Medias role in human rights discussed at Cairo roundtable
----------------------------------------------------------

 (24 feb 2005) Over 50 media professionals met at a roundtable on February 16, 
organized by Internews Arabic Network and Cairo University's Press Heritage, to 
discuss the role of media in fostering and spreading the culture of human 
rights.

As a result of this
roundtable a number of participants said that they now intentionally place 
issues about women, children and the environment in their TV and radio 
programs.

Who rules the internet?
-----------------------

 (10 feb 2005) The internet is a global resource that anyone can use, but its 
growth would not be helped by leaving it as a complete free-for-all. Currently 
the internet has no single governance system  because it is so new and has 
been developed largely by the private sector.

TIPS 

AUDIO UPLOAD 

We only accept the most common digital audio formats - MP3 and Real Audio. 
And we've restricted the file size of audio programmes to 3.6 MB to ensure 
relatively easy upload and download of audio files. Remember, 
files bigger than this will be difficult for people to access in places where 
the internet connection is slow or unstable. 

If you're encoding in MP3 or Real Audio format using broadcast quality settings 
(min. 22,000 sample rate, 16 bit, mono), 3.6 MB is the 'time' 
equivalent of around 7-10 minutes of speech. If your programme is more than 3.6 
MB, the server will automatically disconnect the upload.
