What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

PRAGUE, Nov 15 - Tens of thousands of Czechs protested in Prague on Sunday against a government plan to cut a public media fee and move funding to the state budget – a policy critics say would dent the broadcasters' independence and viability.
The massive protest took place at the capital's Letná Park, where huge crowds gathered during the 1989 Velvet Revolution, which ended more than 40 years of communist rule in the country
