New information references available on ipadio
With regard to reporting from the world’s trouble spots, publicly available information from well regarded sources has been collated onto a reference page on ipadio, and the international numbers currently available for local rate and freephone calls have been published on the site.
A statement from Dr. Mark K. Smith, CEO, ipadio:
“Citizen journalism, whether written or broadcast, is a valuable addition to our rich media landscape and the cornerstone of the ipadio service. We should not, however, encourage anyone who has not carefully considered the consequences to report from trouble spots. Professional journalists on the ground, and international journalists with large organisations behind them, will be aware of the risks and will know how to steps to protect themselves and their sources. Whilst we are delighted to put ipadio at the service of anyone whose voice should be heard, we should not allow our thirst for news to let people put themselves at risk without fully understanding the potential consequences, particularly if they are breaking the law of their own land.”
