The working group “More airtime for the independent scene in public service media” was set up at the plenary session on May 22, 2017.
- Objective:
Measurably increase the media presence of the independent scene (e.g. in 2018 compared to 2017)
Set up broadcasting slots if not already available / more broadcasting time (quantitatively more)
New formats (qualitatively more, e.g. features)
Increase & consolidate expertise among those responsible for FS - Time frame:
by mid-June: make inquiries with personal contacts of the WG participants
By mid-July: Develop battle plan based on initial discussions / further contacts / which topics to address / develop resources
(Public) events on the topic (1st kick-off VA took place as part of the 2018 Performing Arts Festival), more are planned for 2019
Overall timeframe: approx. end of 2019 - Working method
Arouse enthusiasm for FS: cross-disciplinary, depict FS in its entirety, rich cultural life that is of global significance, we want to help find better access to it; give editors the chance to discover it themselves/be creative themselves
Discussions with responsible editors, program managers
Find an expert from FS for AG for each area; should name/identify suitable contacts and determine the status quo
List resources (links to FS event pages from different sections etc.)
Possibly: Scouts/board of trustees/committee for constant exchange and increasing competence
