 12 February – The Independent Television Commission reprimands Channel 4 for airing part of a World Wrestling Federation in October 2000 that featured a wrestler threatening a rival's assistant with a sledgehammer.

The segment results in 117 viewer complaints to the Independent Television Commission, many suggesting it was unsuitable for broadcast at a time when children could have been watching and undermined the religious significance of marriage. In response, Granada Television says that the ceremony was discussed at length at the beginning of the programme, meaning viewers would have been aware it was going to take place. The ITC subsequently rejects the complaints, but notes that due to the show's "drop in" nature offence may have been caused to those who did not see the start of the programme.
 16 February – The Midlands-based talk show Central Weekend issues an onscreen apology after a complaint was made to the Independent Television Commission when it emerged that an edition of the show from July 2000 had featured fake guests.

In January 2002, it is reported that the project which had been due to last ten days, was finished early after the behaviour of those involved began to degenerate, a similar fate that befell the original experiment. However, psychologists say they have gathered a lot of useful data about the understanding of power and powerlessness.

Churnalism is a pejorative term for a form of journalism in which press releases, stories provided by news agencies, and other forms of pre-packaged material, instead of reported news, are used to create articles in newspapers and other news media. Its purpose is to reduce cost by reducing original news-gathering and checking sources to counter revenue lost with the rise of Internet news and decline in advertising, with a particularly steep fall in late 2015. The origin of the word has been credited to BBC journalist Waseem Zakir.

Churnalism has increased to the point that many stories found in the press are not original. The decline of original journalism has been associated with a corresponding rise in public relations.

Prevalence
In his book Flat Earth News, the British journalist Nick Davies reported a study at Cardiff University by Justin Lewis and a team of researchers which found that 80% of the stories in Britain's quality press were not original and that only 12% of stories were generated by reporters.  The result is a reduction of quality and accuracy, as the articles are open to manipulation and distortion.

A 2016 study of 1.8 million articles published by the U.S. and international editions of the HuffPost found that only 44% were written by staff journalists and thus could be considered original reporting.

The journalist Waseem Zakir has been credited for coining the term churnalism while working for the BBC in 2008 (however, Zakir himself recollects it being a decade earlier). According to Zakir, the trend towards this form of journalism involves reporters becoming more reactive and less proactive in searching for news: "You get copy coming in on the wires and reporters churn it out, processing stuff and maybe adding the odd local quote.  It's affecting every newsroom in the country and reporters are becoming churnalists."

An editorial on the matter in the British Journalism Review saw this trend as terminal for current journalism, "...a harbinger of the end of news journalism as we know it, the coroner's verdict can be nothing other than suicide."  Others, such as Peter Preston, former editor of The Guardian, see the issue as over-wrought, saying that there was never a golden age of journalism in which journalists were not subject to such pressures.

Nick Davies and Roy Greenslade gave evidence on the matter to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee in 2009.

Churnalism does not only occur in newspapers; for example, Chris Anderson's wide use of "writethroughs" in his book Free: The Future of a Radical Price has been labelled churnalism.

Economic causes
Traditional newspapers have cut staff as their advertising revenue has declined because of competition from other media such as television and the Internet.  They no longer have sufficient staff to generate news stories by making the rounds of civic and business activities.  Local newspapers and trade magazines are commonly produced by only one or two staff and these rely upon stories which are increasingly brought to them by public relations representatives, according to a senior public relations professional.  When the matter was debated at the Foreign Press Association, it was agreed that there was a relationship between the numbers of PR staff employed and journalists unemployed. There was a particularly steep fall in UK advertising revenue in the 6 months to March 2016, with the Daily Mail & General Trust issuing a warning to investors after its newspaper division reported a 29% fall in profits largely to a 13% decline in print advertising revenue; news media commentator Roy Greenslade said in response to this "print cliff fall" that newspapers had no future.

Other commentators have said the modern journalism is increasingly being performed in a cheaper, high-volume way, describing the resulting product with derogatory terms such as newszak (combination of "news" and "muzak"), infotainment and junk-food journalism.

Speed
In their book No Time to Think, authors Howard Rosenberg and Charles S. Feldman emphasised the role of speed in degrading the quality of modern journalism.  An example is given of the BBC guide for online staff which gives advice to ensure good quality but also the contradictory advice, "Get the story up as fast as you can… We encourage a sense of urgency—we want to be first."

Combating churnalism
Some organizations and tools have arisen to combat churnalism. In April 2013, the American Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit organisation which advocates for openness and transparency, in partnership with the UK's Media Standards Trust, launched churnalism.com, an online tool to discover churn. It used a database of known press releases and compared the text of a submitted URL to determine what percentage of it was derived churn.

The Register commented that some level of "churnalism" is both normal and healthy for news organisations, but said it considered the Media Standards Trust linked to campaigns supported by "wealthy and powerful individuals and celebrities" in favour of "state control of the media" in the UK, and claimed there was significant irony in the Sunlight Foundation tool launch announcement itself being "uncritically churned by many of the usual suspects".

In Australia, the nationwide ABC public TV service airs a highly critical weekly 15-minute programme, Media Watch which regularly exposes churnalism, plagiarism, media bias and unethical behaviour by journalists and radio talk-back hosts.

Democratic Movement – United Georgia () is a political party in Georgia chaired by Nino Burjanadze; it was founded on 24 November 2008. The secretary-general of the party is Vakhtang Kolbaia.

Until 2012, the party was in opposition to the government led by Mikheil Saakashvili and his United National Movement. The party favoured closer ties with both Russia and the European Union while maintaining and expanding many of the government's economic and social reform initiatives. It also claimed to seek greater political freedom above and beyond what Saakashvili's administration claimed to provide. It vehemently opposed what it characterised as authoritarianism on the part of Saakashvili's government.

The government accused the opposition of plotting a coup in the wake of the 2008 South Ossetia war.  In turn, the party accused the government of conducting a "campaign of terror" against the opposition.

The party has remained in opposition since the Georgian Dream's victory over the United National Movement in 2012 parliamentary elections. It challenged both Georgian Dream and United National Movement, two largest and most influential parties in Georgia, and briefly establish itself as the third force in the Georgian politics.

The party opposed the Georgia's proposed NATO membership and blamed it for Georgia's strained relationship with the Russian Federation. The party proposed to reject Georgia's prospective NATO membership by enshrining "non-bloc status" and military neutrality in the constitution. In exchange for this, the party promised to restore good relations with Russia, reaching an agreement with Moscow on a visa-free regime for Georgians, removing Russian troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia (disputed Georgian regions under Russian occupation since the 2008 Russo-Georgian War) and opening Russian market for Georgian products. To this end, the party's leader Nino Burjanadze visited the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow several times, the most recently in 2019.

While the party supported enhancing cooperation with the European Union, it considered the Georgia's proposed EU membership only theoretical and long-term objective. Instead, the party argued that Georgia should reorient towards building friendly relations with Russia as its foreign policy priority.

In domestic politics, the party argued for strengthening democratic institutions, replacing military conscription with the contract-based service, imposing progressive tax system, reducing taxes for small businesses, banning foreign ownership of Georgian land, setting term limits for judges, allowing private arbitrate to settle economic disputes, bringing officials from Saakashvili administration to responsibility for "drawing Georgia into the 2008 war with Russia", increasing pension and minimum wage, decriminalizing drug use, banning banks from selling the only residential place without giving a share to incapable family members, introducing six-month unemployment benefits and "mother's salary", curbing immigration, protecting traditional values and fighting against "propaganda of homosexuality and incest".

Running on this platform, the party received around 10% of votes in 2013 presidential election and 2014 local election, ending up on third place in both cases. In 2014 some leaders of Christian-Democratic Movement joined and formed Bloc with Burjanadze's party and Georgian Troupe. The party frequently criticized the Georgian Dream government for perceived failure to improve relations with Russia and accused the Georgian political elite of "playing into America's hands".

Following the brief success, the party's popularity decreased and it eventually faded into obscurity.

Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the party shifted towards Euro-Atlanticism, saying that "today is a completely different reality".

Alvin Robert Powell II (born November 19, 1959) is a former National Football League guard. He currently speaks about drug awareness and substance abuse.

Football career
Powell spent the 1984 USFL season with the Oklahoma Outlaws based in Tulsa and then moved with the team in 1985 to become one of the Arizona Outlaws based in Tempe, Arizona, after Oklahoma had merged with the Arizona Wranglers. He blocked for among others, quarterback Doug Williams who would later win Super Bowl XXII with the Washington Redskins.
Powell was drafted into the NFL in 1984 by the Seattle Seahawks, in the second round of the 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft of USFL and CFL Players (49th overall).
Powell joined the NFL in 1987 with the Seattle Seahawks. The team was moderately successful that year, winning nine games, and losing six, before losing to the Houston Oilers in the AFC Wildcard playoff. The next year, the team won nine games, and lost seven, before losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Divisional Playoff.

He joined the Miami Dolphins in 1989, but only played in two games before resigning.

He played with the London Monarchs of the World Football League from 1991 to 1992.

In his first season with the Seattle Seahawks (1987), he was involved in three kickoffs, gaining 23 yards. However, 14 of those came from one kickoff. He also fumbled the ball once. After that season, he never was involved in another NFL kickoff. In 1987, he played in a career-high twelve games. That number sank to six the next year, and to two by 1989.

Drug addiction and counseling
Powell started using crack cocaine in 1985, and by 1988 was addicted to cocaine, and was smoking marijuana and drinking significant amounts of alcohol.

Powell currently is a substance abuse counselor, helping people combat their drug problems. He also speaks at schools about drugs. Despite the fact that he is a devout Christian, he says that he never forces the people who he helps to believe in God.

He runs the Saving Station Foundation, which teaches people about the dangers of drugs. It is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Voice of Maldives, or Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu (), is a radio station in the Republic of Maldives. Raajjé Radio, owned by the state, began broadcasting in 1962, under the name 'Male Radio'. It runs two radio channels, Voice of Maldives  on 1458 kHz AM with a live internet stream  (news and information) and RajjeFM (entertainment).

Voice of Maldives is a national radio service and is operated by the Ministry of Information Arts and Culture under the Government of the Republic of Maldives. Sound broadcasting started in India in 1962 with the proliferation of private radio clubs. The operations of Voice of Maldives began formally on 11 September 1966 as a government organization, with clear objectives to inform, educate and entertain the public.

The VOM today has a one main broadcasting centre and two re-broadcasting centers. The coverage is about 90% of the whole Maldives via MW (Medium Wave transmission) at 1449 kHz; the remaining 10% is covered using small FM transmitters via a radio uplink/downlink from satellites. Voice of Maldives also has one FM broadcasting service, most of the FM transmissions are concentrated on entertainment and music. The transmitting frequency is 89 MHz. The coverage area is about 30 kilometers from the capital Male. There are facilities to broadcast 24 hours per day. and most of the programmes are broadcast in the Maldivian language as they have been for over forty-two years.

History

Broadcasting in the Republic of Maldives began under the name of Malé Radio on 29 December 1962 as a normal radio communication set without any specialized knowledge of broadcasting. During this time, the broadcasting equipments were locally made by hobbyists. The programmes were only aired for about five to ten minutes with two minutes of news and current affairs. Within a short period of only one year, the radio service was taken over by CINEMA Company and the broadcasting service was renamed to SENECO RADIO with newly built local SW transmitters. The broadcasting became a fully government operated service on 11 September 1966, and again on 19 February 1967, its name was changed to Maldives Island Broadcasting service (MIBS).

As the broadcasting gained more popularity, the government decided to run the broadcasting in a purposely built building on 26 June 1968. With the advent of new technologies and due to the importance of this indispensable service, the government decided to re-structure the service and later renamed to Radio Maldives on 16 February 1969. From 1970 onwards, as the Maldives is a 100 percent Muslim country; Radio Maldives thought the radio could play a major role in religious teachings. As a result, Radio Maldives started a daily broadcasting of the Dhivehi translation of Quran every morning. This is one of the few programmes that are still broadcast daily.

Among the most popular programmes during those days is called Radio Haveeru, a programme specially dedicated to self-improvement and public awareness. Late seventies played an important role in the history of Voice of Maldives Maldives, it became even more popular among the public, and thus it has to increase its current air time to allow 09 hrs and 15 minutes daily for local programmes which concentrated on music. 21/2 hours daily dedicated to International News and music.

Radio Maldives was renamed Voice of Maldives by President Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom on 19 January 1980. On 29 December 1981, the government secured a grant aid from the Australian Government which provided a 5-kilowatt medium-wave transmitter. With the ever-increasing demand for radio, there was an immediate need for a building expansion to cater for recording and production studios which gave way to a foundation for a totally new building. This is the present Voice of Maldives building at Maafannu. , the Voice of Maldives used a 10KW digital medium wave transmitter from Harris operating at 1449 kHz for its AM transmission.

Wazoo (often known as the Wazoo bar) was a candy bar launched by Topps in 2009.
The bar was taffy with a creamy, tangy coating covered in sprinkles. The candy bar came in two flavors: "Blue Razz" and "Wild Berriez". It was invented by Dan Hart and his partner Gary Weiss and was pitched to Topps who began production. The company that was in charge of producing the Wazoo Bar shortly went bankrupt once they hit store shelves, making the bars that were distributed the only ones that were ever available.

Eucalyptus flocktoniae, commonly known as merrit, is a species of tree or mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth, silvery grey bark, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, prominently beaked flower buds in groups of seven or nine and barrel-shaped or urn-shaped fruit.

Description
Eucalyptus flocktoniae is a tree or a mallee that typically grows to a height of  and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth silvery grey or brownish bark, sometimes with a small amount of rough bark near the base. Young plants and coppice regrowth have elliptical to egg-shaped or lance-shaped leaves that are  long and  wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to curved, the some glossy green on both sides,  long and  wide on a petiole  long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven or nine on an unbranched peduncle  long, the individual buds on pedicels  long. Mature buds are oval,  long and  wide with a prominently beaked to horn-shaped operculum  long. Flowering occurs from August to December or from January to April and the flowers are white to cream-coloured or pale yellow. The fruit is a woody, barrel-shaped or urn-shaped capsule  long and  wide.

Taxonomy and naming
Merrit was first formally described in 1911 by Joseph Maiden who gave it the name Eucalyptus oleosa var. flocktoniae in the Journal of the Natural History and Science Society of Western Australia. In 1916, Maiden raised the variety to species status as E. flocktoniae. The specific epithet (flocktoniae) honours "Miss Margaret Flockton, the accomplished artist of my 'Critical Revision of the genus Eucalyptus' and 'Forest Flora of New South Wales'".

"Merrit" is the name given to the species by Noongar people.

In 1999, Dean Nicolle and John Conran described two subspecies and the names have been accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
 Eucalyptus flocktoniae (Maiden) Maiden subsp. flocktoniae has glossy green leaves;
 Eucalyptus flocktoniae subsp. hebes D.Nicolle has bluish green leaves.

Distribution and habitat
Eucalyptus flocktoniae usually grows in open woodland and forest on sandy plains. Subspecies flocktoniae occurs between Mingenew, the Stirling Range and the Ravensthorpe area. Subspecies hebes has a narrower distribution mainly between Esperance and Balladonia.

Lorenzo Wilson Milam, born on August 2, 1933, in Jacksonville, Florida; died on July 19, 2020, in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico, was an American writer and activist who was instrumental in starting many of the first listener-supported community radio stations in the United States, beginning with KRAB in Seattle in 1962.

Early life
In 1952, at age 19, he was diagnosed with polio. His sister died of the disease on December 29, 1952, but Milam's case was milder and he was able to walk with crutches after one year. This and the aftermath are described in his autobiographical book "The Cripple Liberation Front Marching Band Blues."

Community radio
Milam is credited with helping start 14 stations from the early 1960s through late 1970s. He got his start in radio volunteering in 1958–1959 at Lew Hill's KPFA in Berkeley, California. He used a $15,000 inheritance to buy a small FM transmitter in 1959 and spent the next 3 years seeking a broadcasting license "anywhere in the US" from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which assigned him a frequency in Seattle, 107.7FM. With the help of volunteer engineer Jeremy Lansman he was able to get his antique Collins Radio transmitter on the air in 1962, creating the station KRAB.

Milam and Lansman later assisted in the creation of community radio stations around the country, starting in 1968 with KBOO (1968-1971) in Portland; KTAO (1968-1974); KDNA (St. Louis) 1969-72; KPOO (1972-) San Francisco;, KCHU, 1975-77; KFAT (1975-1983) Gilroy, California; WORT; WRFG 89.3 FM (Atlanta, Georgia); KOPN 89.5 FM (Columbia, Missouri); KZUM 89.3 FM (Lincoln, Nebraska).

The KRAB Nebula, was a tape exchange, using quarter-inch audio tape sent to stations, sharing programs.

According to David Armstrong in A Trumpet to Arms: Alternative Media in America, "Milam's passion for community radio--and 1.1 million from the sale of a second station, KDNA-St.Louis, to commercial broadcasters in 1973--led him to become a veritable Johnny Appleseed of community radio."

Sex and Broadcasting
Milam authored the 1971 book Sex and Broadcasting, A Handbook on Starting a Radio Station for the Community.

The "godless" petition
In December 1974, Milam and Jeremy Lansman, both radio broadcast consultants in California, sent a petition, RM-2493 to the Federal Communications Commission asking for a freeze on new licenses for educational television and radio channels, and an investigation into religious broadcasters. Although the agency did not consider the petition (on First Amendment grounds), the FCC received over a million letters, about 3,000 per day for many months, protesting the petition, the largest number of letters that the FCC has ever received on an issue.

The Fessenden Review
Milam published 13 issues of the print publication The Fessenden Review between 1985 and 1989. Content was eclectic to an extreme degree, and as likely to confound readers as to amuse them. Issues were released at successively longer intervals as finances dwindled, and later issues were irregularly numbered. Milam hoped that anyone chancing upon a copy at a newsstand would assume it was the current issue and buy it, and that confused dealers would be less likely to identify culls.

Ralph (journal)
Milam, as Publisher/Editor, produced 294 online issues, 1994-2019, of the online publication RALPH: The Review of Arts, Literature, Philosophy and the Humanities.

Anthony Nation (born 15 July 1963) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer. His league and championship career with the Cork senior team lasted nine years from 1984 to 1992.

Career

Nation first played competitive Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with Nemo Rangers. After progressing onto the club's senior team, he enjoyed a hugely successful era and won All-Ireland medals in 1984, 1989 and 1994. Nation also won four Munster medals and four county senior championship medals.

Nation made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he was selected for the Cork minor team. He enjoyed two championship seasons with the under-21 team, culminating with the winning of an All-Ireland medal in 1984. By this stage he had also joined the Cork senior team, making his debut during the 1984 championship. Over the course of the next eight years, Nation won two All-Ireland medals as part of Cork's back-to-back successes in 1989 and 1990. He also won four successive Munster medals and one National Football League medal. He was selected for Cork for the last time in May 1992.

After being selected on the Munster inter-provincial team for the first time in 1991, Nation was an unused substitute throughout the championship and ended his career without a Railway Cup medal.

Oritang (오리탕) is a variety of guk, Korean soup or stew made by slowly simmering duck and various vegetables. Ori means "duck" and tang is another name for guk in Korean. While its recipe depends on region and taste, the soup is generally in a form of a clear soup. Some variants can contain chili pepper powder to make the soup spicy like maeuntang (spicy fish soup) or roasted perilla seeds to thicken the dish. Oritang is a local specialty of Gyeonggi Province and South Jeolla Province, especially Gwangju City. In Gwangju, about 20 restaurants specializing in oritang and other duck dishes are centered on Yudong Alley in Buk-gu (Northern District).
