Ecuador Sets Up First
Public TV Channel
One of the first
programs of "Ecuador TV"
on Thursday was
President Rafael Correa
welcoming its
broadcasting as the
nation"s first public TV
channel that will cover
the Constituent Assembly
sessions from
Montecristi, Manabi.
This communication media
belongs to the society
and must be independent
of private propaganda,
to be able to inform
objectively without
fear, Correa stressed.
Today "is a very happy
day for all, because we
finally have a public
channel," the leader
said, stressing that
this channel "does not
defend private interests
because it is not in
private hands," adding
it is difficult for
private agents to
conform their interests
to those of society.
Correa took the occasion
to greet the Assembly
members, meeting in the
Ciudad Eloy Alfaro
Complex, and stress the
importance of the
Constituent Assembly.
He confirmed that he
will be present Friday
in Montecristi for the
opening of the Assembly,
which will also be
attended by the
presidents of Venezuela,
Hugo Chavez, and
Colombia, Alvaro Uribe,
and representatives from
Bolivia and Peru. |
