INTRODUCTION The largest commercial terrestrial TV-channels on national level in Macedonia continue to represent a dominant source of information for the audience; hence, they continue to exert the greatest influence on the public opinion. Therefore, on one hand, it imposes expectations that the programme they offer to the viewers should reflect quality and diversity of content, and at the same time, it should set high standards for practitioners working in TV-channels, but on the other hand, they should promote democratic values and professional principles,1 so as to advance the development of the broadcasting industry. The quality of the media content is not an obligation explicitly regulated by law; however, the national commercial TV- channels, as the most viewed and the most influential, are expected to show a sense of social responsibility and work for the public interest, since they themselves are users of public resources. Under free market conditions, the competition with quality content should serve as additional stimulation to the rivalry in the broadcasting area and as “bait” for attracting advertisers. That is

  • Media Policy for the Digital Age in Croatia ByZrinjkaPeruško&HelenaPopović 1
    Zrinjka Peruško & Helena Popović “From Transmission to the Public Good: Media Policy for the Digital Age in Croatia” in Sükösd Miklós and Adla Isanović (eds.). Public Service Television in the Digital Age: Strategies and Opportunities in Five South- East European Countries. Mediacentar Sarajevo, 2008 (Forthcoming). From Transmission to the Public Good: Media Policy for the Digital Age in Croatia By Zrinjka Peruško & Helena Popović 1. Executive Summary Public policy for digital television is arriving very late to Croatia, and without much consideration of public service content. The predominant policy thrust concerns “transmission,” i.e. the government seems not to understand (or want to tackle) the issues of content in future digital media and new platforms. The result will probably be that economic and technological interests will dominate future policy decisions, and the interest of society in obtaining balanced, impartial and diverse public service content will take second place. Public policy regarding the new digital media environment emerged late in Croatia, with the first activities beginning only after 2000, and the first public debates in 2005. Policy has since then developed mostly in the area of digital television and radio broadcasting, while in the area of telecommunications the policy is still very much oriented toward transmission, without much understanding of the media. The terrestrial television broadcasters, operating at the national level in Croatia, include the public service Croatian Radio Television ( HRT ) with two channels, HTV 1 and HTV 2 , and two commercial television broadcasters: RTL Television and Nova TV . HRT has the highest audience share (54.2 per cent), followed by RTL TV (24.4 per cent) and Nova TV (13.6 per cent).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
