#240 Svetlana Dingarac iliti kako zaštititi naše tvrđave od zaborava
Svetlana Dingarac je fotograf i pokretač projekta Tvrđave Srbije (tvrdjave.rs) kroz koji želi da našu javnost upozna sa istorijom i nasleđem minulih vekova uz pomoć objektiva i iscrpnih istraživanja. Pričali smo o lepotama i teškoćama istraživanja ali i tražđenja brojnih uglavnom zaraslih i zaboravljenih gradina, kalea, i hisara, ali i istrajnosti koja je potrebna za jedan ovakav poduhvat.

Phil Hammond on propaganda during the Yugoslav wars, now and in future
Phil Hammond is an Emeritus Professor of Media and Communications in the School of Arts and Creative Industries at London South Bank University, who spent his career examining propaganda, especially in the UK. He edited a tome with Ed Herman (of the Chomsky-Herman propaganda model fame) on the reporting about the war in Kosovi and Metohija: Degraded Capability: The Media and the Kosovo Crisis , which included contributions by Harold Pinter, John Pilger and many other media critics.
