Correa and the media

15 years ago
Hi All,
I copied an article from another blog that I thought would be of interest to you all.

An interesting article from Google this am:


Correa: Ecuador to take over radio, TV stations
(AP) – 10 hours ago

QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa says "many" radio and TV frequencies will revert to state control due to what he's calling irregularities.

The president has been at war with Ecuador's news media since taking office in January 2007. He has called TV stations and newspapers corrupt and mediocre, and twice fined an opposition broadcaster.

Correa did not specify Monday what sort of abuses or irregularities broadcasters have committed. Nor did he name any alleged offenders.

The announcement coincides with regulators revoking or refusing the renew the licenses of 34 radio stations in Venezuela.

Correa and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez are staunch regional allies and share a similar left-leaning political ideology.
