Independent Tajikistani TV Stations Achieve Another Milestone
Eight independent regional TV stations have recently assumed production of a Tajik-language weekly news program. Since 2001, the news program, based on information and inputs from independent TV stations, had been produced and distributed by Internews through USAID’s Media and Information Support Initiative. During that time, the USAID project provided the stations with equipment and extensive training to develop their capacity to produce quality news coverage. The program, Pavaind (Connection), will now be produced by the stations themselves on a quarterly rotating basis. Internews will continue providing technical guidance and the necessary equipment until the stations are fully capable of producing the program themselves. As of January 31, 2006, three editions of Paivand have been prepared and broadcasted by the local stations.
