Express fear on doorstep of Free Trade
29 August 2006
Santo Domingo.- The Newscasters and Radio and TV Producers guild considered that the Free Trade Agreement signed by the country with Central America and the United States will jeopardize the sector and will affect the population’s possibility to receiving reliable information.
The guild bases its statement in an inscription contained by the agreement that limits news sources to local avenues.
Meanwhile, the accord opens up the national spectrum to international news firms.
The guild considers that there will be no effective controls by which to regulate international — especially U.S. — marketing incursions in the country. The group considered that this accord will degrade the national economy instead of aiding it.
