Working Paper No.286 released: Introducing State-Distant Public Broadcasting in Ukraine
|
|
|
| Debates about public service broadcasting in Ukraine have been underway
since the country’s independence was proclaimed in 1991. But although
most parties consider the matter important, after twenty years of
independence Ukraine still lacks a broadcaster that addresses social
interests and problems in a state-distant manner. The publication at
hand explores the background of this situation. The autor, research
associate at the Institute for Broadcasting Economics, has also listed a
chronology of key milestones (appendix 1) and a synopsis of the main
concepts proposed to date (appendix 2). |

From the author's conclusions: "The majority of political elites still
consider media as a central instrument for manipulating public opinion.
(...) Fortunately, long-standing debates illustrate that the critical
attitude of journalists and civil society organisations has increased
through new media developments. The demands for public,
state-independent broadcasting have been advanced and defended. As the
comparison of legislative projects and concepts show, suggestions from
civil society organisations have been incorporated over time.
Discussions should be continued. They should be designed to involve as
many civil society and political groups as well as state actors,
especially the Ukrainian President, and convince them of the importance
of state-distant public broadcasting. The aim of the talks should be the
elaboration of a common denominator."
