Talking PointHuge changes under way in international broadcasting
Last week radio and television broadcasters from across the world - from
China to the United States - gathered in Prague to discuss the future of
international broadcasting. This was the third annual conference of the
Association of International Broadcasters. This year there was a huge
amount to discuss, especially with the intense and long-running debate
over the role of the media in the war in Iraq. And there was also plenty
of discussion over issues directly relevant to us at Radio Prague - what
is the future for smaller international broadcasters in a changing
international market, and where are the latest technologies taking
international broadcasting? I spoke to someone who probably knows more
than anyone else about the subject, Jonathan Marks, whose company Critical
Distance, advises international broadcasters. I began by asking him to
look into his crystal ball.

Talking PointMemories of the Communist past motivate Czechs to support human rights in Cuba
Exactly a year ago, dozens of homes of Cuban human rights activists and
independent journalists were raided under the direct order of Cuba's
Dictator Fidel Castro. Most of their belongings, including radios,
typewriters, and family photos were confiscated and the operation
culminated with the arrest of seventy-five men and women. All were later
sentenced to serve between fifteen and twenty-nine years in prisons, some
of them hundreds of kilometres away from their families.
