While there is no dearth of people seeking employment in this ever in demand media machine, sustainability is a major issue especially given recession driven cutbacks. The creative talents that this field draws more often than not lack the financial know-how required to even stay afloat when so many enterprises are sinking around the world.

Dem Beitrag den die römisch-katholische Kirche und die in der EKD zusammengefassten evangelischen Landeskirchen zum kulturellen Leben in Deutschland leisten, wird in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit nur eine periphere Rolle zugebilligt. 2. Die Kirchen gehören ausweislich ihrer finanziellen Aufwendungen zu den zentralen kulturpolitischen Akteuren Deutschlands. Der Korridor, der durch die unsichere Datenlage geöffnet wird, erstreckt sich zwischen € 3,500 Mia und € 4,800 Mia per annum. Der derzeit wahrscheinliche Wert liegt bei € 4,396 Mia. Eine detaillierte Erfassung aller Ebenen mit einem einheitlichen Schlüssel wird hiermit angeregt. 3. Die Kirchen setzen vermutlich etwa 20% ihrer Kirchensteuern und Vermögenserlöse für ihre kulturellen Aktivitäten ein. 4. Die Kirchen liegen mit ihren Aufwendungen für Kultur im Vergleich der öffentlichen Ebenen auf einem der vorderen Plätze, mindestens gleichauf mit den Gemeinden und Ländern.

  • State Electronic Media During the Parliamentary Elections of October 2000
    REPORT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NON- STATE ELECTRONIC MEDIA DURING THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS OF OCTOBER 2000 Preface This Report on the Performance of the Non- State Electronic Media During the Parliamentary Elections of October 2000 is the counterpart of the Report by INFORM on The Publicly Funded Electronic Media. The Reports were prepared in collaboration with Article 19 and with the generous assistance of NORAD, The Asia Foundation and the Royal Netherlands Embassy. The issue of media performance at the time of elections is an extremely pertinent one for a variety of reasons. Of especial importance is the division within Sri Lanka between state and non-state media and the impact this has on the performance of the media during election time. Issues of agenda setting, partisan bias and stereotype invariably surface and in turn confirm that partisan allegiance characterizes media in Sri Lankan irrespective of type of ownership and management. Consequently, the role of the media in helping citizens to make informed choices at elections is seriously diminished and the need for greater professionalism in the media reinforced. This Report highlights these issues through an analysis of election reportage. It concludes with a set of recommendations which have been classified into the mandatory and the voluntary. CPA believes that the issue of media reportage at election times is integral to strengthening the institutions of a functioning democracy in Sri Lanka and of fundamental importance in enhancing the contribution of civil society to better governance. This Report, its conclusions and recommendations are presented in this spirit and in the hope that electronic media reportage at election time can develop in the near future, into an example of media best practice in Sri Lanka.
