Retrieved from https://repository.upenn.edu/cgcs_publications/3 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/cgcs_publications/3 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Minority-Language Related Broadcasting and Legislation in the OSCE Abstract There are a large number of language-related regulations (both prescriptive and proscriptive) that affect the shape of the broadcasting media and therefore have an impact on the life of persons belonging to minorities. Of course, language has been and remains an important instrument in State-building and maintenance. In this context, requirements have also been put in place to accommodate national minorities. In some settings, there is legislation to assure availability of programming in minority languages.1 Language rules have also been manipulated for restrictive, sometimes punitive ends. A language can become or be made a focus of loyalty for a minority community that thinks itself suppressed, persecuted, or subjected to discrimination. Regulations relating to broadcasting may make language a target for attack or suppression if the authorities associate it with what they consider a disaffected or secessionist group or even just a culturally inferior one.

  • The Value of Public Service Media
    The Value of Public Service Media T he worth of public service media is under increasing scrutiny in the 21st century as governments consider whether the institution is a good investment and a fair player in media markets. Mandated to provide universally accessible services and to cater for groups that are not commercially attractive, the institution often con- fronts conflicting demands. It must evidence its economic value, a concept defined by commercial logic, while delivering social value in fulfilling its largely not-for-profit public service mission and functions.

  • VRT and RTBF Host PBI Virtual CEO Meeting
    VRT and RTBF host PBI Virtual CEO meeting In a different world, this week Brussels would be hosting the annual Public Broadcasters International media conference. Unfortunately, due to the corona pandemic that event has been postponed for a year. However, broadcasters VRT and RTBF have come up with a plan that allows everyone to get together now by arranging an interim, online round table discussion on Tuesday afternoon. At the head of that table are hosts VRT CEO Frederik Delaplace and RTBF Jean-Paul Philippot. How does it feel for the VRT CEO to be sitting on the other side of the table for once, and asking the questions himself? “Quite pleasant”, he laughs. “This is the first time I will be meeting my international colleagues. But it is also a pity we have to organise it in this way. We don’t have a choice of course, but I would have preferred to let it take place here physically. Soon I will be dealing with an agenda item about cooperation, which is something I find extremely important for the future. And I'm not just talking about the public broadcasters. Our real competitors are not called DPG Media or Mediahuis. They are called Google, Facebook and WeChat. We will have to join forces, just think of what Scandinavia is already doing in the field of fiction. This is an example we will soon be following in a co-production with Germany.” What is taking place today is also a good example. VRT and RTBF are joining forces. “In recent months, the strong bond between the public media and the public has become more apparent,” said Jean-Paul Philippot, CEO of RTBF.
