who employs me

I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Iran's English-language TV effort starts today

by billdoskoch on Mon 02 Jul 2007 02:38 AM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Press TV will offer a 24/7 English-language satellite news service to compete with the worldview served up through the likes of CNN and the BBC.

Heres something from the Fars News Agency, and here's a June 26 Reuters story posted at washingtonpost.com. And here's a fresh BBC story.

Behold this a snapshot of the lead story from the Press TV home page:

Now, Press TV somehow missed the story about Iranian authorities asking journalists not to cover petrol-rationing-related unrest, but they did manage to write about this on Saturday:

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei has praised President Ahmadinejad for upholding the values of the Islamic Revolution. ...

"The petrol rationing scheme is one of the dauntless moves made by the government which is to be continued by the officials."
