Broadcasting and national identity in Ireland

Article Abstract:

Irish media policy's aims have changed from fostering an autonomous state founded on traditional Catholic values to developing a more democratic, more commercial and less protected broadcasting community. Irish broadcasting started in the public sector and was tied to the government's desire to promote Irish culture after independence from Britain. The influx of foreign television programs beginning in the 1960s, the advent of indigenous commercial television in the 1970s, the changing dynamics of rural and urban politics and new public demands transformed Irish broadcasting's mission.

Globalization and policy choice: television and audiovisual services in India

Article Abstract:

India's television and audiovisual services policies have undergone rapid, liberalizing changes allowing the state a key role in the broadcasting industries and depleting the strength of public service broadcasting freedoms. As the Indian government works to maintain the status of national broadcaster Doordarshan by setting policies which enhance business deals with rival media enterprises the state effectively controls its national media. Increased nationalist and commercial uses of the media leave little room for public and community service broadcasts.

Audiovisual policy and cultural identity in small European states: the challenge of a unified market

Article Abstract:

Small European nations must adopt national audiovisual policies aimed at preserving their own unique cultures. The increase in program choices, and especially in imported programs, has fragmented national audiences and diluted local culture. While the European Community's 'Television Without Frontiers' policy has protectionist language, it carries no legal weight. Therefore, the smaller nations of Europe must protect themselves through their own policies.
