Есть "Свобода"?
Jul. 7th, 2006 02:12 pmНекоторые отечественные медиа, ссылаясь на Washington Post, пишут, что "более 60 российских радиостанций прекратили ретрансляцию программ "Голоса Америки" и "Радио Свобода"
Нужно сказать, что источник - статья в Washington Post, не очень информативен. В статье нет указания на точное название распоряжения, цитируются преимущественно американцы, а с российской - Евгений Стрельчик, должность которого названа неточно (судя по всему, он чиновник Росохранкультуры, а не Министерства культуры и массовых коммуникаций) и анонимы.
Russian regulators have forced more than 60 radio stations to stop broadcasting news reports produced by Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, according to radio managers and Russian officials.
The regulators cited license violations and unauthorized changes in programming format. But senior executives at the U.S.-government-funded broadcast services and at the stations blame the Kremlin for the crackdown, which has knocked the reports off stations from St. Petersburg in western Russia to Vladivostok in the Far East...
Of the 30 affiliate stations Radio Liberty had in Russia in 2005, it now has only four, according to Trimble. Of the 42 stations that rebroadcast material from Voice of America in 2005, only five are still working with the organization, according to the board of governors....
"We do not have any problem with Radio Liberty or Voice of America," said Yevgeny Strelchik, an adviser to the Culture Ministry's top mass media official. "But if our radio stations change their concept, they should say so, and then the commission will decide whether to approve it or not. They can't broadcast somebody else's product without having the license for it. . . . This is the law."
He also said: "You should ask the general director of Radio Russia how hard it is to get a license to broadcast in the U.S. He tried many times. Their requirements are much stricter."
Russian partners of the U.S. services said in interviews that they valued the American programming but feared they would lose their licenses if they continued to carry it. Managers and journalists at Russian stations said they felt clear pressure from bureaucrats to drop the programming and to make no attempt to get a license that would allow the American material to remain on the air. Two stations that did apply for revised licenses to broadcast Radio Liberty were denied, according to U.S. and Russian officials.
One radio manager said: "Of course, I felt the pressure. . . . They never tell you anything directly. Instead they come up with numerous complaints trying to find faults, they start their checkups, they would be looking at your license over and over again. But the message is clear."
Кто-нибудь знает, что-то реально произошло с работой тех региональных вещателей, что ретранслируют "Голос Америки" и "Свободу"?
