Construction of Reality in Post-Disaster News on Television Programs : Analysis of Framing in "Sulteng Bangkit" News Program on TVRI

Television is a mass media which has always been a top priority for the community in getting accurate and reliable information. The presence of television will always be awaited by the public to convey all information, especially when natural disasters occur in an area. This article tries to provide an analysis of the news program produced by the TVRI Public Broadcasting Institutions. This study uses the framing analysis method, with a four-dimensional structural approach to the news text as a framing device from Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. This analysis aims to understand and then describe how reality is constructed by TVRI broadcasting institutions in the frame of television news programs on natural disasters, earthquakes and sunbaths in Central Sulawesi. The results of the analysis with framing showed that TVRI's reporting through the special program of natural disaster recovery "Sulteng Bangkit" showed prominence on the government's role in the process of handling and restoring conditions after the earthquake and tsunami natural disaster in Central Sulawesi.

Examining the relationships among cognitive diversity, knowledge sharing and team climate in team innovation

PurposeThis study aims to examine the role of knowledge sharing as a mediating variable on the effect of cognitive diversity on team innovation. Additionally, the study also tests the role of a moderating variable team climate on the relationship between cognitive diversity and knowledge sharing.Design/methodology/approachThe study used an explanatory approach to test the hypothesis. A survey with structured questionnaires was distributed to 39 creative teams between radio and television broadcasting institutions in the Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.FindingsThe current study shows cognitive diversity has a significant association with knowledge sharing, and knowledge sharing positively associated with team innovation. The findings of this study indicate that team climate moderates the relationship between cognitive diversity and knowledge sharing. Additionally, knowledge sharing is found not to be a significant mediation on the relationship between cognitive diversity and team innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThe study promises to examine how diverse teams work particularly in the context of creative teams in radio and television broadcasting institutions. However, this study only focuses on relationships; it does not examine the processes underlying those relationships. This study implies for future research agenda focusing on the mechanism affecting the relationships. Additionally, examining the relationship model in the context of a less-creative team such as banking industry could also a call for future research.Practical implicationsThe results of the study contribute to managerial implications which suggest that to enhance team innovation, a team leader must design a comfortable working climate that stimulates productive knowledge sharing.Originality/valueThe study provides a comprehensive understanding of knowledge sharing and team climate on the relationship between cognitive diversity and team innovation, which are missing in previous empirical studies. Then, the study is relevant because of inconclusive findings from past studies examining the relationship between cognitive diversity and team innovation.

The return of public media policy in New Zealand: New hope or lost cause?

The formation of a new coalition government in New Zealand in the wake of the 2017 election ended three terms of National-led governments and raised the prospect of a significant shift in media policy. National had insisted that in the digital media ecology, the funding of public broadcasting institutions was no longer a priority and that platform-neutral contestable funding of local content would ensure the quality and diversity of content. This saw the demise of the TVNZ Charter and its two commercial-free channels (TVNZ 6 and 7), while both Radio New Zealand (RNZ) and the local content funding agency, NZ On Air, had their funding frozen. The 2017 election of the Labour-NZ First-Green government came with the promise of an additional investment of NZ$38m in public media, the expansion of RNZ’s remit to include a commercial-free television channel, and the establishment of an independent commission to assess funding needs for public media. However, the media ecology Labour now faces entails new policy complexities. Deregulation, financialization and convergence have not only intensified commercial pressures on the media, they have led to important shifts in the ways audiences discover and engage with media content. In turn, this complicates the traditional models of state intervention intended to deliver public service outcomes. Adopting a critical institutionalist framework this article will highlight key shifts in media policy trajectory since 1999 and highlight some key differences between the public broadcasting initiatives of 1999–2008 and the approach thus far of the incoming government. The article analyses how competing intra-party and inter-ministerial priorities have circumscribed the media policy options available and thereby highlight the way political–economic interests in the media ecology manifest in public policy.

Javna RTV u Turskoj - uloga Turske radio televizije u javnoj radio-difuziji

Public Service is Broadcasting for the public, financed by the public and controlled by the public, aimed at informing, educating and entertaining, covering the entire geographical area of the country and having the responsibility of delivering broadcast services to all parts of the country. The concept of public service broadcasting dates back to the founding years of the British Corporation. This concept was put forward by the BBC's first Managing Director, John Reith. Other European countries have established public broadcasting institutions by making changes according to their subjective conditions. Public broadcasting in Turkey is carried out by Turkish Radio and Television Corporation. TRT, which started to serve in 1964, has signed many firsts in public broadcasting since 2007; public service broadcasting is able to compete with private channels. With the newly opened thematic and different languages and dialects, television and radio channels, TRT, which has started to increase with each passing day, needs to have a structure independent of political power in terms of management.This research paper focuses on the role of TRT in public broadcasting. In the first part, public broadcasting and TRT will be explained. In the second part, the duties, management style, channels and what is the TRT will be given. In the last part of Turkish Radio and Television Corporation and location will be announced in the future of public broadcasting.

Scandinavian children’s television in the 1970s: an institutionalisation of ‘68’?

In my paper I investigate how the Scandinavian broadcasting corporations’ children and youth departments were influenced by the changes in norms for children’s media which happened around “68”. My analysis is influenced by new work on Scandinavian “68”, which has shown that institutions in the region were very receptive towards the ideas held by rebelling youth. I look at how radical ideas about children’s media culture made their way in to the well-established broadcasting institutions and what expression they found when negotiated in policy papers and concrete programs. The analysis is made in three steps. First I scrutinize the Scandinavian “68” historiography to find out which ideas that has been deemed prominent within the regions youth rebellion and how these can be operationalized for an analysis of children’s television. Secondly, I analyze one of the major events in Scandinavian “68” regarding children’s media: the publication of Gunilla Ambjornsson’s Trash Culture for Children and the symposium at Hassleby Castle in 1969, which the Nordic Council initiated because of all the big debate the book caused. Thirdly, I investigate how the main points from the book and the subsequent symposium made their way into the children and youth departments of the national broadcasters in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, as well as the shared policies and programs made together by these departments within the Nordic broadcasting union, Nordvision.

Public Service Television in a Multi-Platform Environment

Cultural and economic transformations have encouraged television companies to turn their attention to multi-platform practices so as to increase their compatibility with the changing media environment. While digital media provide public service broadcasting (PSB) institutions with new opportunities for meeting their public commitments and maintaining their relevance in national media systems, PSB is also faced with additional challenges. One of these is the tension between public service values on the one hand and digital technologies and practices on the other. In this article we discuss how Finnish and Israeli PSB managers and producers perceive the opportunities and challenges of multi-platform production. In both countries public service broadcasting is striving for public legitimacy and relevance in a changing technological environment. However, the two countries currently find themselves at quite different stages: Israel has a struggling public service agency, while Finland boasts a strong broadcasting company.

Collisions of convergence

Taking the Flemish Public Service Broadcasting institution VRT’s news department as a case in point, this article analyses the impact of newsroom convergence and integration on perceptions of newsroom workers of their professional identity, the quality and professionalism of their work, and on the relationship between management and news workers. This was studied through a combination of in-depth interviews with key management figures and an online survey conducted with all VRT news workers, complemented by an analysis of relevant internal documents. Results point to certain tensions or collisions of convergence, all closely related to a clash between organizational and professional (medium- or programme-specific) culture: a collision between working for and identifying with separate cultural in-groups versus VRT News as a whole, between the impact of technological versus human factors and other contextual issues on the integration process, and between news managers and news workers.

THE STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL TELEVISION IN BRITAIN AND GERMANY

This paper compares the structural developments of regional television in Britain and Germany from the early days of broadcasting to the present from an institutional and organisational perspective. Drawing on a series of interviews with policy-makers and other key personalities, it is argued that the combination of political administrative borders and regional television boundaries, as exists in the German Länder, provides a fruitful basis for a strong regional television service. During the post-war period divergences between Länder borders and Consortium of Public-Law Broadcasting Institutions of the Federal Republic of Germany (ARD) broadcasting boundaries, palpably manifest in south-west Germany, have been harmonised, leading to thorough conformity. However, in centralised England questions of regionalism have strangely played such an important role in the evolution of television, and there are evident disjunctures between regional boundaries and television regions. This applies to the regional structure of Independent Television (ITV) as well as to the regional initiatives of the BBC, which, since the mid-1980s, increasingly takes over ITV's regional duties, fulfilling primarily political demands.

Matching Artistic Values & Public Service: Management of the Symphony Orchestra of the Belgian National Broadcasting Institute (N.I.R/ I.N.R) from 1930-1935

This article focuses on the musical management of the Symphony Orchestra of the Belgian national radio (N.I.R./I.N.R.) between 1930-1935. What and how can visions of (political) decision makers shape the financial, institutional and artistic management? What was the role and function of the Symphony Orchestra concerning artistic values and public service? We aim to make a critical refinement of the „production of culture‟ paradigm, the notion of new institutionalism and PSB. The data set is based on a preliminary historical source analysis of the annual reports, minutes of boards of governors and daily committee of the N.I.R./I.N.R. between 1930-1935. This article concludes that music played a growing role in the construction of the mission and the way public service was made operational in the beginning days of the Belgian radio. The cultural role and function of the Symphony Orchestra developed from serving the audience with entertainment to a symphony orchestra with growing attention for the cultural education of the audience.

Would we create it if it did not exist? The evolution of public broadcasting in Jamaica

In many western democracies, public service broadcasting institutions (PSB) have long been criticised, their legitimacy thwarted by technological, cultural and political developments. However, while the future might appear bleak to those who have a nostalgic vision of PSB, more encouraging and forward-looking visions are possible. As an example of forward-looking vision, this paper looks at the evolution of public broadcasting in Jamaica from the establishment of the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) in 1962, to its dismantlement in 1997, and to the formation of a new public broadcaster, the Jamaica Public Broadcasting Corporation (PBCJ), in Spring 2006. Throughout this history, and notwithstanding its many challenges, public service broadcasting continues to be a vital institution in Jamaican social, political and cultural life. Some of the questions that spur from this complex history are: In an era characterised by the everexpanding choice of media channels, while governments in wealthier countries are trying to get rid of their PSB, why is a new public broadcaster being re-established in the Caribbean island? What are its characteristics? Finally, could this attempt to recreate a public broadcaster in Jamaica be indicative of broader trends pointing to the necessity of preserving, or re-creating, public spaces in commercially saturated media environments? Although the lack of financial resources is a major challenge for the newly born PBCJ, efforts to re-build a public broadcaster speak to Jamaica's continuous desire to create a valuable alternative to commercial media. Attempts to create an efficient and socially relevant institution of public service broadcasting are discussed.

Exploring the Expanding Domain of Public Telecommunications Research

On the morning of June 16, 2001, nearly a hundred public broadcasting researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts convened in Neville Hall on the University of Maine campus for the opening plenary session of a conference entitled Broadcasting and the Public Interest. Conceived and organized by Maine assistant professor Michael McCauley, the gathering was designed to capitalize on the ferment and ideological passion that pervaded those in attendance. The ultimate goal of the conference was to serve as a launching pad for a grass roots media reform movement aimed at putting the public back into public broadcasting. This review essay speaks to the circumstances and conditions that motivated this call for action, along with the ever-growing scholarly literature that is either directly or indirectly related to it. In a real sense, this paper serves as an update a 1996 review essay (Avery, 1996) that attempted to identify and contextualize some of the most significant works on public telecommunications that had appeared during the first half of the 1990s. Taken together, these reviews illustrate both the growing interest in, and the increasing concern about, the future of public telecommunications in the United States. Historically, noncommercial educational broadcasting, public broadcasting, and more recently, public telecommunications, has not been well-represented as a significant research venue within mainstream communication scholarship. While such marginalized status may well be consistent with the posture of the public media themselves, a deeper rationale is warranted. Writers trying to explain the paucity of scholarly writings in this important area have pointed to the minimalist position public broadcasting holds in American society, resulting from the small audiences that are equated with the degree of cultural, social and political significance. When corporate, profit-motive ideology dictates the very fabric of American society, it is impossible to determine the value of any offering in public or private life except from that perspective (Streeter, 1996).(1) The highbrow orientation of its programming also has made public broadcasting less appealing as a subject for critical evaluation when the dominant commercial fare lends itself so readily to academic critique. Somewhat more mundane explanations have pointed to the less theoretically informed studies done about public broadcasting institutions that were of little interest to the editors of scholarly journals. But whatever the explanation, or combination of explanations, changes in the political and economic milieu of the 1990s combined to spark a healthy scholarly interest in public telecommunications. The ideology of American capitalism always has been at the heart of U.S. communication policy, despite the cloak of public interest rhetoric. But the astounding speed by which the profit motives of the marketplace began to dismantle any semblance of traditional public service values caught many students of the media off-guard. The dramatic shift in the telecommunications landscape brought on by the arrival of the new technologies and the enormous profit potential they embodied encouraged policy makers to break down protective structures that they began to see as trade barriers, all in the name of the public good. Global privatization began to erode the very concept of the public citizen and to replace it with that of the targeted consumer. In the United States, the combination of the Congressional attempt to zero out public funds to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which opened the flood gates to unprecedented media cross ownership and concentration, made the future of public broadcasting in America much more than cocktail conversation for the New Left. Suddenly, discussion of the impact of the new media on existing public institutions was hot, and, ironically, a new market for books addressing the subject was born. …

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Survey of Radio and Television Audiences in the Rural Areas

The survey was conducted between September and November 1987 by a survey team formed by the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee, the Ministry of Radio, Television, and Film, scholars and students from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute and the Journalism Department of the People's University of China, and the Rural Area Survey Team of the State Bureau of Statistics. The report investigated the current status, issues, and trends of radio and television broadcasting in the underdeveloped rural areas in China. In investigating the current status of radio and television broadcasting and the impact of propaganda, the team conducted a large-scale sampling survey of radio and television audiences in the rural areas. The survey's sampling frame included 846 counties with net household income between 150 yuan (U.S. $40.6) and 400 yuan (U.S. $108.3) in 1986.1 Twelve counties were selected as random samples by strata and 1, 200 households were included. For comparison sake, a sampl...

Design Criteria of Video Post Production Systems with Optimum Operational Editing Convenience

In view of the fact that only a limited number of automatic videotape editing systems are available at present in West Germany's broadcasting institutions, the Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT) started its own development program for this type of equipment. Some of me results so far obtained are described. Two pilot projects have been undertaken, one being an off-line and the other an on-line videotape editing system. While the off-line system is intended only for post production use, the on-line system can be applied in pre-broadcast program production, in post production work, and in live-program broadcasting. Both systems make use of so-called “intelligent” components (microprocessors); the off-line system uses a central intelligence, whereas the online system makes use of distributed intelligence. Ease of operator manipulation was one of the overriding design criteria. The subdivision of routine tasks, their functionally efficient control by means of clear-text operator/computer dialogue and instantly available status information were other no less important design criteria. The general layouts of both systems and their major components are described. Within 1979, prototypes of both systems will be tested in practical operation by the principal West German broadcasting stations.
