DX NEWS----------------------------------------------------------------
Following is a report from the UN News Service which concerns, in part,
rebuilding the broadcasting infrastructure in East Timor:
"UN and partners map action plan to rebuild East Timor's shattered media."
15 December -- United Nations agencies have joined forces with donors and
non-governmental and professional media organizations to devise a plan of
action to rebuild East Timor 's shattered media infrastructure.
The three-pronged action plan, adopted this week at a meeting in Bangkok,
calls for the development of a regulatory framework for new media in East
Timor, repair of the country's radio network infrastructure, and a training
programme for journalists. The conference was held after an expert mission
by UNESCO, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, found
that virtually all media that had existed during the Indonesian
administration of the territory had been destroyed in the violence that
followed East Timor's vote for independence last August.
Organized by UNESCO and hosted by the Southeast Asian Press Alliance from
13 to 14 December, the conference yielded over $1 million in donor pledges,
in addition to decisions on various aspects of journalistic activity.
"We have had very good ideas, very good suggestions. We have a plan to
follow in support of an independent East Timor. And most important, we
already have commitments from donors to fund certain activities and this
is most welcome," Manoel de Almeida e Silva, Director of Communication
and Public Information for the UN Transitional Administration in East
Timor (UNTAET), told UN NEW Service in Bangkok.
Noting that UNTAET had performed some emergency repairs on the radio
network infrastructure, he stressed that long-term repairs would require
significant funds.
"It is going to be money well spent because it is going to be one of the
tools to really contribute to building a nationhood. The idea is to
develop some sort of public broadcasting service which will open the way
for the Timorese to talk to themselves and integrate the different
regions of the country," Mr. de Almeida e Silva said.
