WorldLink TV , the 24-hour television network with a global perspective on news, events and culture, is offering a variety of special programming in response to the recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Telekritika is a new Ukrainian web site that reviews, analyzes, and critically assesses TV and Radio program content and current media trends. The TEFI awards are Russia's equivalent to the Emmys. As I think about the horrific events in New York and Washington, I am reminded of the importance of the work of Internews around the world, and the enormous potential we have to create more peaceful, tolerant, civil societies. A recent report by The World Bank documents the important link between open media and the development of civil societies guided by the rule of law.
New information can change people and culture- and create demand for new institutions.
