The woman heard an advertisement on the air of one of the local radio stations. The commercial advertised the products of the moonshine shop. The phrase, which caused the audience's indignation, sounded like this: "Black Friday is only three days, the action in the Flask is not ***." Of course, the first three letters of the last word in the video itself were "crammed", but it is not difficult to rhyme a phrase. After repeatedly listening to advertisements, antitrust officials came to the conclusion that even this technique was intended to attract the attention of radio listeners. - The absence of the word (the use of the single-signal sound "pi") indicates its intentional concealment in order to attract the attention of consumers, - commented "Everything for You" in the competition authority, confirming that this phrase can be interpreted as a curse word. So, advertising can be safely recognized as inappropriate. However, unambiguous conclusions about this can be made only after the audit. news.vdv-s.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76277/) * Schedule of broadcasts of the Central Internal Broadcasting.

Fly performed live on the Journal Out issue of Journalism. According to the RFE / RL president, the main purpose of his visit to Moscow is to support the journalists of the Moscow bureau of Radio Liberty, primarily in connection with the recently adopted amendments to the law on media - "foreign agents". "We have this law with great concern, we see it as a threat to freedom of speech and freedom of the media," said Jamie Fly. He emphasized that Radio Liberty and a number of its regional projects have long been included in the list of "foreign agents," but the new amendments make it possible to extend this status to specific journalists. The Russian authorities argue the need for this law by the situation in which the Russian media in the United States are. Fly disagrees with this argument: "American citizens have no problems accessing RT and Sputnik products in the United States. We are in a different position in Russia, television and radio waves are inaccessible to us." According to the president of the media corporation, the pressure of the Russian authorities is more likely connected with the topics raised by Radio Liberty and regional projects, such as Sever.Realii and Sibir.Realii. Fly mentioned coverage of protests, investigations of corruption, a story about problems of education, health and the environment, and discussions about Russian foreign policy. "The authorities are suspicious of us, concerned about our work, Putin and his entourage are not interested in these topics being covered," said Jamie Fly. At the same time, he emphasized that the Russian authorities did not obstruct his trip to Moscow and maintain dialogue. During a trip to Moscow, Fly in particular meets with representatives of the Russian authorities. Speaking about the mission of Radio Liberty and the principles of its work, Fly said that his goal is to provide citizens with facts, especially about those areas of life that the state media are silent or insufficiently informed about, and uphold the truth. He stressed that only the citizens of Russia themselves can decide how to use the information they received, journalists do not incline them to any political actions. Jamie Fly also said that he visited the site of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, whom he knew well. Amendments to the law "On Mass Media - Foreign Agents" were adopted at the end of last year. The President of the RFE / RL then rated them as one of the "dangerous, ever-increasing efforts aimed at persecuting journalists of the media corporation Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty and other foreign media." According to Flay, they are "the next step to ensure that Russian citizens receive only information approved by the Kremlin." At the same time, RFE / RL emphasizes that it intends to comply with the requirements laid down by law. video: Youtube / Echo of Moscow / Jamie Fly / journalism / Golunov / Arrest of police officers / Hazard / Pickets / Blog out 01/30/20 photo: Vesna Andjic (RFE / RL) | text: svoboda.org (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76336/) 73!
