Listen to “On the Media”
July 17th, 2007 by jrdruker
Before I forget, it’s worth checking out the excellent NPR program “On the Media” this week. It’s always good, but this week there are two segments from our region of coverage:
Liberty Island
Radio Liberty, once a crude propaganda tool designed to pierce the Iron Curtain, has remade itself into as a respected news outlet. But with the Kremlin blocking it in most regions of Russia, and possible budget cuts at home, Liberty is fighting to be heard.
Rock and Role Play
Young fans of Croatian rock star Marko Perkovic attend his concerts sporting symbols from Croatia’s fascist past. They say it’s not about fascism, but national pride. Sdrjan Dvornik of the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights says Croatian youth don’t know their country’s history because it’s not covered in schools.
