[01] SYRIZA appeals to National Council for Radio and TelevisionMain opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) spokesman Panos Skourletis on Monday called on the National Council for Radio and Television (ESR) to investigate how the rider on the mass media - passed recently in parliament - was covered by the television and radio stations and "rule if the non broadcasting of the specific news is in compliance or not with existing radio-television legislation".In a letter addressed to ESR, Skourletis pointed out that "with only a few exceptions, television stations and news radios broadcasting nationally did not cover the new law on the mass media". Skourletis noted that a similar observation is included in an open letter by Athens' Journalists Union (ESIEA) addressed to all editors-in-chief on Friday, August 8. According to Skourletis, the ESIEA letter underlined that "the specific issue was downgraded despite its importance and the intense criticism" and that the public should be informed about substantive issues, like media group mergers. Skourletis also referred to a relevant SYRIZA announcement, noting that it was ignored by the mass media.
