Quem se mete com Miguel Relvas, demite-se...

É um erro a Comissão de Trabalhadores da RTP pedir a demissão de Miguel Relvas. Sempre que isso aconteceu ou que alguém afrontou o ministro, o resultado foi o seguinte:
1) Rosa Mendes diz que foi despedido duas vezes em cinco meses por Miguel Relvas;
2) Governo confirma demissão de adjunto de Relvas;
3) Maria José Oliveira, jornalista do Público, demite-se;
4) Professor que deu 90% do curso a Miguel Relvas pediu demissão;
5) Administração da RTP demitiu-se e Relvas aceitou.
Percebem porque o PS não quer a demissão de Relvas - e não é por Seguro ser amigo do mesmo, é que até ele pode acabar demitido...

U.S. Arms Sales Make Up Most of Global Market: Weapons sales by the United States tripled in 2011 to a record high, driven by major arms sales to Persian Gulf allies concerned about Iran’s regional ambitions, according to a new study for Congress. Overseas weapons sales by the United States totaled $66.3 billion last year, or more than three-quarters of the global arms market, valued at $85.3 billion in 2011. Russia was a distant second, with $4.8 billion in deals.

Serviço público de televisão


MISSÃO, OBJECTIVOS E OBRIGAÇÕES DE SERVIÇO PÚBLICO que, "apesar de ter uma evidente importância económica, não é comparável a um serviço público prestado noutros sectores da economia".

PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING (PSB): What, then, stated positively, is public service broadcasting? As the name itself intimates, public service broadcasting is broadcasting
- made for the public
- financed by the public
- controlled by the public.

Accountability in Public Service Broadcasting: The Evolution of Promises and Assessments: For public service broadcasting, being independent from the government is fundamental.

Serviço público de radiodifusão: um estudo de direito comparado: existe um grupo de ameaças ao sucesso das emissoras publicamente mantidas e financiadas. A primeira dessas ameaças está nas tentativas em curso em muitos países onde as autoridades governamentais buscam exercer o controle sobre essas emissoras, minando a sua independência e a qualidade das notícias e da programação. [...] Uma segunda ameaça é o constante desejo que os governos têm de realizar cortes orçamentários, o que resulta em uma crescente pressão pela redução no nível de financiamento público recebido pelas emissoras públicas e, como consequência, na busca por fontes alternativas de financiamento.

Public Service Broadcasting: A Comparative Legal Survey: Three conditions are necessary for public service broadcasters to fulfil their mandate in the public interest. First, the independence of public service broadcasters must be guaranteed through appropriate structures such as pluralistic and independent governing boards. Second, public service broadcasters must be guaranteed funding which is adequate to serve the needs and interests of the public, and to promote the free flow of information and ideas. Third, public service broadcasters must be directly accountable to the public, especially as regard the discharge of their missions and the use of public resources.

Public Service Broadcasting – A Fragile, Yet Durable Construction: even the most avid Free Market Liberals are apparently beginning to have second thoughts about the notion of privatizing public service radio and television. We see this in Sweden and throughout the European Union. Several years of ”policy field experiments” have shown that one cannot treat public service radio and television like a shoe factory. Radio and television in the service of the public are at once societal and cultural institutions.
We must not lose sight of the fact that television today is the largest theatre, the most influential source of news, the prime entertainer, and the largest educational institution in the country. It has become the national stage and the national forum for information and debate. To what extent television will continue to hold this position, and not be reduced to solely an entertainment medium, is intimately bound up with the fate of the public service companies.

Public Service Broadcasting Matters: With the [New Zealand] Government stopping funding of TVNZ 7 we join Mexico as the only country outside the OECD without public service broadcasting.

Alex Salmond calls for new public service broadcaster in Scotland: The first minister said that “television forms part of our wider vision for an independent Scotland to be a fairer and more prosperous nation”. “Only then will broadcasting truly be Scotland’s window on the world – bringing us the best of international content and allowing us to show the world what Scotland can create,” he said.

Public Service Broadcasting: Proud past, interesting future? Public broadcasting was understood as government owned TV stations, to be used, as in many socialist regimes, as state information agencies. The result was inevitable: nobody watched the government stations...

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING: the defence of PSB is nowadays the defence of one element in a mixed system of broadcasting provision. Unlike certain other kinds of case in which placing limits on the market may be proposed, what is being argued for is not the prohibition of commercial provision, but its being accompanied by public provision. It is the retention of this dual system that has been challenged by advocates of marketisation, arguing that broadcasting should become an exclusively commercial activity, though possibly subject to certain forms of regulation.

Some Reflections on Public Service Broadcasting: However, in the political controversy that arose in conjunction with “deregulation”, when the position of publicly owned media was called into question, the concept of public service broadcasting suddenly assumed such strategic importance that the question of what it actually stood for was left aside. In the context of media policy, ’public service’ was regarded almost exclusively as an institutional concern, and the problem raised was how best to legitimize publicly owned media, which, for political reasons, one wished to preserve. Consequently, it is virtually impossible to deal with the public service concept without also considering the fairly complicated political context surrounding it. [...]
The greatest threat public service media face is rather that they, themselves, in their eagerness to survive on a market that really has no use for them, will dig their own graves. For that reason it is vital that we make up our minds as to whether public service broadcasting shall continue to be counted among the objects of cultural policy, to be sustained despite market pressures, or whether it should continue to adapt to those pressures.

Reinventing public service broadcasting in Europe: prospects, promises and problems: Digitization offers yet another challenge for PSBs, since non-linear viewing habits will grow gradually. Nevertheless, the attempts of commercial competitors to limit public service broadcasting  to  the  old, analogue channels have not been successful and PSBs have a good chance of becoming trusted brands in the new ocean of news, information and opinions offered by ICTs.
The new context of public service broadcasting has an impact on all of its operations. Much more than in the past, PSBs have to legitimize their existence, both in terms of positive and explicit political and cultural purposes, and as a compensation for the market failure of private partners. [...]
Some fear that the current European public broadcasting systems will converge towards a more limited, liberal model; others believe that European diversity in media systems will continue to exist in the information society. Most important, however, is that the European concept of PSB – as a universal and comprehensive service, reflecting Europe’s cultural diversity, and independent from both the state and the market – will still be able to be put into practice throughout Europe. Only under those circumstances can European public service media remain a prominent institution and a successful content provider boosting Europe’s creative economy, and even be a model for the rest of the world.

Radical new proposals to protect long term future of Public Service Broadcasting: “In light of recent controversies, there have been questions raised about the standards of Public Service Broadcasting in Ireland. This Bill seeks to introduce measures aimed at restoring citizens' confidence in broadcasting. One such measure is the provision requiring broadcasters to provide interviewees with an unedited copy of any pre-recorded interviews, after broadcasting, which the interviewee is permitted to publish as they see fit. In an age of 'citizen journalism', it moves to restore some influence to the citizen in the balance of power with national broadcasters.

Public service broadcasting: a new beginning, or the beginning of the end?  to guarantee that the emerging information society is one where citizens can rely on a media system, at least in part, that serves them.

Miguel Relvas e o serviço público de TV

24.Agosto.2012 - Miguel Relvas às voltas com a RTP: Miguel Relvas afirmou ser "inquestionável a existência do serviço público". "Vai existir. Tem é de ser reformulado", afirmou, em Julho

10.Abril.2012 - Relvas avisa televisões: ou se entendem ou ficam à mercê dos anunciantes: Sobre o futuro do canal público de televisão, o ministro Adjunto e dos Assuntos Parlamentares reafirma a disposição de privatizar um dos canais generalistas até ao fim do ano. “Vamos alienar um canal. Será no fim deste ano”, assegura, sem avançar qual das licenças (RTP1 ou 2) vai ser alienada.

4.Abril.2012 - Relvas muda lei para vender RTP: Miguel Relvas esclareceu que o Governo vai "alienar uma licença, não o serviço público de televisão". "Vamos ter um bom canal de serviço público", garantiu.

2.Abril.2012 - RTP e Lusa fazem bom serviço público: Para o ministro as administrações da RTP e da Lusa estão a fazer um bom trabalho. "A RTP e a Lusa tiveram resultados operacionais positivos. Ambas estão a ser bem geridas e os profissionais sentem-se estimulados. Portanto, são duas empresas que estão em reestruturação. Estão bem e recomendam-se. Estão a fazer um bom serviço público", afirmou Miguel Relvas.

6.Março.2012 - Miguel Relvas recusa que quebra de audiências da RTP prejudique a privatização: "O serviço público não é refém das audiências; é sim condicionado pela qualidade. É essa a exigência - a da qualidade - que se deve fazer a um órgão de comunicação social que é pago com os impostos dos portugueses."

11.Janeiro.2012 - Miguel Relvas: "Não há compradores pré-anunciados" da RTP: sobre interesses obscuros na intenção do Governo privatizar uma frequência da RTP, Miguel Relvas garantiu: "Asseguro a este Parlamento que o processo de alienação, que ainda não se iniciou, se pautará por critérios de isenção e de absoluta clareza de procedimentos, que afinal, permitem ao Estado e aos contribuintes terem a certeza de que o interesse público foi acautelado".
O ministro Adjunto e dos Assuntos Parlamentares assegurou ainda que "não há, como nunca poderia haver, compradores pré-anunciados e tudo o que se disser sobre essa matéria releva apenas do foro da pura especulação e demagogia política". Miguel Relvas afirmou também que "ao promover a alienação da licença de exploração de um dos canais generalistas da RTP, o Governo está não apenas a racionalizar recursos que são de todos nós, mas também a alargar o espectro das possibilidades comunicativas e, por essa via, a amadurecer e a aprofundar o pluralismo".

20.Dezembro.2011 - 'Informação será privilegiada na futura RTP', Miguel Relvas: «A informação é uma componente a privilegiar no novo modelo, seja no canal generalista da televisão pública que emitirá após o processo de alienação da licença de exploração de um dos canais actuais, seja na RTP Informação, sem dependência de publicidade comercial no primeiro caso», indicou Miguel Relvas [...] Relvas deixou expresso que «o serviço público justifica-se não em virtude de um qualquer impulso concorrencial ou conflitual mas, antes, pela aposta num registo de qualidade, de pluralismo e de diversidade assente numa boa oferta complementar».

28.Novembro.2011 - Miguel Relvas: Qualidade da RTP "dá muito medo à concorrência": Em relação às críticas do PS relativamente à oneração que os contribuintes estarão sujeitos pela reformulação do serviço público, Relvas disse não compreender os argumentos usados pois [foram os] anteriores governos a aumentar as taxas do serviço.

13.Dezembro.2010 - Miguel Relvas quer rigor na reestruturação de empresas públicas de media: «Entendemos que todas as reformas e reestruturações em empresas que são públicas e que envolvem dinheiros que têm origem nos impostos dos contribuintes não podem ser feitas à socapa, têm de ser muito rigorosas e feitas com muita seriedade, deve ser pública toda a estratégia e estudos envolvidos», disse Miguel Relvas

O custo de um logótipo

The Cost Of A Logo: Of course, the worth of a logo is a famously hard thing to determine. The very fact that a simple or low-key design often works far better than something intricate or brightly coloured means traditional methods for calculating how much to charge - using things like time and experience - are often thrown out the window. As such, some of the most famous logos of all time have been commissioned for next to nothing, while astronomical sums have been paid for designs most people wouldn't think about twice

Podemos voltar ao que interessa?

Um pouco de cronologia: o Público ontem revelou que “Grupo angolano cria empresa para comprar canal da RTP”. A notícia mal chega a ter impacto porque, à tarde, o Sol (detido por capitais angolanos) noticia que “Governo concessiona RTP1 e fecha RTP2” e, à noite na TVI, o assessor do primeiro-ministro, António Borges, fala de como o governo está interessado na solução que o Sol iria noticiar hoje - mas ressalvando que "há vários cenários em cima da mesa". Esta manhã, um assessor do ministro Miguel Relvas - mas não o ministro que tutela a comunicação social… - diz que é uma hipótese que pode permitir “ao Governo «reduzir os encargos públicos» com a estação de televisão, garantindo a «propriedade pública»”. O parceiro da coligação governamental CDS desmarca-se de tudo isto, com o ministro Pedro Mota Soares a comentar na SIC que não comenta assessores e comentadores mas a explicar que o assunto ainda não foi tratado ao nível do governo. (Nota: esta solução é contrária ao que o PSD defendeu no seu programa eleitoral e à que está inscrita no programa do Governo.)
Perante isto tudo (e ainda falta o Expresso amanhã…), resta uma pequena questão: na introdução da peça do Público de ontem, na versão em papel, é dito que, “No mercado, a estratégia parece ser lançar versões contraditórias sobre o interesse angolano numa frequência da RTP”. Não está na altura do responsável da comunicação social em Portugal dar a cara e esclarecer se há ou não “versões contraditórias”, se tudo se encaminha para a solução “um canal, um grupo, uma concessão de serviço público” ou se tudo não passa de uma estratégia para aumentar o valor da venda/concessão. Ou, de uma forma mais simples, se o governo tem ou não uma estratégia para a comunicação social no país.
[actualização: a RTP "está já preparada para viver sem a indemnização compensatória, transferida do Orçamento de Estado, e apenas com as receitas comerciais e com a taxa audiovisual, que no cenário avançado por António Borges será entregue ao privado que ficar com a concessão", diz Hugo Andrade, responsável pela programação da RTP.]

Quem beneficiou do euro?


Greece, Portugal and Spain really have benefitted most from the euro: What stand out are Greece, Portugal and Spain. These economies have benefited from increased standards of living under the Euro (at least, until 2010), as nominal incomes have overcome inflation pressures. There has also been a concentration on improving the lot of the lower income groups in these societies.

Realmente, "É o país que temos, que mais se pode dizer". Pode sempre acrescentar-se alguma coisinha: estão muito bem uns para os outros...

Métricas e impacto do jornalismo

Metrics, metrics everywhere: How do we measure the impact of journalism? If democracy would be poorer without journalism, then journalism must have some effect. Can we measure those effects in some way? While most news organizations already watch the numbers that translate into money (such as audience size and pageviews), the profession is just beginning to consider metrics for the real value of its work.

Call it remote viewing, if you're a sci-fi type, but "television" has until very recently meant one thing only: It's a one-way window into another world. That's very swiftly about to change.
