it was a crystallising media moment. over three months of protest there were complaints of the way the story was downplayed either through censorship by the government or because the ukrainian media self sen sword, because owners were tied to the government. now that viktor yanukovych fell, where does it leave those loyal to him. how do they regain the credibility lost own the viktor yanukovych. we start in kiev. >> it was the kind of story over which tv producers sallivate. a young journalist falling in love with a policeman on the other side of the barricade. enter ukraine's most watched russian language channel owned by an oligarch aligned with viktor yanukovych, invited her on. if the producers hoped for a touching tail of reconciliation, they were in for disappointment. >> since the beginning, i believe that this is what you were expecting to hear about, isn't it. >> and at that point she says, "and for this reason i hate", and she lists is number of people in power. >> and then says, "and i hate inter for the lie t

media affairs ahe is. the prime minister has resorted to every imaginable pressure. he's known foez exposed a system by the government, even during his sign with media krens soreship to the extent that mr. erdogan has. >> he's a skilled media operator. he knows in turkey and any other country taking on the media, sometimes even shooting the messenger can be smart politics. he crosses swords with the media repeatedly, whether it's over what he calls a lack of coverage of his government's achievements. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: on the the coverage of the conflict with kurdish separatists. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> and erdogan is not above getting involved personally. he was watching the protests last year in istanbul when he called the channel's editor. >> erdogan took issue with the headlines on the news. it was accurate, but he didn't like it and wanted it changed. >> translator: he already following a pro-government line. the news editor also has a similar background. it's

the media in hong kong and the beijing effect. it took awhile, but it's happening. pick a brand, any brand. we've got the pictures that can sell it. last month, we reported to demonstrations in turkey over a new internet law which allows the government to shut down any website without going through the courts the law claimed its first victims, twitter and youtube. >> has led to an all out online media war. turks go to the poll sunday in e elections that are seen as a bell weather pneumoniaed of the presidential election this year. critics say it's a short-term politic political move. twitter and youtube have spread a growing story about government corruption. if he was to take down twitter, turks have gone to school on how to circum vent the ban with other social media sites and twitter, itself, teaching them how, a reported 138% increase on twitter in turkey in the immediate aftermath of the ban. not what the prime minister had in mind when he said he could eradicate twitter and show the world the power of the turkish republic. our starting point this week issistan

hong kong is still the haven for media, and media are also free to say anything they want. if it is a censorship, it's an organization that we can see every day, every program. we look at the issue. some criticised the government and some will support the government in the way the chinese government walks. from the observation hong kong's media has full freedom in expressing their view. but beijing critics argue it was not the case in the elections. the propaganda chief of china's representative in hong kong called the owner to complain about critical coverage of the recently elected leader. >> it seemed the phone call worked. several senior journal unfortunates at hong kong -- journalists at hong kong journal - they are more careful about being critical of the government. it's worrying that one phone call can make a big impact. >> i don't think there's concrete evidence from all the situations. all these things happened, i can conclude we enjoy freedom of expression and media enjoys a high degree of autonomy. >> when hong kong was returned to the chinese 17 years ago, ther

i mean, it has to do with media powers, media-politician relations in turkey. >> on the new internetich you support, you recently wrote, internet liberalism has reached a new level, all countries have gotta deal with this issue. all leaders occasion la occasioe things written about them or said about them on twitter, facebook, what have you. what is it about turkey that it feels it needs to go further than other countries in shutting that down by taking the courts out of the equation and leaching it up to the bureaucrats to take down that content? >> let me put it this way, individuals have the right to get their personal privacy and their personality, personal integrity protected by legal system, by the rule of law. we had problems in this regard. so there was a need for such relation, the new relation on the internet. it takes six to eight days to get a decision out from the court. so it's too late. i mean, once abusive content is circulated in the internet, once, you know, everyone viewed it, then it is too late to protect personal privacy. it is too late. >> that's not the view.

except the media.there was no obvious place or space within the country where a clear, strategic focus can be applied on how best to secure the future legacy of what has quite a bit of money to build up. and i do find a quite remarkable and staggering. and even now, after quite a lot of time, it is not clear where that place actually is. and that is what makes us worried. i don't think this is just an issue of lots of money. i think this is an issue of really smart for my intelligent decision-making on where the support needs to be invested, and how can colleagues like these on the panel can be of support. i personally do not think the media of afghanistan is sustainable in the short term. but the role it is playing in the future is fundamental. of the bonnussions process and everything else and there is focused about what the political leadership is going to be, what the elections are going to be. but ultimately, the future of afghanistan is going to be shaped by the people. and it really does need a

turks also have issued with their mainstream media. most of their news channels are owned by con gloel rates that do business with the government and they don't want to risk that relationship with critical reporting of politics. that was made clear during the protests which some news channels did their best to ignore hoping it went away. this next animation a turkish film make aers take on the nonstory contrasting what was happens on the streets of istanbul with what turks made in our television screens. it's our web video of the week, and we'll see you next time here at the listening post. >> audiences are intelligent and they know that their needs are not being met by american tv news today. >> entire media culture is driven by something that's very very fast... >> there has been a lack of fact based, in depth, serious journalism, and we fill that void... >> there is a huge opportunity for al jazeera america to change the way people look at news. >> we just don't parachute in on a story...quickly talk to a couple of experts and leave

is social media bypassing mainstream media gatekeepers and children?> i don't think it's bypassing. it's supporting, working together. social media is the opportunity to allow us to be significantly connected with information. and what - is there more powerful information to be connected to than playing a role in helping to save the life of a missing child? >> skip, you know, whether it's amber alert or milk carton 2.0 - how do you keep people from feeling inundated and how do you prevent the volume of this information from desensitising people and working against the objectives. is it a concern of yours? >> it is a concern of mine. it's not being well studied. there's a presumption that it could never hurt to issue an amber alert. i see evidence in these cases that law enforcement defaults to issuing just in case. it's not really a well-studied issue. it's been dubbed alert fatigue, that if seeing a lot of these alerts might make people think they are not important. fatigue. >> no, i'm not. for us, having the ability to be geographically specific, tha

how come lena dunham gets so much media attention?as you mentioned, second lowest rating of the season for "saturday night live." "girls" gets about 800,000 viewers. compare that to "sex in the city," much more of an impact on its generation. game of thrones, 5 million. the audience isn't quite there. most of the manhattan media, obviously, lives and is around manhattan, they love the show, at least describes them as elise. the problem is, the rest of the country is not following lock step within them. and one final point, you bought up the "new york times" before doing a feature of her on age 11. since that time, according to the american prospector, lena dunham has been talked about or mentioned in the "new york times" alone 300 times. the problem is the audience is simply not following. they don't buy what lena dunham is buying. a lot of it is strictly for shock value and therefore the press comes running. >> what i would say is these new york media outlets constantly steal with each other's subjects and journalists, we've heard th

russian leaders and their media have had a field day with that. >> when you look at western media it's very interesting as how at least from where i'm sitting here in moss could you. moscow, to achieve its foreign policy aims. so it's very difficult for me that they can't see the self-irony here. >> the new york times is one of the worst examples. are they ever held responsible, are any editor ever fired over there? no, go to the next crisis. it'salities for democracy, when it's patently that it's never ever about any of those things. >> you don't have to justify the actions of america or any other western country, to criticize the action he of america. i think-- actions of america, what-aboutism, the old sophie st tactics. i don't think the wrong actions of governments around the world can justify the actions against russia here. two dges wrongs don't make a right. >> the news outlets that tend to fall into line and march in step. our global village voices now on the coverage of the showdown over crimea. >> russian media coverage of the situation in crimea was always very different th

i'm howard kurtz, and this is media buzz. we'll get to the tense situation in ukraine in a few moments. the vice president of the united states hits the television circuit this week and the inevitable 2016 questions were asked. >> you've been very open about talking about 2016 and considering what you're going to do. where are you in your thought process? what are you taking into account? >> well, you know, i was planning on making a major announcement tonight, but i decided tonight is your night. >> thank you. >> and so -- >> thank you. >> and then it was off to "the view" where biden had the fun with the soon-to retire barbara walters. >> do not expect you to come on this program and announce that you're going to run for president. i won't object if you want to. do you want to? >> i'll tell you what, make you a deal. if you stick around, i will announce my decision with you. >> if hillary does not run, will you -- you have said that if she runs for president, you will not run. >> no, i haven't. no. >> so how are the media c

no question that the media is bias to the left and no question that the media is very much in favor ofovernment that gets to control what religious people do with their private businesses. i mean, and do i feel persecuted in that way? let's see. if the government decides it can tell me to violate ply own religious presets because the government has a greater good it is attempting to pursue without evidence that greater good is actually a necessity, anybody who compares the plight of 2014 g gays to blacks is absurd. we still have freedom of speech and i'm happy for you to be on the air, for you to be on the air thomas. i think there are more people like you than me. >> awesome. >> you mean the press? >> that would be the craziest thing in the world. i'm always the odd man out. i mean, if you know the day -- >> yeah, right -- >> i shouldn't go down this road but i have spent my entire life having extremely unpopular views, unpopular opinions, and i agree, thank god for the freedom of the press. this is, you know, that's -- it's a wonderful thing. >> i'm actually not even, you know, on th

but the media -- >> some say the media has been soft on this president. >> no, actually, i didn't votest said i didn't vote for bush. >> you didn't vote? >> i have to add somebody did a lot of investigative reporting. it is not uncommon for reporters to clash with their bosses about what is important. what atkins katkisson told me w been three years. >> i think it can be a way of tarnishing or neutralizing reporters when you say they lean one way or the other when sharyl attkiss attkisson's report shows she has looked at both sides. >> do we believe in this day and age that journalists can be completely objective without bringing their bias to the table? >> we believe they can be fair. >> which is a lot different than being bias. >> we don't check our citizenship at the door when we become journalists. i think the point is, fess up to it and show people you're as tough on the people you taut support as though those you don't. >> your trio is words like speak truth to power. power is the obama administration. now it's obama and reporters should be equally objective towards both. >> gott

through fox, they changed the media through other channels. every media is forced to explain to their viewers, rick conservative? server down the middle? the fact we are trying to argue whether "the new york times" is a liberal newspaper is a testament to find themselves. that drumbeat after 9/11 was very good. i'm not sure you cannot treebeard it totally because people were being asked to wear flag pins on the air or they were being accused of being patriotic if they were waving the flag. >> guest: i interviewed one fox producer told me how after 9/11 they were literally running to times square in new york city to buy flag to put on their anchors and everyone in the office. there was this fervor, almost a spiritual moment to have ripple effects throughout the culture. cnn as it pains to have some executives say it must be sure to point out even during the worst abuses, fox pointed out. i've agree that there were abuses on the other side. that drumbeat i would agree has been very successful. whether it's attributable to fox, post-9/11, there's

it is defined by the popular media. its audience national life from moscow it has taken the blue torches one week to reach sorcery and in just two days time the flame will once again be lit on the black sea coast but this time though for the winter power olympics so as another epic torch relay draws to a close let's get more about it now from our correspondent is lindsey from. its began its journey on february twenty sixth not in greece but in russia's far east in that time it's traveled through fifty russian regions in the hands of more than one thousand torchbearers it's. also for the first time in paralympic history made an international detour and it went to the u.k. to the stoke mandeville stadium where in one thousand nine hundred forty eight dr ludwig good man held the first ever games of this sort for people specifically with physical disabilities impairments then made its way back to russia where it's continued on now the torch is accented in sky blue knots in red as it was for the winter games that's because t
