    Questionnaire - Revision of the Communication from the Commission on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting 1. GENERAL 1.1. A number of significant legal developments have taken place in the public broadcasting area since 2001, namely the adoption of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the adoption of the Decision and Framework on compensation payments as well as Commission decision-making practice. Do you think that the Broadcasting Communication should be up-dated in light of these developments? Alternatively, do you consider that these developments do not justify the adoption of a new text? There is no need for revision or change of the Communication at the moment. The Communication on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting (OJ 2001/C 320/4) lays down flexible principles which have made it possible to resolve a number of cases by taking due account of the specificity of the public service broadcasting sector. The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (OJ 2007/C 332/27) takes into account the emergence of new media and recalls the importance of the coexistence of public and private providers of audiovisual media services and the firm need for the public service broadcasting remit to continue to benefit from technological progress (Recital 9). Public service broadcasters consider that there is no particular pressing need to revise the current Communication. Any updating which may take place needs to ensure stability for public service broadcasters while maintaining the flexibility of the current system, a system which makes it possible to offer legal solutions to organizations of various sizes and operating on various markets which have a remit to offer public service output responding to the needs and choices of their respective societies.

    Oliveira, M.; Portela, P. & Santos, L.A. (eds.) (2012) Radio Evolution: Conference Proceedings September, 14-16, 2011, Braga, University of Minho: Communication and Society Research Centre ISBN 978-989-97244-9-5 Euranet: a Case Study of Pan-European Radio MANUEL FERNÁNDEZ SANDE AND J.IGNACIO GALLEGO PÉREZ Universidad Complutense de Madrid / Universidad Carlos III de Madrid [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract: From its early beginnings as a single idea to its current status as an organisation of 27 member states, the European Union has suffered from the lack of a common cultural identity. This debility has greatly hindered the progress of European consolidation and convergence, which to the present day has been manifested mainly through economic and policy agreements. The European Union has achieved many goals during the last 25 years, including the implementation of a common currency that has led to a real economic union between member states and the transfer of various national competences to European institutions. However, the construction of a real European civil society has proved to be a greater challenge; Europeans still cling to their individual national, regional and local identities and have not developed a greater sense of European citizenship. The Euranet Project—an initiative to create a pan-European radio network—began in December 2007 as a joint proposal put forth by 13 national and regional radio stations operating in 12 European countries. Its stated mission when it went on air on April 1, 2008 was to broadcast European news from a transnational perspective to local communities within the European Union.

After deportationsand migrations, the group of Caucasian Germans now consists of those who havesince emigrated to Germany and those who still liveinthe South Caucasus.

  • 1Michael Brown, 2Galiya Ibrayeva Why Study Journalism: Motivation
    Michael Brown, Galiya Ibrayeva 35 UDC 19.01.09 1Michael Brown, 2Galiya Ibrayeva 1PhD Emeritus professor, University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming, USA e-mail: [email protected] 2Professor, doctor of political science al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan e-mail: [email protected] Why Study Journalism: Motivation of Future Kazakh Journalists This paper is part of a large international research project: Journalism Students across the Globe: Professionalization, Identity and Challenges in a Changing Environment. Journalism education in Kazakhstan, like elsewhere, needs to account for changes in the information environment. This project examines the motives to study journalism by students from Kazakhstan. Do today’s student motivations reflect an understanding of new media with its text, images, infographics, data, and new genres; and how should a journalist combine knowledge of the various media fields? Study of the motivations of Kazakh students in this context is important for both national interests and aligning Kazakh journalism education with international expectations. An online survey used open-ended questions to elicit replies. Questions focused on career opportunities for journalism students, aspects of education that motivate students and whether a university degree is necessary to become a professional journalist. Findings were compared to historical journalistic motivations in Kazakhstan. Students now are driven by different motives. In the past journalistic education was a building block for a career in politics or writing. Now students know various fields of journalism and what the fields offer. Journalism students prefer TV, but a high percentage also prefer the increasingly important online environment. The formula for modern education in the age of information and new technologies is an ongoing systematic process of learning for both educators and students, driven by motivations that are important not only within the walls of universities, but in everyday life.

  • Morphosyntax of Verb Movement and Afrikaans Verbal Constructionsl
    95 Morphosyntax of verb movement and Afrikaans verbal constructionsl Eric J. C. Vriends University of Stellenbosch 1 Introduction In his Morphosyntax of verb movement: a minimalist approach to the syntax of Dutch (1997) zwart argues for an alternative analysis to the traditional analysis2 of the word order variation that exists in West Gennanic subject initial main clauses and embedded clauses. This alternative analysis is a heavily revised version of the one Zwart presented in his 1993 dissertation. The revised version focuses on a smaller section of Dutch syntax than the preceding work and revolves crucially around a proposal of feature movement and the interaction between syntax and morphology. It also deviates from the traditional analysis in the assumption that the underlying word order for Dutch is SVO and that all functional projections are head initial. Zwart (1997) furthermore claims that the analysis presented for Dutch can be carried over to the other West Germanic languages. At least one of these languages, Afrikaans, is not discussed by Zwart and my main interest in this article is to see whether Zwart's proposed analysis holds when applied to this language. 2 A minimalist analysis of verb movement We will now familiarise ourselves with the relevant parts of Zwart's (1997) analysis of verb movement asymmetry in Germanic languages. First we will look at the assumptions Zwart makes for the underlying word order and the position of the heads in Dutch. Then we will look at the phenomenon of double (complementiser) agreement, which provides the empirical argument for Zwart to assume the existence of AgrS-to-C movement.
