...Thailand's other hit radio program doesn't do much to help its listeners at all. Instead, shock jock Veera Theerapat spends most of his on-air time ridiculing callers foolish enough to try to parry with Thailand's Howard Stern. At first, Bangkok denizens took offense at Veera's brassy attitude; this is, after all, a country where reserve and politeness are practically national characteristics. Newspapers chided Veera for bringing the worst of the West to the East. But Veera's direct approach soon caught on. "He always says just what he thinks," says engineer Chartchai Kaewsung, who tunes...

...targeting young guys, do you really want to throw around the phrase "emotional connection" like that? Hecht backpedals. "That's not an on-air term," he says. "Spike's a great name for a dog. Spike will be man's new best friend." Catchy slogan, but Spike will also need strong marquee programs--more like South Park than Gary the Rat--if this dog is going to hunt...

Poniewozik blasted the journalists and on-air personalities who dared express their approval for our nation's efforts in Iraq. He discussed bias to make his point. I find it refreshing for a news person to admit there is bias in the media. Unlike the majority of reporters, the "biased" individuals Poniewozik talks about often espouse the views of the vast majority of loyal Americans.

...station for a decade. "Radio is a way of reaching all people." SW Radio goes live on air at 6 p.m. Zimbabwe time each evening, and the first hour is devoted to Callback. Listeners dial a Zimbabwean number, and SW Radio returns the call, patching them into on-air chats. Hour two is Newsreel, devoted to current events. The final hour features programs such as From the Outside Looking In, a platform for exiled Zimbabweans. It's all about dialogue. "We didn't set up SW Radio Africa because we have answers," says Matinde. "We have plenty of questions...

...Putin and his camp. The ax fell in mid-2000, when Gusinsky was accused of embezzlement and arrested. He left the country and eventually was forced to sell his assets to Gazprom, the state-run natural-gas monopoly that would later use its security force to stage a dramatic on-air takeover of NTV. Parfyonov chose to stay rather than join colleagues who resigned in protest. Namedni has been NTV's main political news program since September 2001, and Parfyonov became the network's best-known face. After the takeover, Gazprom brought in Boris Jordan, a U.S. citizen, to head...
