Closure of Gosteleradio

[John Dunn]

There is more about it here:
http://www.novayagazeta.ru/arts/61444.html

It is not so much a closure as a change of ownership, albeit one that is not thought likely to be of benefit to this particular resource.  It is perhaps unfortunate that this change was made in a decree including other changes that were politically more controversial.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Closure of Gosteleradio

Dear All,

I was just wondering if anybody knows anything about the projected closure of Gosteleradio (http://gtrf.ru/articles/show/id/8)? There is quite a bit of discussion about it on the internet, and even a petition (http://chn.ge/1jXBWK2).

Might it be worth ASEEES or BASEES expressing their disappointment about the decision and raising their concerns?

Best,
Simon
