npr, pbs, and the voice of america, radio for europe, so on. somehow we need to take what we have, build it into an independent journalistic enterprise, and give it much more funding. of course, the funding level is now $500 million, $1 billion, it's in that magnitude. which is tiny in terms of public expenditures. so for just doubling that, you could build something of really great worldwide significance, which would both help the world, help us overcome censorship, and help the united states. so i'm not -- the form of it is less important to me at the moment than getting the concept. >> first i want to hear from rebecca mackinnon. either about lee's proposal specifically but also about this new world of digital media and to what degree is it liberating, to what degree is it bleeding us and providing no resources for foreign coverage, pluses, minuses, what do you see? >> it sort of comes back to why i left cnn in the first place in 2004. i was being told by my bosses that my expertise was getting in the way and could i please cover my region m

you just get a different type of voice that comes out of a publicly funded -- bbc and npr, voice of america. and commercial pressures coupled with the nature of the new technology are pushing inexorably towards this kind of highly current sorts of news. you really benefit from having multiple systems, multiple voices and in fact that's what we've had in the united states for the last half century. we had broadcasting, which was regulated and we had the print media. >> let's take a question. >> two quick points and then a question. i'm an editor in politico. we don't publish rumors. i'd like to just point out to our distinguished ivy league president that another ivy league president, rick levin of yale, is devoting a lot of time to changing the culture in singapore by partnering with the national university there and trying to instill our values in that culture. so my question is this -- if you were sitting around yesterday and you had the choice as anyone in washington did of watching an exciting game between the red sox and the orioles or watching the new president-elect of france give hi

what you mentioned there with an all news station and something like npr -- npr is a very recognizedrand. they tend to go slowly and more in depth in the news. an all-news station is like a utility. something people put on like a toaster. i used to tell my staff at one station that we're like a toaster that talks. people push the button down and get the toast that they want and they are fine. people use that as a utility. with the talk shows, it is a little different. what i would also differentiate is the 26 as walruses the unsuccessful programs. what i mean by -- rush limbaugh, for example, is successful launches because of ideology but because of the structure of the show, because of the float the use of music. the use of language. rush limbaugh can speak extensively on a topic. he can make sense. he is engaging. other talk show hosts that scream at you and taking the position, they're being polemical, that is not something that is going to necessarily when listeners. and for the most part, the shows that have come from the left have been that way. i think there's the sense that w

government made information response plan, npr, 2004, to make information sharing system for emergency. it made c.o.o.p., which is a guideline of what government should do. it came to government to restore the normal operation in one month. in my understanding, when terrorist attack or natural disaster hit country, the disabled government operation, the information sharing system identify -- to get information in the government. as long as i know when hurricane katrina hit, the u.s. government activated c.o.o.p. i think japan should have more, especially information. in the case of -- disaster local government particularly understand necessary for such information sharing system. however, i heard that japan has not even started to discuss about it yet. third, why this forum has affected japan. as i mentioned, japan is a small country. it has promoted to build committees. such committee have some advantage and disadvantage. one advantage is we made beautiful ride to get food and some supply. cranberry layer in the aftermath of disaster in japan because they don't have anyplace to run aw
