"...in semi-authoritarian countries, such as Georgia under Shevardnadze, an increasingly "independent" media – editorially and financially independent of government, politicians, business elites, mafia figures, etc. – can make a huge difference. Rustavi 2 was one of a modest array of such media that spurred on peaceful change by providing Georgians with accurate reporting of the events surging around them." David Anable, president of the International Center for Journalists in Washington from 1997 to 2004 |
