Trans World Radio Changes Name to TWR
CARY, NC, November 16, 2009–International Christian ministry Trans World Radio, a pioneer in media missions, will change its name to TWR on November 18, 2009. At the same time, the organization also will adopt the positioning statement "Speaking Hope to the World" to fortify its new identity.
"While our commitment to radio broadcasting remains steadfast, the name Trans World Radio no longer fully conveys the scope of our organization," says TWR President Lauren Libby. "TWR is more than radio. It is a multifaceted media ministry. By changing the name to TWR, we will maintain radio as a keystone communication component all the while employing a strategic integration of new media platforms. In fact, we will even seek to enlarge our broadcasting footprint."
Libby explained that TWR is committed to leveraging digital advances such as the Internet, MP3 players, video and other mobile-device formats. "In recent years, modern technology has enabled us to make significant strides in engaging with our global audience," he said.
"We also recognize the tremendous ministry value of social media portals like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube," Libby adds. "We're not just endeavoring to reach people for Christ; we want to connect and dialogue with them as they grow in faith. Furthermore, we realize social media is a fast and efficient way to communicate with our stakeholders."
The ministry's new positioning statement, according to Libby, will clearly reflect TWR's primary objective of Speaking Hope to the World "Speaking not only refers to verbal communication but also signifies the ability to relate with people in other resourceful ways," Libby explained. "With that in mind, we will offer relevant messages of hope in Jesus to men, women and children around the globe. Whether it's by radio or other new media means, TWR is dedicated to helping fulfill Christ's Great Commission."
Frequently Asked Questions
With the name of the organization changing from Trans World Radio to TWR, does that mean people will no longer use the term Trans World Radio anymore?
The name Trans World Radio has existed for more than 55 years. It goes without saying that it is entirely unrealistic to expect everyone to stop using that name overnight. That said, TWR staff, partners and affiliated ministries are encouraged to make the gradual shift toward using TWR as the primary moniker.
Is TWR abandoning or scaling back its commitment to radio broadcasting?
No, not at all. In some areas of the world, we are increasing traditional radio broadcasts on shortwave, AM and FM outlets. As TWR's Bill Damick states in his forthcoming document "The Future is Here: Radio, New Media and Missions": "[Radio] has the unique ability to deliver its message efficiently, inexpensively, and compellingly to the greatest percentage of the world's people regardless of their economic status, educational attainment, or geographic location."
What is the meaning behind TWR's new positioning statement/tagline "Speaking Hope to the World"?
The word "speaking" is used in both the literal and figurative sense. It can either mean "communicating audibly" or "communicating a deeper message" (as in "the author's latest novel really spoke to me"). The word "hope" refers to the true, lasting expectation of something (or Someone) better. The word "world" captures the global essence of how TWR communicates the gospel. It's international in scope. After all, Jesus said "go into all the world and preach (speak) the gospel."

BBC top earners' salaries and expenses to go public
The BBC will today take the unprecedented step of publishing the exact salary details and expenses of its 100 highest-paid employees — each one of whom earns over £150,000.
The top earners, who take home an estimated £20 million a year, will also have every one of their expenses claims published on the corporation's website.
Every taxi journey, restaurant bill and five star hotel stay will be documented as the BBC publishes 3,000 individual claims made as part of an expense bill estimated to be at least £500,000 a year. Claims released today will cover the period between April and June.
A special web page will be devoted to the pay and claims made by Mark Thompson, the Director-General, and each of the other 99 top earners, whose ranks also include Jay Hunt, the controller of BBC One, and Alan Yentob, the corporation's creative director.
The BBC, which anticipates that a hostile Conservative Party will sweep to power in the general election next year, will continue to publish the figures, every three months, in a bid to show that it is the most transparant public body in the UK.
David Cameron, the Conservative leader, has campaigned against this year's increase in the compulsory licence fee, which costs £142.50 and is paid by 25 million households. The party has promised to cut the licence fee when it gets into power, and ensure that nobody at the BBC is paid more than the £192,250 received by the Prime Minister.
The BBC has already released some expenses claims covering the past five years, which painted a picture of a lavish, jet-set lifestyle that included stays at some of the world's most exclusive hotels and shopping trips to luxury boutiques to buy generous gifts for the broadcaster's on-screen talent.
It was shown that the top 40 staff had claimed nearly £800,000 over the past five years, including a £1,277 private jet trip for its Director-General and a £99.99 bottle of vintage champagne given to Bruce Forsyth on his 80th birthday.
However, today's disclosures will be more far reaching, because they cover more staff, and include previously secret claims made via the corporation's central booking system. Those extra claims are expected to push the annual total far beyond what has already been revealed.
The BBC has hinted previously at the salaries of its top 50 executives by publishing them in bands of £30,000, but today's release will instead give exact figures for the 100 best-paid staff, as well as their expense claims for the April to June quarter of this year. It is expected to show that around 60 employees earn more than the Prime Minister's salary of £192,250.
The corporation has already let it be known that it is cutting new contracts for performers by 20 per cent, and Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman of the BBC Trust, announced two weeks ago that nearly one in five of its senior managers, some 115 staff, will be dispensed with by 2013 and new senior staff paid far less than they could expect in the commercial sector.
A BBC source said: "The public have told us they want simplicity, openness and access and we believe we've gone a lot further than other public bodies in the way we've done this."
The BBC continues to refuse, however, to publish details of what it pays its on-screen talent, claiming that it will unfairly disadvantage it and lead to a migration of top performers to its commercial rivals. The corporation has promised to publish the total spend on talent, but has not yet set a date.

Voceros oficiales respondieron a la queja del Ministerio de Comunicaciones de Venezuela
sobre la penetración de la señal de las emisoras del Ejército colombiano en su territorio.
Fuentes institucionales señalaron a Caracol Radio que el Ejército tiene en el país 62 emisoras
de las cuales al menos siete están en zonas de frontera.
Las emisoras más cercanas a Venezuela están ubicadas en Maicao, Puerto Carreño, Arauca,
Mocoa, San José del Guaviare y Cúcuta, esta última es la más próxima a territorio venezolano.
Los voceros señalaron que esta emisora tiene todos los documentos en regla con el Ministerio
de Comunicaciones y cuenta con seis kilovatios de potencia, de los cuales sólo esta
trabajando con tres.
Inclusive a comienzos de año se cambio el dial de la emisora para no afectar las comunicaciones
en el vecino país
Señalaron que no es posible redireccionar las antenas para que la señal sólo se disperse en
una dirección y que así como en Cúcuta se escuchan emisoras venezolanas es normal que en
el vecino país se pueda escuchar la señal de las emisoras nacionales.
Inclusive se conoció que en territorio colombiano se escuchan al menos 16 emisoras venezolanas.

David Hoffman's InterNews, a $35 million organization which has helped support the development of 4,800 news outlets in 30 countries, has just opened its 42nd radio station in Afghanistan, and over lunch, Hoffman had an interesting story to tell. It was about the response from the Taliban to this form of public diplomacy.
Shortly after the station started reporting local news, says Hoffman, it received a phone call from a very polite member of the Taliban. "Could you please take the little jingle off the air?" the caller asked. "I want to listen to the news, but it starts with a jingle, and we're not allowed to listen to music." The Taliban could burn us down, says Hoffman, but they don't, because we provide an important function in Afghanistan.
In that country, as in other parts of the world where Internews has news outlets, local news trumps national news, especially in an emergency. To get started, local staff receives training in the science of program production along with broadcast equipment. They then are free to write and report on whatever they want.
Each year, Internews trains about 5,000 women in news media production and reporting. Women are an especially important target, notes Hoffman, because when you educate women, they report on what is important to them. It transforms their lives and the communities in which they live.
Today, most of the world lives in information poverty. With the rapid rise of cell phone technology and information equity, he says, the world will transform. Already 50% of people living in the developing world now have a cell phone. In less than five years, everyone will have one. Text messages sent to women micro-entrepreneurs can keep them educated.
Years ago, when Internews first launched its media training service, it sent six people to the Soviet Union. Their mission was to identify 200 people who were interested in receiving professional media training. Today, the organization hosts 600 TV stations across the country with 400 staff located in Moscow. In the Ukraine, they launched the country's first news agency, first print newspaper, and first TV and radio stations.
Currently, the organization is sending 70 reporters from around the world to the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen. In 2007, they sent 40 reporters to the UN's conference in Bali after learning that news about climate change was not making it into the local news media in their countries.
"Today," smiles Hoffman, "you can subscribe to our media feed and receive stories from around the world. They're not all in English, of course, but if you know how to read Chinese, Russian, Farsi or any of the other languages spoken by these reporters, you can follow firsthand, the transformation taking place around the world."

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- An international organization of journalists will provide financial help to three anti-Pyongyang radio stations in South Korea, the Voice of America (VOA) reported Saturday.
According to the VOA, Paris-based Reporters sans Frontiers (RSF) will provide US$380,000 to the three radio stations -- Open Radio for North Korea, Free North Korea Radio and Radio Free Chosun -- which produce and transmit shortwave programs from the South into North Korea.
Pyongyang has in the past asked South Korea to suspend the stations, calling them an obstacle to unification.
Radios are reportedly one of the main tools used by North Koreans to receive information from the outside world. Outside information in North Korea is strictly controlled by the government.

Voceros oficiales respondieron a la queja del Ministerio de Comunicaciones de Venezuela
sobre la penetración de la señal de las emisoras del Ejército colombiano en su territorio.
Fuentes institucionales señalaron a Caracol Radio que el Ejército tiene en el país 62 emisoras
de las cuales al menos siete están en zonas de frontera.
Las emisoras más cercanas a Venezuela están ubicadas en Maicao, Puerto Carreño, Arauca,
Mocoa, San José del Guaviare y Cúcuta, esta última es la más próxima a territorio venezolano.
Los voceros señalaron que esta emisora tiene todos los documentos en regla con el Ministerio
de Comunicaciones y cuenta con seis kilovatios de potencia, de los cuales sólo esta
trabajando con tres.
Inclusive a comienzos de año se cambio el dial de la emisora para no afectar las comunicaciones
en el vecino país
Señalaron que no es posible redireccionar las antenas para que la señal sólo se disperse en
una dirección y que así como en Cúcuta se escuchan emisoras venezolanas es normal que en
el vecino país se pueda escuchar la señal de las emisoras nacionales.
Inclusive se conoció que en territorio colombiano se escuchan al menos 16 emisoras venezolanas.

David Hoffman's InterNews, a $35 million organization which has helped support the development of 4,800 news outlets in 30 countries, has just opened its 42nd radio station in Afghanistan, and over lunch, Hoffman had an interesting story to tell. It was about the response from the Taliban to this form of public diplomacy.
Shortly after the station started reporting local news, says Hoffman, it received a phone call from a very polite member of the Taliban. "Could you please take the little jingle off the air?" the caller asked. "I want to listen to the news, but it starts with a jingle, and we're not allowed to listen to music." The Taliban could burn us down, says Hoffman, but they don't, because we provide an important function in Afghanistan.
In that country, as in other parts of the world where Internews has news outlets, local news trumps national news, especially in an emergency. To get started, local staff receives training in the science of program production along with broadcast equipment. They then are free to write and report on whatever they want.
Each year, Internews trains about 5,000 women in news media production and reporting. Women are an especially important target, notes Hoffman, because when you educate women, they report on what is important to them. It transforms their lives and the communities in which they live.
Today, most of the world lives in information poverty. With the rapid rise of cell phone technology and information equity, he says, the world will transform. Already 50% of people living in the developing world now have a cell phone. In less than five years, everyone will have one. Text messages sent to women micro-entrepreneurs can keep them educated.
Years ago, when Internews first launched its media training service, it sent six people to the Soviet Union. Their mission was to identify 200 people who were interested in receiving professional media training. Today, the organization hosts 600 TV stations across the country with 400 staff located in Moscow. In the Ukraine, they launched the country's first news agency, first print newspaper, and first TV and radio stations.
Currently, the organization is sending 70 reporters from around the world to the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen. In 2007, they sent 40 reporters to the UN's conference in Bali after learning that news about climate change was not making it into the local news media in their countries.
"Today," smiles Hoffman, "you can subscribe to our media feed and receive stories from around the world. They're not all in English, of course, but if you know how to read Chinese, Russian, Farsi or any of the other languages spoken by these reporters, you can follow firsthand, the transformation taking place around the world."

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- An international organization of journalists will provide financial help to three anti-Pyongyang radio stations in South Korea, the Voice of America (VOA) reported Saturday.
According to the VOA, Paris-based Reporters sans Frontiers (RSF) will provide US$380,000 to the three radio stations -- Open Radio for North Korea, Free North Korea Radio and Radio Free Chosun -- which produce and transmit shortwave programs from the South into North Korea.
Pyongyang has in the past asked South Korea to suspend the stations, calling them an obstacle to unification.
Radios are reportedly one of the main tools used by North Koreans to receive information from the outside world. Outside information in North Korea is strictly controlled by the government.
