  • How Public Service Broadcasters in the Western Balkans Interact with Their Audiences
    Public services without a public? How Public Service Broadcasters in the Western Balkans interact wiTh their audiences ¿Servicios Públicos sin público? Cómo los PSB interactúan con sus audiencias en los Países Balcánicos Occidentales Davor Marko (Analitika, Centre for Social Research, Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) [[email protected]] http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/IC.2017.i01.08 E-ISSN: 2173-1071 IC – Revista Científica de Información y Comunicación 2017, 14, pp. 217 - 242 Abstract Struggling to cope with structural societal changes, digitalized news production, and the modified habits of fragmented media publics, public service broadcasters are expected to redefine the logic of their operations in order to regain the trust of citizens and engage them. This paper looks at how public service broadcasters in seven countries of the Western Balkans have embraced new approaches, technologies, and online channels to foster interaction with their audiences. This includes the analysis of their structures, the popularity of offline programmes, and the use of online channels to reach the public, on the basis of evidence, experiences and specific findings collected during the period 2014-2016, as part of the project implemented by the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) and the Centre for Social Research Analitika (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina). Resumen Habitamos un contexto complejo en que los medios requieren (1) abordar cambios sociales significativos en las sociedades, (2) la digitalización de la producción de noticias y (3) las modificaciones en los hábitos de los fragmentarios públicos. En este entorno los medios de servicio público han de redefinir la lógica de su proceder de cara a la recuperación de la confianza entre la ciudadanía, restaurando los vínculos.

  • Tv Distribution Platforms
    AVAILABILITY OF EUROPEAN PSM SERVICES ON TV DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS In most countries, DTT is essential for Public Service Media (PSM) services as it is often the only Free-to-air1 (FTA) platform, even if in some countries, penetration of satellite or cable is similar or higher. This document provides information on the availability and use of alternative distribution platforms for PSM services. This includes Free-to- view2 (FTV) and access to PSM via the open internet. Although in many countries these alternatives exist and can complement DTT, currently, they cannot replace DTT in all countries. 1. PROVISION OF FREE-TO-AIR SERVICES ON ALTERNATIVE PLATFORMS In many countries, DTT is the only distribution platform offering FTA television services. Table 1 in the Annex3 shows the current availability of PSM distribution platforms in 22 European countries. All alternatives to FTA are either only available to subscribers as part of a paid package, via “Free to View” access cards or via an internet or mobile subscription. Subscriptions clearly represent a hurdle to those who cannot afford, or do not wish to pay for, a commercial package (whether just TV, an internet connection or a combination package including both or triple play (incl. mobile subscription)). The use of access cards represents an extra burden and costs on either broadcasters or platform providers, i.e. to manage databases of eligible households, handle the cards, and provide user support. Experience shows that platform operators whose core proposition is to provide pay-TV packages are reluctant to provide Free-to-View cards and the corresponding user equipment.

  • Public Service Media Under Crossfire by Protest Movements
    March 2019 Media Programme South East Europe Public Service Media Under Crossfire by Protest Movements Protesters in South East Europe criticise their governments and demand more independence of the public broadcasters Hendrik Sittig, Darija Fabijanić There is seething unrest in South East Europe and immediately it is called ”Balkan Spring.” Many people are protesting in the capitals of Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Croatia out of dissatisfaction with their governments. This frustration is targeted towards the media in these countries as well – especially the public service media which are frequently considered a mouthpiece of the government. The protesters therefore call for resignation of the general directors of the broadcasters. “There won’t be a Balkan spring,” says Maja General of the public broadcaster „Radio Kocijančič, Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Televizija Crne Gore“ (RTCG), Božidar Šundić, and Security Policy/European Neighbourhood Policy the dissolution of the RTCG Council.

  • RTK's Financial Sustainability
    RTK’s Financial Sustainability: Finding alternatives to public broadcaster financing Introduction The Draft Law on the Kosovo Public Broadcaster was adopted in principle in the plenary session of June 29, 2011. With 64 votes in favor, 3 abstentions and none against, the Assembly has showed its interest to have a new law on the public broadcaster. However, the section of the Draft Law on the public broadcaster financing incited an extensive debate. Another vague section was the Article on the establishment of a second RTK channel in Serbian language. European Commission was interested on having the public broadcaster law adopted with urgency, thus it was expected that the law would be sent for adoption on the session of August 29, 2011. However, it did not happen, as it was considered that the draft law requires more time for revision. Public broadcaster financing was unclear since the very inception of this medium, and this draft law provides for no long-term mechanism of RTK financing. According to the draft law, RTK shall have regular financing from the state budget for a three-year transitional period, with an annual allocation of 0.7% of Kosovo Budget revenues, in addition to revenues from commercial advertisement. What after three years? The draft law provides that financing is done through license fee revenue, a regular fee payable by the citizens. However, the draft law doesn’t specify the manner in which fees will be collected or its amount. RTK has never had a long-term financing mechanism. Initially, RTK was supported with donor grants and annual budget allocations from the Kosovo Budget.
