Credit Alessandro Di Meo/EPA, via Shutterstock By Jason Horowitz Feb. 12, 2019 ROME -- When he was prime minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, fighting desperately to win a referendum on which he had staked his job, thought that one particular rally had gone well. He was surprised, then, to discover that RT, the international Russian television network with close ties to the Kremlin that was formerly known as Russia Today, had mischaracterized the pro-Renzi event on Oct. 29, 2016, as "Protests against the Italian prime minister ahead of the referendum on the Constitution." Mr. Renzi's opponents quickly latched on to the report and shared it widely on social media, prompting the Italian leader to express his displeasure directly to Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president. "Does it seem reasonable to you that Russia Today often uses headlines that are not true?" he asked Mr. Putin in a phone call. "Why do they have to have reports today on some protest against me, if that square is full of my people, defending our reform?" Mr. Putin paused and responded: "Matteo, you know that it is not up to me what journalists do. But I'll try and see if I can help you." Two hours later, the Russian network had corrected the headline... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/12/world/europe/matteo-renzi-putin-russia.html (via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** TAJIKISTAN. 4765.059, Feb 12 at 1345, VP signal from something, presumed Tajik Radio, Dushanbe.

February 27, 2019, marks 100 years since the appearance of a human voice on the radio. This event was of great importance for the development of public broadcasting in our country and laid the foundation for the emergence of television. In the USSR, on February 27, 1919, at 10:02 and 11:08 CET, live human speech was transmitted by radio instead of Morse code for the first time: "Hello, hello. Says Nizhny Novgorod Radio Lab. One two Three. How do you hear? ". Simple words transmitted by radio caused a real shock at the time. Telegrams began to be sent to the laboratory: "They heard a human voice. Explain! " And in the same year, the Nizhny Novgorod Radio Laboratory (NRL) began systematic experimental radio broadcasts. NRL, the first in our country research and experimental center in the field of radio and television, radio and television, was established in August 1918. Here, under the leadership of Mikhail Alexandrovich Bonch-Bruyevich, a radiotelephone and the first radio tubes were created, a scheme of a typical receiving radio station, television equipment was developed.

The French private radio station Europe-1 has been collecting information on its listeners who have been on the air for fifteen years. Presenters and producers made notes about sexual orientation and audience of the audience, adding often offensive comments. Employees of the radio station called trying to call "fascists", "idiots" and "racists." According to the report of the National Data Processing and Civil Liberties Commission (CNIL), which journalists of the French Mediapart were able to familiarize themselves with, the special program Chamane ("Shaman") was used to collect data from Europe-1. With its help, journalists and producers could rate the caller on a scale from "excellent" to "bad" and add "own opinion" about the listener. Since 2002, employees of Europe-1 have added more than 573 thousand numbers to the database. Some of the records contained information about the caller's voice ("incomprehensible North African accent", "accent of a Jew from Tunisia", "voice of an old idiot"), others about health ("he has a sick-list, he wants to talk about his cancer," "alcoholic", "Patrice with HIV infection"). Producers noted the sexual orientation and ethnicity of the audience. The radio station also kept a black list consisting of 448 telephone numbers. Radio employees were not allowed to broadcast subscribers who called from these numbers. As noted by Mediapart, often students did not know that they were forbidden to participate in the programs and continued to call the studio. At the same time, the cost per minute of connection for Europe-1 short number is 50 eurocents. French law prohibits the collection of information about the health, sexual orientation and race of users without their consent. The maximum penalty for violation is 1.5 million euros. Despite this, the regulator decided not to punish the radio station and not to publish a closed report. Representatives of Europe-1 responded to the publication of the Mediapart and acknowledged the list. "We have fixed these unacceptable violations. Our future is respect for listeners, "said the vice-president of the radio station Laurent Gimieux. Europe-1 added that the CNIL report was released in 2017. eadaily.com (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__72458/) * South Africa ----------------------- Bye bye Meyerton, all transmissions will be ending on March 30 SOUTH AFRICA Bye bye Meyerton!
