Freedom of the press is jealously
guarded in all locally produced programs. Because this broadcast policy is
strictly adhered to, Trust Territory
radio has many eagerlisteners.

including managerial positions. Micronesian newsmen, announcers, and
translators make up the balance of the

network. These employees have been
trained in the East-West Center in
Hawaii, Voice of America in Washington, D.C., and on the job, supervised
by competent American personnel.

Conference, held in Saipan, provided
discussions on programming, production, news, political broadcasts, per-

sonnel, and other subjects pertinent to

radio station management.
