Great original concept! — A recent addition to the Sydney Morning Herald's pink guide is a column entitled "Radio Highlights". It seems the concept behind the SMH's RH column is to inform readers about particular radio programs of particular interest. Regular readers of Green Left Weekly will be aware that GLW has run a column with the same title and same concept for at least a year now. We can only assume that it is case of "Great minds think alike". Or perhaps it's a case of "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"!
