Canales Católicos Hispanoamericanos: Encuesta 2023

Guillermo Ares, Gabriel Palermo

Rosario: Buena Nueva Comunicación (BNC) (2023), 26 pp.

"Esta encuesta se propone aportar información que sirva para generar posibles instancias y/o políticas de promoción, cooperación y apoyo en favor del trabajo de los canales católicos de Hispanoamérica, Desde BNC nos valemos de la relación de años que tenemos con el personal de los canales y ... de los mecanismos de comunicación y dialogo fraternal que hemos generado con ellos para hablar con confianza y responsabilidad sobre la información que hemos podido recopilar, también echamos mano del primer estudio que realizáramos años atrás [= 2013] y decidimos continuar con la misma idea en cuanto a tópicos para evaluar y el mismo sistema de preguntas que pretende relevar una serie de aspectos cuantificables con los que intentaremos encontrar variables y tendencias en la operación y desarrollo a través del tiempo de los canales [...] Agradecemos a todas las personas pertenecientes a los 39 canales de 13 diferentes países que se tomaron el tiempo y la gentileza de contestar nuestras comunicaciones y participar de esta encuesta [...] Presentamos al lector un acercamiento rapido a los datos que consideramos importantes para dar un vistazo rapido y obtener un panorama general a partir de la informacion recopilada por esta encuesta: - El posicionamiento de la Entidad mixta (capital privado + institucion de la Iglesia) como forma juridica de propiedad de los canales. - Un 76% de los canales afirma ser propietario del lugar desde donde se realizan las operaciones. - Las pequenas donaciones privadas locales se constituyen en la principal fuente de financiacion, seguido de la venta de publicidad o espacios a terceros. - La transmision por cable local, cable nacional y aire local son los principales tipos de transmision. - El 26.47% de los canales emiten a lo largo de 12 horas, seguido de cerca por aquellos que transmiten ininterrumpidamente durante 24 horas, representando el 20.59%. - El 45,95% de los canales encuestados cuentan con entre 1 y 4 estudios. - La distribucion de la cantidad de camaras entre los canales encuestados revela que la mayoria (30.77%) posee 4 camaras. - En cuanto a marcas de camara Sony lidera siendo el 53.85% de las camaras que usan los canales. - Los sistemas de edicion se componen en su mayoria por entre 3 y 2 por cada canal. - La mayoria de integrantes de los canales tiene entre 26 y 45 anos y mayoritariamente tienen mas de 5 anos de antiguedad en sus puestos de trabajo. - El pago de salarios, la inversion en la planta fisica del canal, los costos de alquiler de satelite y la compra de equipamiento de produccion se llevan los primeros lugares en cuanto a necesidades materiales urgentes por suplir. - Un 90.6% desea recibir algun tipo de formacion. - En cuanto a necesidades de formacion, asesoramiento e informacion, la obtencion de fondos por medio de socios / donaciones, la creacion de nuevos contenidos y programas y Tecnologia de transmision sean las tres primeras necesidades de formacion mencionadas por los canales. - Falta un estudio especializado puntual en cada canal para evaluar la audiencia potencial y real ya que los metodos empleados actualmente dan resultados que no son para nada concluyentes a nivel profesional. - Segun los analisis estimativos realizados por los canales el 78.1% de la audiencia tiene entre 36 a 60 anos. Aproximadamente el 57% de la audiencia esta constituido por catolicos, el 38% por publico general. - El 34% de los programas son produccion propia de los canales. - El contenido con mensaje religioso es del 60% y un 40% con mensaje general. - La compra de programacion a terceros representa solo el 10% de la programacion total emitida. - La programacion recibida a modo de donacion paso de ser del 6% al 23% en comparacion con el primer estudio estadistico. - El contenido devocional, seguido de temas de Iglesia desarrollados en documentales, programas de formacion, entrevistas, eventos masivos, etc. son los principales en la programacion de los canales. - Hay una muy marcada falta de contenido para audiencias jovenes e infantiles. - La actualizacion de equipos para el ingreso a la TDT supone un reto a nivel economico y tecnico para los canales. - Es importante marcar claramente las fronteras entre lo que es una web tv, un servicio de streaming y capacitar sobre los diferentes tipos de regulacion legal de las licencias de la programacion en relacion a los de tv por cable y aire."

The Federal Government’s Third Report on the Global Status of Freedom of Religion or Belief. Reporting period 2020–2022
Top Insights

Frank Schwabe et al.

Bonn; Berlin: Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ);Federal Government Commissioner for Freedom of Religion or Belief (2023), 207 pp.

"Freedom of religion or belief is an essential human right. Not a superordinate right, but not a marginal right either. It is closely intertwined with other rights such as freedom of opinion or assembly, or the right to be protected against discrimination. And that is the objective of my efforts: to ... embed this right firmly at the centre of the human rights agenda. There is still a long way to go to achieve this [...] This report is about advancing the debate and it also enters new territory. It builds on the work done by my predecessor, Markus Grübel, but there are also some aspects where the report has been developed further. This is also reflected in the number of focus countries, which has been increased from 30 to 41. The German Parliament, the Bundestag, had asked for the country section to be expanded, and we were happy to comply with that request. Enlarging the range of countries covered by the report provides an opportunity to do two things at once: offer a regular report on developments in individual regions, and expand the focus in the light of new challenges. Among the focus countries that have been added this year are Armenia, Belarus, Guatemala, the Central African Republic, Lebanon, the Maldives and Syria. For some of them, the decision to add them was taken in the light of recent developments. With these aims in mind, the report will continue to be submitted at regular intervals as intended by the Bundestag, building on a solid basis of data and information. The report explores new ground above all with its thematic focus on the freedom of religion or belief of Indigenous peoples. There are about 5,000 such groups of people worldwide, with an estimated total population of more than 470 million. With this focus our report ties in with a report by the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, developing the topic further. In the process of drafting the report, I realised that we are doing pioneering work, because there was and still is the belief that Indigenous spirituality has nothing to do with freedom of religion or belief. The report provides an opportunity to look in a different way at conflicts over land and infrastructure that involve Indigenous communities. And to develop an understanding that often such conflicts are not just about resources but in fact have to do with Indigenous peoples’ belief that all natural things have a spirit or soul. My personal learning curve on this topic is closely connected with Indigenous communities in Guatemala and my experiences with conflictual infrastructure projects. When I visited Guatemala many years ago, I had difficulty understanding why people staged fierce and violent protests against small-scale hydropower plants that were actually environmentally friendly. Today I know that the areas surrounding a small river were regarded as important spiritual places, with Indigenous communities believing that the forest had a soul, and that interfering with nature there without giving any thought to the spiritual implications was not acceptable."
