Greetings. The main purpose of People For Internet Responsibility's
recently-announced "Fact Squad" effort is to cut through hype, spin,
misinformation, and propaganda regarding technological issues and their
effects upon society.
In furtherance of this goal, we're pleased to announce the launching of the
"Fact Squad Radio" service. Fact Squad Radio is providing very
short (one minute), tightly-focused audio features, each concentrating on
a single relevant topic of importance. These vignettes are aimed at
explaining the issues briefly in a non-technical manner suitable for
general audiences. Topics to be covered will include both matters of
long-standing importance and crucial issues of the moment.
We encourage linking and redistribution of these features, and they are
freely distributable without any further permission being needed for
non-broadcast, non-commercial usage. Requests for other kinds of usage will
be considered on a case-by-case basis. We'll be ramping up towards a five
per week, M-F schedule. All segments are in the standard MP3 format.
The debut Fact Squad Radio feature concerns a topic of some significant
interest right now -- National ID Cards.
Fact Squad Radio is at:
