Journalists Union Objective Demands GNCC Members to be Held Responsible

On December 2 Irma Inashvili, head of the Journalists Union Objective and Mamuka Nozadze, the Objective lawyer held a joint briefing and appealed to the Prosecutor General of Georgia with two statements. The Union requests the Prosecutor General to study the activities by the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) and launch immediate criminal proceeding against the Commission members. Inashvili affirms the 2004-2009 "criminal activity" of the Commission is documentarily proved through the materials by the Objective union and other journalism organizations. In addition, according to her, within three years the Commission has permitted unlicensed broadcasting of Alania TV, the 35th decimetric TV channel seized from the Objective journalists, re-registered to Nodar Charkhalashvili, spouse of the Commission member Sophio Britanchuk. According to Irma Inashvili in case of concern the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia will be handed over the facts and materials related to the aforementioned and other issues. The Objective union also demands criminal proceedings to be launched against David Kakauridze who, according to the press conference organizers, is a friend of Dimitri Kitoshvili, former GNCC chairman and the former "policemen" convicted and currently pardoned for the murder of a young bank employee Sandro Girgvliani. Speaking at the press conference Mamuka Nozadze recommended the Prosecutor’s Office to study why "David Kakauridze gifted the 35th decimetric TV channel belonging to the Objective journalists to the state and why this decision had not been agreed with the actual owner of the channel." According to the press conference organizers in case the demands made to the Prosecutor’s Office are ignored the Objective materials will be sent to the European Court. Earlier too the Objective union accused the Commission members of swindling and demanded the 35th decimetric channel back several times. The Commission never responds to the accusations by the Commission, the law enforcement bodies either never respond to the claims.

In 2008, Georgian media

Submitted by marrydavidson34 on Sat, 20/02/2010 - 08:25.
In 2008, Georgian media suffered through a tempestuous year marked by armed conflict with Russia and homegrown political turmoil. Press freedom deteriorated amid the continued political brushfire, a holdover from the past year’s unrest. Mirroring the polarized political scene, news media have essentially split into two opposing camps, leaving little room for neutrality and balance. Media and human-rights watchdogs noted a decline in press freedom: In its annual survey of global press freedom, Freedom House ranked Georgia on par with Colombia and behind countries like Nigeria.I recently done my MBA and now days I want to do some online Microsoft certifications and I Found this online notes is a best helping source to get online accurate information which is more helpful for my preparation.
