Regional and Local Broadcasting in Europe

Elda Brogi, Nico van Eijk et al.

Strasbourg: European Audiovisual Observatory (2016), 119 pp.

"The purpose of this publication, which has been taken care of by our partner institution IViR of the University of Amsterdam, is to provide an overview of the often disparate information concerning regional audiovisual media in Europe and to serve as a first reference point for those interested in ... exploring their legal and operational dynamics. The introductory part sets the scene for the scope of the report and presents the most recent regulatory achievements at European level. The first part of the report opens with a survey of the current national developments, highlighting those countries where governments have been particularly active in implementing reforms in recent years, touching upon funding systems, advertising and information windows, must-carry mechanisms and frequency allocation. The different national experiences have recently been assessed under the Media Pluralism Monitor promoted by the EU. The results show that none of the countries have fulfilled all of the safeguards considered by the tool. In addition, it points out that despite the availability of legislation on regional media in most countries, only a small number of them seems to have implemented it effectively. A snapshot is provided of regional and local television in Europe from a market perspective, with country by country data on public and private broadcasters from the MAVISE database of the European Audiovisual Observatory, including specific information on language channels, regional windows and studios. The second part of the report explores a selection of national case-studies. The total variety of solutions does not allow for a sensible comparative analysis, so the purpose of this selection is rather to collect the countries that show distinctive or interesting features in their regulatory approaches. The selected countries – Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom – present a canvas of possible solutions to the challenges that regional media are facing in the current times of economic crisis and digital convergence. While findability and visibility of regional media within the wide media offer that exists in all European countries is still one of the major obstacles for regional broadcasters to be known and consequently to be consumed, several examples of good practices can be traced while looking at the various national experiences."

Primer estudio de medios digitales y periodismo en América Latina: Iniciativas, modelos de negocio y buenas prácticas
Inspiring Practice

Jordy Meléndez Yúdico

México, DF: Factual A.C.;Fondo Regional para la Innovación Digital en América Latina y el Caribe (FRIDA) (2015), 71 pp.

"El panorama de medios digitales en América Latina es sumamente diverso. Existen numerosas apuestas y distintos modelos de periodismo, pero se identifican claramente al menos tres retos comunes a todos los medios digitales de la región: 1. Financiamiento. Los medios digitales tienen como principal ... reto y preocupación desarrollar modelos de negocio que vayan más allá de la venta de pauta publicitaria y les permita, si no la rentabilidad, al menos la sostenibilidad del proyecto en los próximos años. La mayoría de los medios que realizan periodismo de investigación recibe apoyo o financiamiento de donantes internacionales y ha generado diversas estrategias de fondeo colectivo. Sin embargo, se percibe una necesidad importante por diversificar las entradas de recursos, para no depender exclusivamente de un donante, que condicione la existencia del medio. 2. Potencial digital. Existe un área de oportunidad enorme para todos los medios digitales para experimentar con nuevos formatos, herramientas y hacer mayor uso de la tecnología con fines periodísticos. Hasta inicios de 2015, son pocos los medios nativos digitales que tienen portales 100% responsivos, aún cuando el flujo de lectores desde dispositivos móviles es cada vez mayor y las tendencias indican que seguirá creciendo. Se percibe escasa o nula experimentación con tecnologías móviles, que permitan la geolocalización de noticias o la entrega personalizada de información. Salvo Soy502 y Animal Político, tampoco se han identificado el uso estratégico de drones o herramientas similares de video y recopilación de información en marchas o manifestaciones. 3. Interacción y creación de comunidades. La mayoría de los medios sigue pensando solamente en capturar lectores, si bien se identifica cierta tendencia a crear audiencias participativas y gestionar comunidades. El medio que ha llevado esto a un nivel de experimentación interesante es La Silla Vacía, con su apuesta de crear una red social dentro de su misma plataforma “La Silla Llena”, en donde líderes de opinión, políticos y lectores, pueden crear foros de discusión, debates y generar una dinámica propia de intercambio. Esto requiere, sin embargo, dedicación y entendimiento de las lógicas digitales, y de estar dispuesto a entablar conversaciones horizontales entre audiencias y periodistas. En conclusión, puede afirmarse que los medios nativos digitales que realizan periodismo en América Latina están entendiendo poco a poco la lógica digital. Es decir: desarrollar y publicar contenido periodístico en internet permite no sólo reducir costos de impresión y distribución, sino generar otro tipo de dinámicas que le son útiles a los medios, como elevar el debate público, crear comunidades activas y generar mayor incidencia a partir de información periodística de calidad."
