"This study explores how news channels from the Global South challenge western narratives by co-producing TV programmes. It focuses on Telesur (Venezuela) and its collaborations with RT (Russia), Al-Mayadeen (Lebanon) and CCTV/CGTN (China). By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, this pap

er examines the structure of these collaborations, the discursive construction of alternative narratives and their contribution to countering hegemonic discourses. The findings show that the efforts to construct counterhegemonic narratives are most evident in the co-productions with RT and Al-Mayadeen. Although the co-production with CGTN focusses on culture, it is nonetheless possible to identify the broadcasters’ distinct ideological agendas." (Abstract)

scape. Analysis of the latest production statistics sits alongside interviews with producers and the critical evaluation of public film policies. The volume incorporates contributions from representatives of major public institutions - Eurimages, the European Audiovisual Observatory and the European Commission - and private production companies including the pan-European Zentropa Group. Policy issues are elucidated through case studies including the Oscar-winning feature film Ida, the BAFTA-winning I am not a Witch and the Danish television serial Ride Upon the Storm. Scholarly articles span co-development, co-distribution and regional cinemas as well as emerging policy challenges such as the digital single market." (Publisher description)

As usual, the Lost Paradise between North and South America had not been high on the agenda. And there was not much hope that these tiny rocks in the Caribbean Sea, scattered over an area the size of Western Europe from the North Cape to Gibraltar, could ever be linked via regional television and included in the global exchange. Still we tried, and we succeeded. This is the story of a very special effort in development aid: "Television in Paradise". (Prologue)

a los contenidos. Se busca y se pretende responder a las necesidades culturales de nuestros pueblos, pero no se siente seguridad en lo que se hace. Esta investigación nos muestra que aún queda mucho camino que recorrer. Pero, para confrontar los resultados de esa investigación, que mejor que dialogar c·on los responsables de los programas de informativos de América Latina, que mejor que escuchar directamente sus opiniones, a fin de validar esos resultados o acaso modificarlos. Precisamente por eso se llevó a cabo la convocatoria a este encuentro, donde cada uno de los presentes representa la experiencia de enfrentar diariamente las ideas con la realidad. Estamos seguros que las ideas expuestas por los participantes en el seminario de directores de informativos de televisión, cuyas exposiciones y participación en los diferentes foros, contribuirán a un mayor y mejor comprensión del fenómeno de la comunicación por televisión en América Latina."
