Gartay. It is about resources and priorities saaxib. As long as there are thousands that risk hunger, disease and analphabetism, TV remains a luxary saaxib. Wells, education, healthcare, reconciliation, peace, creating a judicial infrastructure, creating jobs and encouraging food production should be the priorities of the government.Lama, I agree.
I was trying to make the point that government founded media doesn't necessarily preclude impartiality. In time, SNTV may even become privatised. I am certainly not in favour of having Stalinist ''state news'' networks.
However, we currently need SNTV.
We somalis are locked in a path dependent mechanism which we inherited saaxib.
Greenday,
Somalis are generally very entrepreneurial; some of the so called somali media manifested through website are just clan websites inadeer. We have not developed as much as we give the impression of.
I am aware that independent media is a utopia in many cases. But, I don't want my poor government to invest much needed funds in a propaganda machine.
