  • Pandemic Influenza “Flu”
    TOWN OF GREENWICH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH G REENWICH Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 Greenwich, 101 D Field Point Road Point Field EPARTMENT OF A Resource Guide to Prepare for Pandemic Influenza “Flu” While natural or man-made disasters and terrorist attacks cannot be H controlled, we can take measures to prepare ourselves for emergencies. EALTH The transmission of the avian influenza A virus H5N1 to humans from domestic poultry in Asian countries has awakened us to the fact that emerging infectious diseases are a serious public health threat of the 21st century. As the lead public health agency in Greenwich, the Department of Health is coordinating planning activities with state and federal health agencies to prepare for any possible influenza pandemic. In an effort to assist with the challenges that an influenza pandemic might bring, this guide lists some helpful steps that you and your family can follow. Although the information contained in this guide is specific for an influenza outbreak, much of what is outlined can be applied to other disasters. After reading this brochure, we hope that you will create a family pandemic flu plan. By making preparations in advance, you will feel more confident in your decisions. Make it a priority to gather the items your family will need for a Flu Care Kit and keep this guide in an accessible location so you can refer to it when needed. While government does its part in preparing for public health emergencies, individual action and responsibility is needed. By working together, potential health threats can be identified and a coordinated community response can be achieved.

  • Station Ownership and the Provision and Consumption of Radio News
    Station Ownership and the Provision and Consumption of Radio News Joel Waldfogel The Carlson School and Department of Economics University of Minnesota April 5, 2011 0 This study aims to provide some evidence on the availability of radio news, along with evidence about the relationship between station ownership and the availability of news programming. Ownership of radio stations can affect their targeting – and the appeal they have for listeners – for a variety of reasons. First, joint ownership of stations can affect owners’ positioning incentives. A firm owning many stations in a market may have an incentive to reduce format duplication and therefore may offer more variety than a similar number of atomistic stations would offer. Second, joint ownership – within or across markets – can reduce costs, possibly allowing a given-sized audience to support more stations and variety. Just as this may operate overall – across radio formats – it may operate among news formats as well.1 Finally, the nature of the station’s owner may affect the station’s targeting. First, a news radio station owned by a firm operating a newspaper may be able to operate with lower costs. Thus, markets with cross-ownership may have more available news stations. Second, there is some evidence that the presence of minority owners increases the amount of programming targeted at minority listeners. Minority ownership – relatively rare overall – is quite uncommon in news. Public station ownership, on the other hand, is quite common for news (along with classical and jazz programming). Existing literature provides reason to believe that public news stations are sufficiently dissimilar to commercial stations so that public stations would not simply displace commercial stations and would instead provide additional, 2 distinct varieties.
