a developing article. This really is a different subset of pages. One way to filter them would be cat:No publish, however for some reason I can't understand the DynamicPageList in the newsroom keeps listing it... Maybe we should set up a different category to group all these reports. Anyway I think it's really valuable what you're doing here!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I too have never seen in 'In depth' report since I've been here, almost 3 years now. However I new category (maybe template?) might be needed, if more articles in this fashion are created.TomXP411, welcome to Wikinews! terinjokes | Talk | Come visit the WikiBistro 21:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Only sort of in depth thing I've sort of seen here is some Australian stuff, and DV's chili finger thingy (Chili_Finger_Incident). I believe for the most part they were linked from various other articles. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The best approach is a series of short articles, if you think you can get the number up to a half-dozen or more it'd merit Category:XM-Sirius merger. If you can't get beyond 3-4 sentences for a particular day the information should go in the briefs - which encourages other people to work on them. --Brian McNeil / talk 23:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

No publish
What is the point of this if its not on the mainpage? No publish is useless in this case. DragonFire1024 19:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This will never appear anywhere with no publish and no date template. If you want a background piece you need several articles to group in a category. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I plan on writing up a summary of the monopoly hearing tonight. That will be an article in its own right. Should I create a category and include the text in this article as part of the category? Or do I create a category and include this as one of the items in the category? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. (I do understand that I need more than one article to make a category - that makes perfect sense.) TomXP411 23:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe it shouldn't be on the main page because it's not a time specific-event. You could create an infobox with a category to list the articles, and put this page as background information. I mention in also in the discussion above.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to create the infobox. Could you drop one in so I can see how it's done? Thanks. TomXP411 05:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Newsworthy
This article, to me, is becoming less and less like news but more an aricle for 'pedia. What does everyone else think??--Markie Talk 21:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Background pieces aren't always newsworthy in their own right. The funny part is that I addressed these issues on Wikipedia and was told "That's all speculation. Take your article to Wikinews". So I did. I strongly believe this article is important, and the WP people are right - the mass of this article isn't really encyclopedia appropriate.

I spend quite a bit of time on XMFan.com, and I see the same questions asked almost every day. That's why I started this article, but then people STILL asked the same questions, so I started the FAQ section and have started pointing people here. I have seen similar things in the past in print news, where the paper will run an article about a current event and run another one that gives background information. Magazines run sidebars all the time, with information related to a main article. I'm trying to document this merger because this is an interesting opportunity from many perspectives: the consolidation in the radio market affects our voice in the American political system, the potential for monopoly is a major financial issue, and the consumers deserve to known, as obvious stakeholders in this. Right now, I can point people here and say "look here and in 5 minutes, you'll know all that anyone else does." Indeed, I think that the combination of Wikipedia and Wikinews is a powerful force for informing the public.

Anyhow, this article isn't supposed to stand alone. (Hence the No Publish flag) It's to support articles written about the actual events of the merger as they happen. I've already talked to several people who read this and are glad it's here. Also, as far as I know, it's the only place on the Internet that actually consolidates the merger information that is available. --TomXP411 16:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * We've had a discussion about this before, it's not a classical news report but an In depth-coverage, the first of it's kind on Wikinews apparently, although it's mentioned in the content guide (or somewhere).--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Typo?
It seems that the word "exiting" should be replaced with the word "existing". Please edit the article if I am correct. I quote: ;Will I need a new radio?: The answer is "maybe". Conflicting reports have been popping up from different people in Sirius. Both companies have made statements that subscribers' exiting receivers will continue to work. However, some people involved with Sirius have said that duplicates will be removed. The problem is that there is only room for so many channels, and if the company wants to bring new content, some channels will have to be removed. Also, there is no cost savings in running all of the existing channels. Most of the music stations on each network have a parallel station on the other network. Also, the duplicate simulcast stations (CNN and Fox, for example) can be cut from one network. Without having exact figures, it's likely that Sirius and XM together could cut 1/3 or more of their channels without losing content. Under this scenario, it's possible that one set of radios would lose an entire genre of music, such as XM losing its Urban category and Sirius losing its rock category.

Outdated
This article pertains to an active news story but has not been updated with key events since June 2007. Because of this, certain elements are misleading and/or false. In the FAQ, the section on pricing is very vague. Sirius and XM have announced their post-merger A La Carte pricing. The Department of Justice has approved the merger as of March 24, 2008. The FCC still has to approve the merger, however. --Thoreau - (talk) 20:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Iranian TV station announces first space rocket launch

February 25, 2007 In Iran, the state-controlled TV station has announced that the country for the first time test-fired a space rocket, with scientific equipment aboard. "The first space rocket has been successfully launched into space," the station's website reported. The rocket was later reported not be designed to reach an orbit. Iran claims it reached an altitude of 94 miles and then parachuted home. No images have been released, and no other reports have confirmed the launch.

The announcement comes at a time of international tension over Iran's nuclear program. In a speech today, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad compared his country's nuclear program with a train with no brakes and no reverse gear. Manouchehr Mohammadi, a deputy foreign minister, said the country had prepared itself for a standoff over its nuclear activities. Diplomats said that if Iran would possess advanced missile capabilities it would be of concern to the nations who believe Iran is developing nuclear weapons, something Iran denies.

The head of the Iranian space center, Mohsen Bahrami, was quoted saying that the scientific material on board came from the science and from the defence ministry. He also said that the test was in line with international regulations on the matter. Although the news would mean a significant breakthrough for Iran's missile technology, the story was only mentioned during one TV broadcast, and not at all by other official Iranian media.

Iran has said in the past it wants more satellites to increase its cellular phone and internet capabilities. It also said it hopes to become a center for science and technology in the region.

Since 2005, Iran already has one satellite in space, Sinah-1, which was launched in Russia with a Russian rocket. The rocket was described as serving telecommunication and research purposes. Soon after the 2005 launch, Iran announced they would develop their own launcher. Yesterday, the Iranian Defence Minister spoke of Iran's plans for their own satellite launcher, and disclosed his country's desire to join the club of countries with a space program.

Deco
This is REALLY late, but you posted in the history section of Champions League round of sixteen—first leg results that Deco is Portugese, not Brazilian. I'm just letting you know that that is incorrect. Deco was born in Brazil, but plays for Portugal due to his years of Portugese citizenship. It's fun to learn.—01:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Dark Squall

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mxhall. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mxhall~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Virginia legislature issues apology for slavery

February 26, 2007

The Virginia voted unanimously Saturday in favor of a resolution apologizing for its role in. The former center of the during the  became the first U.S. slave state to issue such a proclamation.

"This session will be remembered for a lot of things, but 20 years hence I suspect one of those things will be the fact that we came together and passed this resolution," said Delegate A. Donald McEachin, a Democrat who sponsored it in the House of Delegates.

The resolution passed the Virginia House 96-0 and the Virginia Senate on voice vote. The resolution says government-sanctioned slavery "ranks as the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our founding ideals in our nation’s history, and the abolition of slavery was followed by systematic discrimination, enforced segregation, and other insidious institutions and practices toward Americans of African descent that were rooted in racism, racial bias, and racial misunderstanding." The measure also expressed regret for "the exploitation of Native Americans."

"The resolution's wording was a compromise between House and Senate lawmakers who tweaked the language from issuing an apology, to expressing 'contrition,' to expressing 'profound regret,'" according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Prior to the cessation of slave importation, Virginia was a central hub in the slave trade. Historians estimate that more than 100,000 slaves passed through ports on the James River at Richmond, the state's capital.

and are considering similar resolutions.

Husam Abu Amara of Globalstar Telecom sited in currency scam
First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases. Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources.

Thanks again! --+Deprifry+ 01:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Scorsese finally scores Oscar gold with "The Departed"

February 26, 2007

Martin Scorsese's violent epic The Departed captured the Best Picture of 2006 at the 79th Annual Academy Awards, held Sunday evening in Los Angeles. The Warner Bros. movie also won three other Oscars, including Best Director for Scorsese (his first ever award), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing.

The musical Dreamgirls, which headed into the awards ceremony with the most nominations, managed to score only two Oscars for Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Hudson) and Best Sound Mixing.

Among the other winners were Alan Arkin (Best Supporting Actor, Little Miss Sunshine) and Helen Mirren (Best Actress, The Queen). Forest Whitaker won the award for Best Actor for his performance in The Last King of Scotland), denying Peter O'Toole an Oscar for the eighth time (not counting an honorary Oscar won in 2003). The acclaimed documentary An Inconvenient Truth (conceived by former Vice President Al Gore about global warming) won the Best Documentary Feature award, and Happy Feet won for Best Animated Feature. The Mexican film Pan's Labyrinth was the second most awarded film with three Oscars (Cinematography, Makeup, Art Direction).

Chelsea beats Arsenal in Carling Cup

February 26, 2007

A heated showdown occurred in the all London Carling Cup final yesterday at Millennium Stadium. Chelsea fielded a full strength side, including Andriy Shevchenko, Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba, and skipper John Terry. Arsenal on the other hand fielded a young side, including Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Jeremie Aliadiere, and Justin Hoyte.

Despite their apparent lack of experience, Arsenal started out the match strongly, with crisp passing and great control. They pressed their advantage, and forced Chelsea keeper Petr Cech into several saves. On 12 minutes, Theo Walcott struck gold, as he orcestrated a give and go with Abou Diaby and slotted the ball into the far corner of the net, scoring his first ever goal for the Gunners. Soon after, Baptista of Arsenal had a legitimate claim for a penalty, but referee Howard Webb wouldn't hear of it. Chelsea struck back quickly, and a hint of offside was shown as Didier Drogba was played in by an over the top ball by Michael Ballack. The Ivory Coast striker didn't wait for a whistle, and slotted the ball between Manuel Almunia's legs to tie the match. A few more chances were spurned due to poor finishing before the break, but the game went into halftime drawn at one a piece.

The second half started much as the first, with the youthful exuberance of Arsenal showing through, as they continued to press. Chelsea's output was increased as well however, with the addition of Arjen Robben at the exspense of Makelele. 2 yellow cards were handed out to Chelsea in the next few minutes, before the game took a huge downturn. Chelsea skipper John Terry was seriously injured, when Diaby's foot connected squarly with his face as Diaby attempted to clear the ball. Terry was taken off in a stretcher and was replaced by Mikel. The loss of their captain seemed to push Chelsea to new levels, as Drogba forced a fine save out of Almunia, and Lampard saw his shot go off the woodwork. Arsenal were not able to hold on, and on 81 minutes, Denilson made a sloppy pass and Robben picked up the scraps. He sent a cross in as Drogba beat Senderos to the ball and headed in his 28th of the campaign. The blue tide continued, and Shevchenko blasted a ball off the woodwork, missing his chance to seal the victory.

As the game entered stoppage time, Mikel and Toure entered a shoving match, and more players got involved. Coaches took the field to attempt to settle their players, and when all was finally calm, Mikel and Toure were shown red cards, along with Adebayor of Arsenal. The game was finally called at 101 minutes, and stand in skipper Lampard was able to hoist the Carling Cup.

Sherry Lansing thankful for Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar

February 26, 2007

Given to an "individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry", the Jean Hersholt Award is not an annual honor, but rather an occasional prestigious title.

This year's winner was Sherry Lansing, the former CEO of Paramount Pictures and the first woman to head a major studio. Her biography in Wikipedia provides a full overview of her industry and humanitarian accomplishments.

She delivered the following acceptance speech at the 79th Annual Academy Awards ceremony last night: I am deeply honored and very grateful to receive this award, but I also must admit that it feels a little strange to be singled out. So many of you have causes that you are equally passionate about. That is really what is so wonderful about the movie industry -- not only do we get to make films that matter, but we also work in a culture where we are encouraged to speak out. We may not always agree, but we do always care.

Through my work, I have met scientists who struggle every day to find cures for diseases. They do so quietly -- without glamour or attention, but always with passion and conviction. I have met school teachers who are battling against insurmountable odds, and yet they never stop trying to reach our children. To me, they are the real heroes, and tonight I share this honor with all of them.

On a personal note, I want to thank my husband Billy and our two boys Cedric and Jack, whose unconditional love gives me the courage to fight every day for what I believe in. And a special thank you to the members of the Academy for this extraordinary honor. I promise to spend the rest of my life trying to live up to it.

She joins a list of only been six honorees in the last seventeen years, Audrey Hepburn (1992, posthumously), Elizabeth Taylor (1992), Paul Newman (1993), Quincy Jones (1994), Arthur Hiller (2001), and Roger Mayer (2004).

Golfer sues law firm over Wikipedia article defacement

February 26, 2007

Golfer Fuzzy Zoeller wants to sue the anonymous person who vandalised his article in the Wikipedia encyclopedia, a website resource almost anyone can edit.

An IP address from Josef Silny & Associates, a Miami education consulting firm, wrote a biased paragraph about him creating uproar from the golfer. The entry was posted twice: once sometime last year, and again in December 2006. The paragraph was removed last month, and deleted from the article history by Danny Wool, a staff member of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Zoeller is suing Josef Silny & Associates to find out who added this text.

"The Zoeller family wants to take a stand to put a stop to this. Otherwise, we're all just victims of the Internet vandals out there. They ought not to be able to act with impunity," said Zoeller's attorney, Scott Sheftall.

The offensive edits, about which the suit is based, allegedly suggested that Zoeller admitted to consuming mass quantities of drugs and alcohol and beat his wife.

Through the court, Wikipedia can not be sued for a vandalous edit. The person or company, in this case, will be sued. In fact, the Wikimedia Foundation has not been contacted by Zoeller or his representatives about the lawsuit.

Talk:Golfer sues law firm over Wikipedia article defacement

This is the funniest thing I have heard in a long, long time. 210.54.2.243 21:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC) (not logged in, Nzgabriel.)

Misleading headline?
Personally, I think the headline is a bit off. It says that the golfer is suing Wikipedia itself, when the opening paragraph states it's the Wikipedia editor who vandalised the article. Which is more correct? Dragei 21:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Messedrocker moved the article from Golfer sues Wikipedia over vandal edit to Golfer sues Wikipedia editor over article defacement. --Thunderhead - (talk) 23:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, just noticed that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'd also like to thank Messedrocker for making the headline more accurate to the article. Dragei 00:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Even more accurate, Golfer sues law firm over Wikipedia article defacement. Zoeller doesn't know who the editor is exactly, and he's suing the firm to find out who they are. --  Zanimum 15:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

wikipedia revisions
First "wrote a biased paragraph about him" isn't sufficient information. We'll need the exact quotes (and ideally a link to the wikipedia article versions).

Second I suspect this article has incorect information since his pedia article has no edits between August 2006 and January 2007. I'm not sure why you'd bother deleting these edits. Otoh, if edits were delted, this article needs to say so, since it appears false otherwise. Nyarlathotep 03:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Here are the court documents which include the quotes apperently. Nyarlathotep 03:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * In rare cases, administrators can delete specific edits out of articles, to remove libel. You delete the full article, then restore only certain edits. (We can actually do it here too, but I've never heard of it used on Wikinews.) --  Zanimum 15:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * We've done it numerous times here too, mostly to remove copyright infringements. --+Deprifry+ 15:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never heard that done to remove copyright infringements. (I've seen It be done to remove a couple other things though). Bawolff ☺☻ 23:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Canada's Astral Media Inc. to aquire Standard Radio

February 26, 2007

Canadian Astral Media Inc. will buy out Standard Radio Inc., which runs many radio stations in Canada. Standard Radio Inc. is the largest privately owned multimedia company in Canada.

Montreal based Astral Media Inc. will buy all of the assets from Standard Radio Inc. for about CAN$1.2-billion. Standard Radio Inc.'s 52 radio stations, and Astral's 29, will be brought together by Astral Media Inc. This will give Astral 81 radio stations in total. This makes Astral the largest radio operator in Canada of FM and AM radio.

"With the acquisition of Standard Radio, Astral Media will not only be acquiring the best performing radio stations in the country, we will at the same time acquire a company with similar values and culture. said Ian Greenberg, President and CEO of Astral Media.

"Over the past four decades the Slaight family has built a remarkable collection of strong radio brands and has contributed meaningfully in shaping the Canadian radio industry as we know it today. We are delighted with the prospect of welcoming Standard Radio's employees into our team."

Gary Slaight, President and CEO of Standard Radio also commented on the deal.

"We are looking forward to becoming a part of the Astral Media family," said Gary Slaight, President and CEO of Standard Radio. "We are pleased to see our legacy live on with a company such as Astral that has such a strong track record and commitment to its employees and to the Canadian radio and television industries."

All of Astral's radio stations are run in Quebec and Atlantic Canada and it also runs various television stations across Canada. Astral also has two french channels that broadcast on Sirius satellite radio Canada.

The company hopes to finalize the deal in or before April.

Talk:"Civil defence" thwarts Israeli air strike on Gaza refugee camp

The idea that Israel would set up an attack on a house in a refugee camp illustrates the ignorance of the Israeli military. How many times since June of '06 has Israel fired upon targets that were claimed to be housing the enemy, only to miss and kill civilians and blame it on poor targeting? This is the 21st century and they are using munitions sold to the Israeli government by the US government. You would think they would be able to target the correct house. With this in mind, you would hope that the Israeli military would acknowledge their not so perfect 'targeting procedures' and avoid shooting at targets within REFUGEE CAMPS in order to avoid further civilian deaths.

New Zealand's state broadcaster plans to dismiss 160 workers

February 27, 2007

The state broadcaster of New Zealand, Television New Zealand (TVNZ), has announced its plans to fire at least 160 people because they have falling revenue, mainly from their NZ$9.3 million advertising loss.

A memorandum, or "memo", was circulating the 1,100 employer, TVNZ yesterday from CEO, Rick Ellis, which stated that their "guesstimate" of job losses was around 130-160. 50 of the job losses will be from the news and current affairs department, where a total of 350 people currently work. The numbers are not set in stone, according to a spokesperson for TVNZ.

The lay-offs have been expected since late last year where he announced it to a parliamentary select committee.

The union which represents some of the staff working at TVNZ, Engineering Printing and Manufacturing Union, said that some of the staff are asking themselves how TVNZ will be able to start and manage the new digital 24 hour news channel with fewer staff. They are seeking to talk to TVNZ.

In two weeks time, staff will be asked what they think of the proposed changes, which also includes a top level management restructuring.

Steve Mahery, broadcasting minister, said, "The restructuring of TVNZ is an operational issue, and I expect they'll meet their charter requirements. How they structure the company to achieve this is entirely up to them."

Liberals in Quebec gain support over separatist Parti Québécois

February 27, 2007

Ahead of an upcoming election in the Canadian province of Quebec, the Parti libéral du Québec (Liberal Party of Quebec) are in the lead, well ahead of the separatist Parti Québécois (PQ), says a poll done by Montreal based newspaper Le Devoir.

The Liberals are at 37% support, 28% for the PQ, and 24% for the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ) (Democratic Action of Quebec).

The Liberals, which form the current government in the province, could win again if they had a 6-point lead, says Jean-Marc Leger, president of Leger Marketing.

Quebecers were also asked who is leading the best campaign; 31% for Jean Charest, 25% Mario Dumont, and 14% for André Boisclair.

Jean Charest, the leader of the Quebec Liberals, wants Quebec to stay in Canada while the PQ, lead by André Boisclair, wants the province to separate completely. Mario Dumont, leader of the ADQ, also wants Quebec to stay in Canada. If the PQ were to win the election, a referendum on separation could be put to the people of the province, the results of which could form the basis of negotiation with Canada on sovereignty.

However, more Quebecers want to stay in Canada then to separate. In a referendum, about 56% would say no to separation and 44% yes, according to the latest polls. The percentage of Quebecers wanting to separate from Canada has not changed markedly over time.

The official voting day is March 26.

Dress code threats close Peshawar schools

February 27, 2007

Schools in the city Peshawar, Pakistan were closed for two days at the end of last week after anonymous threats were received warning female students to wear veils in class.

The threats, believed originating from members of the Taliban movement, along with the detention of two would-be suicide bombers before they exploded themselves, raised tensions and closed the schools out of safety concerns for the students.

One of the two suicide bombers was a woman who attempted enter the Koochi Bazaar, a market in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province. Purses carried by women are routinely searched before entering the market. Explosives were discovered in the purse carried by a woman who refused the search and tried to walk away.

US and Italian ambassadors attacked in Sri Lanka

February 27, 2007

The U.S. and Italian ambassadors to Sri Lanka were "slightly injured" when their helicopters were targeted by mortars on a landing strip in Batticaloa.

The projectiles were fired by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Tamil Tigers) in Sri Lanka's east on Tuesday, officials said.

U.S. ambassador Robert Blake is reported to be "alright", Italian Pio Mariani suffered head wounds from shrapnel. They had already landed and disembarked from their aircraft when the explosions took place.

A spokesman for LTTE said they mistook them for a military target, and have apologized. They blame the military, who they say landed the diplomats in a site used for attacks on the rebels, even this very morning.

The ambassadors were reportedly visiting the area that was recently liberated by the Sri Lankan forces to observe the development activities of the area.
