RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

my fellow workers and colleagues. Is it better not to make апу announcement at the fateful moment, nor after 10-20 minutes, or to give out an announcement, albeit with some information errors, which, it is true, may have certain consequences, but much less important in comparison with saying nothing at a 11... NEDA DEPOLO (Radio Belgrade): It is my irapression that a lot of very lively activity is going on in radio. People work hard in radio, one job follows another very quickly, and the resuit is that we do not have time and stop and take stock of what we аге actually doing...
