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

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

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.
