John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 16 May 1925:<br> MR. MASSEY’S DEATH</p><p> The first news which some Wellington residents had of the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/death" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>death</span></a> of the late Mr. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Massey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Massey</span></a> was conveyed to them by wireless. The Prime Minister’s death was announced by the local broadcasting station, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/2YK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>2YK</span></a>, when it opened up for the usual Sunday concert, and the programme was commenced with Chopin’s “Funeral March.” Even earlier than that, those who happened to be listening to <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/1YB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1YB</span></a>, which was transmitting a church service, heard the announcement from that city. On Thursday evening 2YK opened up at 7 o’clock, and gave a special concert of a character appropriate to the day of the late Prime Minister’s funeral. The first item was the repetition by the Rev. G. Millar, of Dunedin, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, of the funeral oration he had given earlier in the day. The delivery was admirable, and those who heard it, transmitted with perfect clarity, must have been much impressed and touched.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250516.2.159.2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250516.2.159.2</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Broadcasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Broadcasting</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Radio</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PrimeMinisters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrimeMinisters</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Funerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Funerals</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Orations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Orations</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The FCC is quietly contemplating a fundamental restructuring of all broadcasting in the United States, via a new DRM-based standard for digital television equipment, enforced by a private “security authority” with control over licensing, encryption, and compliance. This move is confusingly called the “ATSC Transition” (ATSC is the digital TV standard the US switched to in 2009 – the “transition” here is to ATSC 3.0, a new version with built-in DRM).</p><p>The “ATSC Transition” is championed by the National Association of Broadcasters, who want to effectively privatize the public airwaves, allowing broadcasters to encrypt over-the-air programming, meaning that you will only be able to receive those encrypted shows if you buy a new TV with built-in DRM keys. It’s a tax on American TV viewers, forcing you to buy a new TV so you can continue to access a public resource you already own. </p><p>This may not strike you as a big deal. Lots of us have given up on broadcast and get all our TV over the internet.

"The BBC is the heart of the UK’s media system. Yet despite the BBC being publicly funded, the public have no control over how it works.

Politicians have too much power to pressure the BBC, and it is struggling to compete against global streaming services and social media companies. Without radical reform, the BBC faces a bleak future of dwindling audiences and the loss of public trust.

By the end of 2027 the government is required to renew the BBC’s Royal Charter, which will set the terms of how the BBC operates for the next decade. The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has said she supports mutualising the BBC, with new structures for “genuine public representation and participation”.

This briefing explains how to transform the BBC into a new kind of institution: a public service mutual. Mutual organisations are run for the benefit of their members, and members are actively and directly involved in its operations.

As a public service mutual, the BBC will belong to all of us by right. We will all become BBC members — active and direct participants in its mission to inform, educate, entertain and connect.

Democratic mutualisation of the BBC requires that all members have two new powers, which together secure public representation and participation:"

“A #Coalition government would divert more than 10% of annual government funding for #CreativeAustralia to a single cultural project and unspecified broadcasting programs if elected at Saturday’s federal election.

In the Coalition’s #PolicyCostings, released on Thursday, the “safe, sustainable and connected communities” section contained a pledge to “#redirect” $33.2m of Creative Australia’s annual #funding of $312m “to #MelbourneJewishArtsQuarter and supporting #broadcasting”.

The quarter is a planned new centre celebrating Jewish #arts, #culture, #food and #shopping in #Elsternwick in #Melbourne.”

Entitlement. Since the LNP has no policy, the funding could be more than the stated 10%.

Georgia's main independent TV channel closes.

The clampdown on Georgian media is accelerating.

Starting Thursday, 1 May, the opposition-aligned television channel Mtavari will cease broadcasting amid Tbilisi's growing rapprochement with Moscow and persecution of opponents by the pro-Russian governing party, Georgian Dream.
