EAVI Lauching Conference: Session 2 |
Advancing the European Viewers Interests Lucca, Italy 22-23 October 2004
According to the EAVI research, media “accountability”, “responsibility”, “responsiveness – or simply “transparency” – are concepts that are entering into the political agenda of many European countries. Broadcasters, regulators or self-regulated bodies are improving the formal and informal procedures used for listening to audiences interests and informing them about their activities: they are taking audiences into “account”. These are good news because, by this way, citizens are able to participate more effectively in the decision making process and to monitor media performances. Nevertheless, the European picture is highly fragmented and in the majority of the European countries the news are not always very good. The aim of the session is to portrait these differences, to locate “best practices” and to discuss how to expand, in Europe, their adoption.
