- Ukraine: Divided country, divided media?E1
Ukraine: Divided country, divided media?Despite the use of force against journalists as well as protesters, for a story that symbolises the way Ukraine straddles two political worlds, the Euromaidan movement in Kiev has not been marked by the kind of media divide that might have been expected. Newsbytes: After executing his uncle, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has him erased from all internet archives; another journalist shot and killed in Iraq, this time a female presenter for a US sponsored satellite channel; and the NSA pushes back against bad press with its own media outreach to CBS '60 Minutes', though the results left many unconvinced. This week's feature: TV audiences around the world would expect that live coverage of a train ride, seven hours of it, might contain some sort of drama - a hostage crisis, a pending collision with another train, or even just a celebrity on board - but not in Norway. Our last web video of the week for 2013 is on the subject of surveillance - "The NSA is Coming to Town".
