Licence Fee for Citizens Simple and Modern
Licence Fee for Citizens Simple and modern We have long been able to watch television programmes on a tablet and listen to radio on a smart phone. Technical equipment offers an increasing number of functions and changes in the way we use media content. Device-independent licence fees are modern and open to technological progress. For €17.50* per month the licence fee covers all public service broadcasting programmes over all means of distributions. It also ensures that there will be a varied and freely avialable programme for all citizens in the future. Public service broadcasting Independence Public service broadcasting in Germany is an essential part of a modern, democratic society: its programmes play a considerable part in forming of opinion. This solidarity-based funding through the licence fee ensures that everyone has free access to information and enables reporting independent from economic and political interests. Quality ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio offer high-quality-services that inform, educate and entertain: news programmes provide up-to-date and comprehensive information, whilst TV magazines and political talk shows provide background and analyses. Public service broadcasting also represents a unique range of entertainment, such as films, radio plays, TV series, sport and shows. Quality and ratings are not a contradiction, quite the opposite as several media awards show. Variety The programmes on TV, radio and the Internet are as wide-ranging as the interests of those who use them - a large part of the programmes are therefore barrier-free. Public service broadcasting also offers more than just the main channels: such as on ARD’s regional channels, 3sat, ARTE and PHOENIX, and KI.KA as well as on the additional digital channels. -
Faqs) As of January 2017
CONTRIBUTION REGARDING BROADCAST SERVICES -Information for Tenants - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) As of January 2017 Since 1 January 2013, there has been a contribution regarding broadcast services. This replaces the former broadcast fees; the former Gebühreneinzugszentrale (Fee Collection Center) has been renamed to ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice (ARD ZDF German Broadcast Contribution Services). A flat-rate contribution is charged to every apartment so that, in principle, every household has to pay €17.50 monthly - and this is irrespective of whether any devices in a household are available and/or used. This law ensures that all types of use are covered, including car radio. The fee must be submitted in three-month payments. To facilitate the handling of the broadcast services contribution, the most important questions from a student’s perspective are answered here (even if it is not possible, of course, for all situations to be represented): WHO MUST PAY? The apartment dweller(s) is (are) liable for the contribution. This shall include every adult person who actually resides there, irrespective of nationality. Since it is inevitable that difficulties in distinguishing might exist, it is strictly regarded that each lessee and all individuals who are registered as tenants are determined to be dwellers in the apartment. As there are – in the event of shared apartments or residential communities - several tenants, each tenant is jointly and severally liable. This means that, in principle, each and every one of the tenants may be utilized for the payment and must pay the full amount; among each other there is an obligation to pay compensation. -

Mai 2021 https://www.swr.de/swr1/sendung-swr1-radioreport-recht-100.html Hate Speech – wenn Hass im Netz zum sehr realen Problem wird Gigi Deppe: Heute mit Gigi Deppe und Alessa Böttcher: Alessa Böttcher. Gigi Deppe: Hate Speech ist unser Thema. Schon wieder so ein englisches Schlagwort, aber ein Begriff, mit dem fast jeder mittlerweile anfangen kann. „Hass Rede“ heißt es ja wörtlich übersetzt, aber dass es ein Schlagwort geworden ist, das hat seinen Grund. Im Internet wird gepöbelt und gedroht, ich hoffe sehr, dass Sie noch nicht Opfer von solchen Attacken geworden sind. Manche Betroffene finden es erst lustig, dann belastet es aber doch, was da so über einen geschrieben wird. Seit kurzem gibt es ein neues Gesetz zur Bekämpfung von Hasskriminalität. Rechtsfreie Räume im Netz sollen geschlossen werden. Wir sollen uns wehren können. Und wenn wir uns mehr wehren, dann wird der Spuk immer weniger, so ist die Überlegung. Noch ist das Gesetz nur teilweise in Kraft, manches wird erst Anfang nächsten Jahres gültig. Wir schauen uns dieses Gesetz heute an: Was steht da drin? Wird das wirklich helfen gegen Angriffe im Internet? Und wir schauen uns an, was man tun kann, wenn man von Hass im Netz oder Cybermobbing betroffen ist. Aber zuerst die Frage an meine Kollegin Alessa – du hast dich ja ganz schön in dieses Thema eingearbeitet – gab es da eine Geschichte, die dich besonders berührt hat? 1 Alessa Böttcher: Ja, und zwar von der Bloggerin Anna Wilken. -
