  • A Comparative Analysis of Media Freedom and Pluralism in the EU Member States
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS A comparative analysis of media freedom and pluralism in the EU Member States STUDY Abstract This study was commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee. The authors argue that democratic processes in several EU countries are suffering from systemic failure, with the result that the basic conditions of media pluralism are not present, and, at the same time, that the distortion in media pluralism is hampering the proper functioning of democracy. The study offers a new approach to strengthening media freedom and pluralism, bearing in mind the different political and social systems of the Member States. The authors propose concrete, enforceable and systematic actions to correct the deficiencies found.

  • The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV
    School of Economics and Finance The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV Ruben Durante, Paolo Pinotti and Andrea Tesei Working Paper No. 762 December 201 5 ISSN 1473-0278 The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV∗ Ruben Durantey Paolo Pinottiz Andrea Teseix July 2015 Abstract We investigate the political impact of entertainment television in Italy over the past thirty years by exploiting the staggered intro- duction of Silvio Berlusconi's commercial TV network, Mediaset, in the early 1980s. We find that individuals in municipalities that had access to Mediaset prior to 1985 - when the network only featured light entertainment programs - were significantly more likely to vote for Berlusconi's party in 1994, when he first ran for office. This effect persists for almost two decades and five elections, and is es- pecially pronounced for heavy TV viewers, namely the very young and the old. We relate the extreme persistence of the effect to the relative incidence of these age groups in the voting population, and explore different mechanisms through which early exposure to en- tertainment content may have influenced their political attitudes.

  • Audiovisual Translation for Television in Romania. an Overview
    199 Iulian Boldea (Coord.) Globalization and National Identity. Studies on the Strategies of Intercultural Dialogue COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC RELATIONS AND JOURNALISM SECTION AUDIOVISUAL TRANSLATION FOR TELEVISION IN ROMANIA. AN OVERVIEW Cristina Varga Assist. Prof., PhD, ”Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract: The present paper represents a first approach in the field and deals with the description of language transfer methods used for television productions in Romania. According to the preference in audiovisual translation in Europe, Romania is considered a subtitling country. Despite this general preference, other language transfer methods such as dubbing, voice-over, and sign language are also used. The focus of the article deals with a more comprehensive overview of the AVT in television production in Romania. The paper offers a brief analysis of the variety and distribution of AVT based on empirical data. Keywords: AVT, audiovisual translation, subtitling, dubbing, voice-over, television, AVT in Romania. 1. Introduction Audiovisual translation (AVT) is a continuously growing market in present days due to the development of media and audiovisual communication. In Europe, AVT has a rich and complex tradition and it is subject to continuous changes determined by the national and supranational regulations concerning the access of the audiences to the audiovisual productions. These factors determined modifications in the use AVT modalities in European countries. They determined, for example, the use in traditional dubbing countries such as Spain of the subtitling for hard of hearing and hearing impaired at on a large scale in television productions. On the other hand, we can observe in the last two decades that dubbing is also present as an AVT modality for television in traditionally considered subtitling countries.
