Radio Romania International (RRI)
http://www.rri.ro/
Radio Romania International launched their new website in mid-April of this year, and it’s very nice. The RRI homepage is formatted in a similar way to many other broadcasters’ websites, with links across the top and left side, news and features in the centre and links to audio and major features on the right. Headings on the top include The English Service, Today in the News, What’s on This Week, Forum (actually a contact page), Reception Report, and QSL, which shows RRI’s printed QSL cards – these appear to change every month! On the left you’ll fi nd Contact Us (perhaps this can be combined with Forum, Reception Report, and QSL in the future), current Frequencies, histories of both RRI and Romania, Contest (nothing new at the moment, Things to Know, and Media Partners.

On the right side of the website are links to three different RRI audio streams, each available in Real Audio and MP3 format. The quality of these streams was excellent during my listening. Below this is a listing of twelve languages used by RRI, and here’s the twist – when choosing a different language, the news and features in the middle of the page are also different! Even the photos change. Given that my Russian (and most of the other choices) is non-existent, I cannot give too many details, but it appears that each of the RRI language versions has been tailored to a specifi c listening/viewing audience. Excellent work! Please, take the time to explore RRI, as their new website is very well put together. Next month we’ll close up the cottage, send the kids to school, and have a look at Russia, South Africa, Spain, and Sri Lanka. Don’t hesitate to send me some feedback as I begin planning for 2008.
