Programme 2: WATER - 2. ČÁST

How are water issues reported in the newspapers today, or what kinds of reports do we hear in news programmes? Sharon Brand I think that there has been a noticeable change in the Media as to how water and sanitation is covered. The World Summit in Johannesburg really did help change that agenda. It put development into the public domain, and something that would be of interest to people. The UK's main newspapers and television and radio news were all wanting to know about that very human side: how are the poorest people affected by the lack of most basic needs like water and sanitation? And that's something that had been difficult to sell to the Media in the past. The Media were wanting to know more about water wars and that kind of thing, rather than that very human need. VOCABULARY noticeable change - výrazná změna development - vývoj the public domain - veřejné povědomí water wars - války o vodu human need - základní lidská potřeba
