Romany Dzeno Association dissociates itself from magazine
PRAGUE - The Romany Dzeno Association has
dissociated itself
from Mirror Gendalos, saying that this
magazine is not a successor
to the Romany monthly Amaro Gendalos
or Our Mirror which the association
supports and which now
appears only electronically, Katerina Mahdalova
told CTK today.
Mahdalova,
Amaro Gendalos editor-in-chief, said that it is
not clear from
Mirror Gendalos who publishes it. The imprint does
not contain
other compulsory data required by the press law
either.
She said that Dzeno Association has had no meeting with the new periodical
on support for it, and only learnt about its existence when it was already
being distributed.
Mahdalova said that the editor-in-chief of Mirror Gendalos is Jakub
Polak, former editor-in-chief of Amarao Gendalos.
"He has not held the post since January 1, 2004, and he does not have any
influence whatsoever on the content or form of the activities of Dzeno
Association," chairman Ivan Vesely says on Dzeno's internet websites at
www.dzeno.cz.
Dzeno has published Amaro Gendalos since 1997. Now it wants
to
spread information on Romanies and their life mainly via the
internet.
It has run a Romany radio station Rota on the internet
for a year.
