Unfortunately, NPR is not good journalism. Any, and I repeat, any,
discerning individual can hear that.

Many must have their blinders on.

Hello, everyone! I just got a Morphy Richards 27007 (apparently the
new branding of the former Radio Shack Self-Powered model) for
Christmas, which presumably guarantees me last place in any gearhead
credibility contests, and I've been having lots of fun scouring the
ether for shortwave programmes from central and eastern Europe. (I'm
in the UK.)

I must say I was surprised by Radio Ukraine's open and vigorous
backing of the recent semi-revolution there, and Radios Romania,
Hungary and Slovakia also have all also been following agendas not
that out of line with my decadent western European liberal
sympathies.

I'm not entirely sold on the Voice of Russia, mind.

But all that and this thread prompts me to ask: what would various
persons here suggest as models of excellence in shortwave journalism?
