Sri Lanka marks the 91 years of completion in radio broadcasting tomorrow. Sri Lanka commenced the radio broadcasting in 16th December 1925 under the

patronage of then British Governor Sir Hu Clifford. Sri Lanka was the first country in the Asian region to start the
radio broadcasting under the British rule. Thereafter Sri Lanka broadcasting service commenced under the supervision of telecommunication regulatory

department. Radio Ceylon commenced its broadcasting services as a state department in October 1949.

Mr. John A Lampson who was the senior announcer at BBC and served as manager in three centers of European region was appointed as the first director

of Broadcasting Department. M.J Perera was the first director of Sinhala Service of this department. The commercial
service commenced on the 30th of September 1950. The Broadcasting Department was transformed as Broadcasting Corporation on the 5th of January 1967.

Article - Pacific nations lose shortwave radio services that evade dictators and warn of natural disasters

As a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck off the coast of the Solomon Islands, triggering a tsunami warning across the Pacific,

many residents of the tiny country would have turned to shortwave radio for more information.
The tsunami warning has since been called off, though assessments of damage from the quake are not yet complete.
Sadly, this vital communication service is under threat in this already under-resourced region.
For almost 80 years, Australia has provided such shortwave services, including vital emergency service information, to Asia and the Pacific.
But government funding cuts saw Asian services turned off in January 2015. And now the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)

has decided to cut the remaining services to residents of remote parts of the Pacific, Papua New Guinea and parts of northern Australia by
ceasing its shortwave radio services to the Pacific from the end of January 2017.
The ABC has argued the shortwave transmissions, which can travel thousands of kilometres and be picked up by low-cost transmitters

run on batteries or solar power, are outdated. Michael Mason, ABC's director of radio said:
While shortwave technology has served audiences well for many decades, it is now nearly a century old and serves a very limited audience.

The ABC is seeking efficiencies and will instead service this audience through modern technology.
The problem is, of course, that in remote places in the Pacific, particularly in Melanesian nations such as Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu

and the Solomon Islands, there is no access to an FM signal, limited internet and, where internet is available, it is expensive.
Advances in technology such as low-earth orbit satellites, which provide high speed global internet services, show promise. But, as yet,

the receiving technology is expensive and the receivers aren't available in rural and remote area.
 


How shortwave evades censors

The ABC has said it will replace international shortwave services with digital services including a web stream, in-country FM transmitters,

an Australia Plus expats app and partner websites and apps such as TuneIn radio and vTurner.
There was no mention of the use of updates to shortwave technologies, such as Digital Radio Mondiale, which is being used by Radio New Zealand,

or using shortwave for digital data transmission, which can't be censored or jammed.
The move away from shortwave to FM transmissions and digital and mobile services has been accelerated despite the fact that FM frequencies can

easily be shut down by disaffected political leaders, as happened in Fiji in 2009 on the order of then self-appointed prime
minister Frank Bainimarama.
It was a matter of national pride at the time for the ABC to be providing independent information for Fijians via shortwave, with then managing

director of the corporation, Mark Scott, highlighting a text message sent from inside Fiji to the ABC, which read:
"We are trying to listen to you online but are having difficulty. Please keep broadcasting. You are all we have"
Shortwave radio has played a valuable role in getting information to communities in the middle of civil disturbance, such as in East Timor in

the lead up to independence.
In Burma, it was internal leaders who sought the shortwave services. In 2009, Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi called on Australia

to provide shortwave broadcasts.
At the time the ABC's director of international, Murray Green, said the move reflected the ABC's ongoing commitment to serving people in those

parts of Asia and the Pacific who live without press freedom.
Even before this announcement was made, the price of shortwave radios was increased in Burma's Sittwe market.

Keeping people safe from disaster

It isn't just a matter of providing information to censored countries. Shortwave also provides a reliable source of information, particularly

during natural disasters.
Shortwave provides vital warnings of tsunamis to outlying island nations. It was a lasting communication method after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami,

and was vital in the response to 2015's Cyclone Pam, which devastated Vanuatu.
Shortwave transmissions go over mountains and seas, have a longer range, and don't fall over and twist in storms like FM radio towers. The Pacific

Freedom Forum, a regional media freedom and ethics monitoring and advocacy NGO, said in a statement:
It's clear that no thought was given to the link between disaster communications and this service, or even the fact that FM is largely unreliable

in bad weather and only available in urban areas.

Shortwave is seen as a vital part of keeping communities safe. As an ABC correspondent wrote on their Facebook page, and as technology reporter

Peter Marks mentioned on air, after Cyclone Pam:
We expected the worst. Death, injury, hunger. But when we arrived, the Dillons Bay village chief ... told me they knew the cyclone was approaching,

so they sheltered in the two solid buildings in the village. Most houses were flattened but not a single injury. I
asked him how he knew the cyclone was approaching. He said, 'ABC Radio'.

New Zealand and the UK take on China

The cuts to the shortwave services at the ABC are just the latest in a long line of budget savings to its international services.
While other cuts to the broadcaster garnered many headlines, the ABC has cut the shortwave, and also quietly closed its Vietnamese, Khmer and Burmese

language services on December 2, 2016.
The French-language service to the French Pacific is due to end in February 2017.
Thankfully for Pacific nations, while Australia is dialling back its shortwave services, New Zealand's RNZ International is maintaining Pacific-wide

shortwave transmission.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has also announced a major boost to its international broadcasts, including producing shortwave radio

programmes for North Korea.
The BBC is fearful of the rise of state-backed broadcasters such as China's CCTV, Qatar's Al Jazeera, and Russia's RT.
The Pacific appears to be a specific concern for China, with Australia's Lowy Institute tracking the extent of China's aid program in the Pacific

at more than 200 projects worth $US1.4 billion since 2006 and the state owned Xinhua News Agency actively covering the
Asia Pacific.
In light of this, the BBC clearly recognises a need to boost its international broadcasting, using shortwave to beat censors in autocratic regimes.
It is a great shame for the Pacific that Australia no longer agrees.
Alexandra Wake is a senior lecturer in Journalism at RMIT and a former ABC and Radio Australia broadcaster.

New Law Would Reorganize VOA, Other US Government Broadcasters

Control over U.S. government international broadcasting will be
consolidated under a powerful chief executive, under legislation

The bill restructures the leadership of the Broadcasting Board of
Governors, the U.S. government agency that supervises the Voice
of America and other broadcast entities, several of which are
organized as government-funded private corporations, known as
grantees.
The bipartisan, nine-member board that oversees the BBG will be
replaced by a smaller advisory board with no decision-making
authority. Its power will be transferred to the chief executive
officer, a new position established in September 2015. Future
CEOs will be appointed by the president and confirmed by the
Senate.
The bill's supporters say the changes will help streamline
operations and
do away with a part-time board that has long been
criticized for ineffectiveness.

Control over U.S. government international broadcasting will be
consolidated under a powerful chief executive, under legislation
expected to soon be signe President Barack Obama.

The changes were included as part of an annual defense funding
bill, the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, which was
passed last week by both houses of Congress.
 

 

 

 

The bill restructures the leadership of the Broadcasting Board of
Governors, the U.S. government agency that supervises the Voice
of America and other broadcast entities, several of which are
organized as government-funded private corporations, known as
grantees.

The bipartisan, nine-member board that oversees the BBG will be
replaced by a smaller advisory board with no decision-making
authority. Its power will be transferred to the chief executive
officer, a new position established in September 2015. Future
CEOs will be appointed by the president and confirmed by the
Senate.

The bill's supporters say the changes will help streamline
operations and do away with a part-time board that has long been
criticized for ineffectiveness.
 

 

 

 

 

But critics say the board serves as a crucial firewall between
BBG journalists and the political establishment, and argue that
eliminating it could damage editorial independence and
credibility.

The bill's main backer was Republican Congressman Ed Royce, who
says the changes to the BBG are long overdue.

"Our agencies that helped take down the Iron Curtain with
accurate and timely broadcasting have lost their edge," Royce
said in a statement earlier this month. "They must be revitalized
to effectively carry out their mission in this age of viral
terrorism and digital propaganda."

Any new CEO named by the president must be confirmed by the
Senate, which is controlled by Republicans.

Under the bill, the CEO would acquire broad powers, especially
over BBG grantee organizations, which include Radio Free Asia,
Radio Free Europe, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks.
Specifically, the CEO would have the power to consolidate
grantees into a single new corporation, hire and fire their
heads, and transfer money from one grantee's budget to another.

The language of the bill predates the presidential election, and
was supported by the Obama administration. But Michael Kempner, a
BBG board member appointed by Obama, says the bill is a mistake.

"No president, Democrat or Republican, should be able to have
unfettered control of these vital U.S. media properties," Kempner
said in an interview. "It's the independence of the media
properties that makes them so credible and effective around the
world. And without that independence, it just becomes more
discredited propaganda."

Some media reports have suggested the shakeup means the BBG
broadcasters, including VOA, will effectively become a mouthpiece
for incoming President-elect Donald Trump.

But John Lansing, the current BBG CEO, has said the agency's
independence is still protected. In an email to staff earlier
this month, he said that "maintaining our journalistic
independence, and our credibility worldwide, remains of the
utmost importance."

"This legislation makes NO changes to the firewall between the
federal government and the journalists of our five networks. The
firewall remains in place and sacrosanct, with the CEO legally
required to uphold its function," said Lansing.

Editorial independence at VOA is also safeguarded by the VOA
Charter, an act of law that protects the independence and
integrity of its programming. "VOA news will be accurate,
objective, and comprehensive," the charter says.

But will Trump, who has reportedly toyed with the idea of
creating his own media network, be attracted to the idea of
trying to influence the content disseminated by federally funded
broadcasters?

"It's a danger and I think we should watch it closely," says
Moira Whelan, a former deputy assistant secretary for digital
strategy at the State Department. "Crossing our fingers isn't
good enough."

But Whelan, who now works as an independent communications
consultant for think tanks, supported the changes.

"It's a 24/7 news business, and decisions made by committee were
leaving (the BBG broadcasters) not competitive with other media
organizations around the world," she told VOA.

Ultimately, she pointed out, there is always a risk that
presidents will try to exploit federal government agencies for
partisan purposes. Under the new leadership structure, she said
it will even be more important for Congress to ensure that the
BBG's editorial independence is protected.

"And I think there are friends in Congress who want to ensure
that," she added.

Off-Grid Solar Power Booms in Africa as US Backs Technology Roll
Out

Henry Ridgwell
December 13, 2016

LONDON
More than 600 million people in Africa have no access to
electricity, according to the International Energy Agency.

But new technology could provide the solution. So-called off-grid
solar systems have plummeted in price. Now consumers can spread
the cost by renting the equipment and paying for the electricity
as they need it, for less than a-half-dollar a day.

Lumos Global is among the firms rolling out the technology in
Nigeria, alongside mobile phone operator MTN. The company's CEO,
Nir Marom, says installation is simple.

"He puts the solar system on the roof, and he puts the indoor
unit in the home," said Marom. "There is a cable to connect them.
It is a plug on both sides, you do not need to be an electrician
to do anything like this. And then you need to charge this [the
rental] by credit. So the sun charges the electricity, but you
need to provide the credit to power the system up, and you do
this using your mobile phone."

U.S. invests in Nigeria systems

The company received financing from the U.S. government's
Overseas Private Investment Corporation or OPIC, as part of
President Barack Obama's Power Africa initiative.

"So $50 million of OPIC money as debt toward the systems," Marom
said. "That will take us to 250,000 systems in Nigeria."

As the off-grid sector booms, several African countries have also
invested millions of dollars in large on-grid solar plants.
Senegal opened one of Africa's largest in October, able to
generate 20 megawatts, enough for 160,000 people.

Strong start in Senegal

Chief executive Charlotte Aubi-Kalaidjian runs Greenwish
Partners, which paid for the construction.

She says in Senegal the amount of electricity is double compared
to what a solar farm of the same capacity in England or in
northern France would produce.

The International Energy Agency forecasts that almost one billion
people in sub-Saharan Africa will gain access to on-grid power by
2040.

But half-a-billion people will still be off-grid. Investors
believe solar power could fill that gap, while also helping to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
