Journalists must be able to work independently – without political or economic influence or any other reprisals. This is also a recognition of the terrible history of the Second World War and the totalitarian rule of the National Socialists over a huge part of Europe. For this reason, public service media were established in (West) Germany after 1945 after the model of the BBC. It was without question a gift for Germany and its democratic development. Public service media – in Germany as well as in other European countries – have a legal task. They are exclusively committed to the welfare of all and must not unilaterally support a party, organisation or any other type of grouping. Its programmes should inform, educate, advise. They can and should also entertain. Its contents, whether on television, radio or online, still stand for seriousness and credibility. Despite all doubts, trust in public service media remains high in many countries. This is confirmed by regular opinion polls across Europe. In almost all countries in which the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is represented, the public broadcasters are ranked in the first place. But this trust is not self-evident. Even public service media must always face social and, above all, technical developments, reflect repeatedly on its foundations and mission and find answers in the democratic discourse. This book gives an overview of public service media in South East Europe; referring to the ten countries, which the Media Programme of the Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung covers. From Croatia to North Macedonia and Bulgaria to the Republic of Moldova, liberalised media markets have emerged following the collapse of socialism and its state-controlled media systems. State broadcasters have become public service media. For the first time, essential information about individual public broadcasters is being gathered. Media experts from the respective countries write, among other things, about the history, the legal framework, the financing model and organisational structures in place. The chapters are supplemented with the results of a v A Pillar of Democracy on Shaky Ground recent representative opinion poll commissioned by the Media Programme and conducted by the research institute Ipsos. We have asked the same six questions in all ten countries. In the results summarised for the entire region, two answers are very clear: almost 70 percent of respondents say that public service media are important for democracy. Unfortunately, almost 65 percent see these channels under political influence. In South Europe, in particular, this discrepancy becomes visible and audible at demonstrations when people take to the streets against their government. Then usually public service media are focus of protests and have been criticised as mouthpieces of the government. As a Media Programme, we want to strengthen the role of free and independent media and improve the work opportunities for journalists. Freedom of the press and expression are central pillars of democracy. Here in South East Europe, we accompany the process of transformation – towards a united democratic Europe. In doing so, public service media play an important role. I am convinced that if public service media do not exist, one should invent them. They are essential for democracy – if they can act free of political influence and are well funded to fulfil their tasks. We wish you enjoyable reading! Hendrik Sittig Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. Head of KAS Media Programme South East Europe vi Public Service Media and Its Future: Legitimacy in the Digital Age Public Service Media and Its Future: Legitimacy in the Digital Age The case of public service media in Germany Daphne Wolter Introduction Our democratic constitution requires a system of public service media (PSM) that is clearly differentiated from private services and that is simultaneously a tool of and a service provider for democracy. Digitalisation and the technological convergence of media have given television viewers a new power: programmes can now be received irrespective of time and place. Broadcasters are afraid of losing control as new smart TV systems reduce ordinary television to one of several options. Some experts even predict that broadcasting will completely disappear in the future; video services available worldwide will gradually replace it. But what role should the public service media play in this scenario? Will it be reduced to an insignificant niche or will it be completely written out of the future? From the viewpoint of public service media, the goal must be to remain in the ‘relevant set’. According to the so-called development guarantee1 one of the tasks of public service media is to adapt to the changing viewing habits of users. The first media ‘big bang’ 30 years ago brought a fundamental change to public service media with the introduction of the dual system (see also next section). The change was far from damaging, if one compares the German TV landscape internationally. Similarly, the second major ‘big bang’ in the form of media digitalisation can help public service media benefit and avoid becoming a victim of the digital transformation. The transformation must not be obstructed by 1 6th Broadcasting Ruling - German Federal Constitutional Court ruling (BVerfGE 83, 238), http://www.servat.unibe.ch/dfr/bv083238.html. 1 A Pillar of Democracy on Shaky Ground regulatory media policy, however. On the contrary, regulators must promote the necessary reforms, in fact they must demand and shape them. The history of public service media in Germany As a response to Germany’s Nazi past, control of media and cultural policy in Germany is decentralised: responsibility is vested with the federal states as opposed to the federal republic. Each federal state enacts its own laws regulating media and cultural matters. The legal basis for broadcasting is the so-called German Interstate Treaty on Broadcasting (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag), a contract entered into by all sixteen federal states. The Treaty provides for state public media agencies part of the ARD, the ZDF and other broadcasters. As a result, the legal structure of the contract is shaped by a variety of laws and treaties.2 As part of Germany’s democratisation after World War II, public service media were introduced on the basis of, among others, the British model (BBC). To protect broadcasting media from renewed authoritarian intervention3, public broadcasting was established in 1949 with a government-mediated guarantee intended to ensure political independence. In 1950, broadcasters established the Association of Public Service Broadcasters of the Federal Republic of Germany (ARD). This was followed by the establishment of the Second German Television (ZDF) in 1961. These broadcasters are constituted as corporations under public law and financed by licence fees (more on this in the third section). Private broadcasters were established starting in the 1980s. Since then public service media have been one of the two branches of the so-called ‘dual broadcasting system’ of the German media landscape.

  • 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.

    PROGRAMME DIVERSITY OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL TV-CHANNELS IN MACEDONIA, CROATIA AND SLOVENIA Programme Diversity of the Most Influential TV-Channels in Macedonia, Croatia and Slovenia COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE COMMERCIAL TERRESTRIAL TV-CHANNELS ON NATIONAL LEVEL PROGRAMME DIVERSITY OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL TV-CHANNELS IN MACEDONIA, CROATIA AND SLOVENIA Authors: Vesna Nikodinoska, Marina Tuneva and Slavco Milenkovski 1. 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

Strategiile de management din 2009 au vizat consolidarea obiectivului asumat prin documentele de identitate „Viziune, misiune, valori şi principii” de a face din serviciul public de radio «cel mai credibil şi eficient mijloc de informare şi formare a publicului şi de slujire a interesului public». În pofida unui an cu mari probleme economice şi financiare, în care criza presei a devenit tot mai vizibilă, a concurenţei agresive pe o piaţă suprasaturată de infinitatea modalităţilor de consum media, Radio România s-a menţinut ca principală referinţă în materie de informaţie. Programele de ştiri şi-au reconfirmat notorietatea, formatul şi ritmicitatea – Radioul public stabilizîndu-şi poziţia de lider de audienţă la fiecare oră exactă. În plus, prin complementaritatea posturilor, SRR şi-a menţinut statutul de furnizor al unor produse de certă calitate jurnalistică, validate ca atare de categorii foarte variate de public.

GODINI 52 2 | Izvještaj o radu Agencije za elektronske medije za 2013. godinu UVOD Interesovanje za pokretanje novih TV programa, uz emitovanje bez korišćenja radio-difuznih frekvencija, ali i dalje ozbiljna ekonomska situacija na medijskom tržištu obilježili su 2013. godinu. Nemogućnost korišćenja (najčešće iz ekonomskih razloga) svih ili određenih frekvencija nastavila je da bude razlog sužavanja zona pokrivanja pojedinih radio i TV emitera. Iako prelazak sa analognog na digitalno TV emitovanje nije dinamiziran, Agencija za elektronske medije je nastavila sa aktivnostima usmjerenim na jačanje kapaciteta i prikupljanje iskustava neophodnih za ispunjavanje kako njenih obaveza, tako i zadataka sa kojima će se suočiti ostali učesnici u ovom kompleksnom procesu. Sprovođenje regionalnog projekta SEE Digi.TV, realizovanog uz podršku evropskih IPA fondova, predstavljalo je značajno iskustvo i opravdanost Agencijinih kontinuiranih ulaganja u praćenje trendova i razvoj stručnih kapaciteta u oblasti digitalizacije i razvoja AVM usluga uz optimalno korišćenje savremenih tehnologija. To potvrđuje i uspješno uključivanje u realizaciju projekta TV WEB, koji se takođe finansira iz IPA fondova i usmjeren je ka optimizaciji korišćenja radio-difuznog spektra za prevazilaženja digitalnog jaza.

  • 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).
