South African Miners Reach Lung Disease Settlement

South African miners who contracted lung diseases have reached a legal settlement.

South African miners who contracted lung diseases have reached a legal settlement. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg brings us the story. Also in the programme, on World Press Freedom Day, Rebecca Vincent of the campaign group Reporters Without Borders explains her organisation's research which ranks the ease with which reporters can do their jobs around the world. And we hear from Brazil, where the United Nations has expressed concern about dangerous conditions for journalists. We find out about the media mogul Rupert Murdoch's approach to management and business, from Dr Irwin Stelzer who has written a book called 'The Murdoch Method'. Plus as the world's biggest live entertainment company Live Nation takes a controlling stake in South America's most famous festival, Rock in Rio, Sam Howard-Spink, associate professor of music business at New York University, tells us what the deal means for the global live music industry.
