In this article I explore the Half the Sky (HTS) phenomenon, including the documentary shown on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network in 2014. I explore how the girls in whose name the HTS movement exists are represented in relation to Nicholas Kristoff and six celebrity advocates. This analysis foregrounds Global North philanthropy’s discursive use of Global South girls to advance a neoliberal approach that ignores structural forces that account for Global South poverty. The upbeat use of the concept of opportunities interpellates the audience into participating in individualized approaches to rescuing girls. Ultimately girls are spoken for while celebrities gain more exposure and therefore increase their brand recognition.

Determining the nature of television programming during prime time in 1976 as it relates to the depiction of disability was the purpose of this study. Two judges read program descriptions, each being responsible for six months of the programming year. Both judges held graduate degrees in Rehabilitation Counseling and have professional experience in work with various disabilities. Chi-square analyses were performed on network, program type, disability, days of the week, and months of the year. Significant results at p < .01 are reported for network, program type, and disability. The largest frequency of disability-related programs were presented by the Public Broadcasting Service and were news documentaries. Mental illness was depicted most frequently by the private networks, and the largest portion of programming depicting disability is of a dramatized or comedic nature. There is a need for educating viewers on the realities of disability along with entertainment.

From mid-October to mid-November 2013, Australian performance artist Casey Jenkins sat for twenty-eight days in a gallery in Darwin, far North Australia, knitting a scarf from a ball of wool lodged in her vagina. Parts of the performance of Casting Off My Womb were filmed by the public broadcasting service SBS2, and aired in late November 2013 as a two-minute-and-forty-eight-second video clip re-titled Vaginal Knitting. The clip went viral on YouTube, with over seven million views as of March 2016, and received extensive media attention. Casting Off My Womb attracted global public interest because Jenkins continued to knit throughout the days of her period, weaving her menstrual blood into the artwork. The performance elicited strong responses from its global viewing public. While some people praised the work, many online spectators wrote vicious, derisive and personal attacks on Jenkins for displaying her menstrual blood in a public place. This article uses Matthew Goulish's methodology of ‘slow thinking’ as a counterresponse to the impulsive reactions of the online spectators and as a means to register the powerful and incremental energy and effects of Jenkins's feminist performance.

Radio-Québec, or the Office de Radio-Télédiffusion du Québec, was founded by the Quebec government in 1969 as an educational television service. This meant that it was parallel, in some respects, to the Ontario Educational Communications Authority or to the “ETV” stations of the Public Broadcasting Service in the United States. It was also perceived (within Quebec) as an historic affirmation of Quebec's constitutional rights in the field of broadcasting.

State Aid Control

The aim of this study was to analyze the conflicting situation faced by the public broadcasting service (PBS) companies in Germany. However, the paper points to a possible conflicting situation which fails to illustrate the situation that is unique to Germany. Rather, the situation in the online strategies of the public broadcaster is very similar in all European Union member states. The article stresses that the public management of public service broadcasters will have to prove that the online strategies contribute to creating the public value and that they are in compliance with the competition policy and state aid control of the European Union.Key words: digital and Internet economics, media economics, public service broadcasting, European state aid control, public management.Visuomeninio transliavimo paslaugų internetinės strategijos esant įtampai tarp ilgalaikių viešųjų paslaugų ir valstybės pagalbos kontrolėsHardy Gundlach, Ulrich Hofmann   SantraukaStraipsnio autoriai teigia, kad viešas visuomeninio transliavimo paslaugų valdymas atsidūrė prieštaringoje padėtyje. Toks scenarijus tinka viešųjų paslaugų įmonėms ne tik Vokietijoje, bet ir visose Europos Sąjungos šalyse narėse. Kai kurios visuomeninio transliavimo paslaugos iš tiesų skatina internetinės žiniasklaidos naujoves. Tačiau autoriai taip pat pabrėžia, kad visuomeninių transliuotojų vadovybė negali valdyti įmonės taip, lyg ji būtų privati, nes viešųjų paslaugų transliuotojai yra viešosios įstaigos, įsipareigojusios vykdyti konkrečią viešųjų paslaugų funkciją, finansuojamą valstybės lėšomis. Taigi, vadovybė turės pagrįsti, kad internetinės strategijos prisideda prie viešosios vertės kūrimo ir neprieštarauja Europos Sąjungos konkurencijos politikai ir valstybės pagalbos kontrolei. Šiuo metu aktualus TV vaizdo peržiūros internete klausimas. Privatūs transliuotojai skundžiasi, kad visuomeninių transliuotojų transliuotų TV programų peržiūros paslaugos sutrukdys jiems plėtoti mokamų užsakomųjų vaizdo perdavimo paslaugų verslo modelį. Todėl Vokietijos žiniasklaidos politikoje įvestas nustatytas prieinamumo laikotarpis, atsižvelgiant į pasiūlymą ir jo turinį. Ši konkreti nuostata tapo politikos sutvirtinimo elementu.Vis dėlto vadovybė privalo apsvarstyti, kaip visuomeninio transliavimo paslaugos galėtų išlikti tinkamos ateityje. Tai reiškia, kad paslaugos turėtų išlikti patrauklios jaunajai auditorijai. Taigi, svarbiausia yra patrauklios internetinės paslaugos ir ypač užsakomosios vaizdo perdavimo paslaugos.Europos valstybės pagalbos kontrolė yra trečiasis veiksnys, į kurį reikėtų atsižvelgti kuriant sėkmingą strategiją. Todėl naujai internetinei paslaugai įvesti reikia atlikti rinkos poveikio vertinimą. Bet pirmiausia išankstinio vertinimo procedūra turi išaiškinti, kokią viešąją vertę kuria naujoji visuomeninio transliavimo paslauga. Klausimas apie viešąją vertę gali būti atsakytas tik atlikus rinkos poveikio vertinimą. Rinkos tyrimas turėtų atsakyti į klausimą, kokį neigiamą poveikį rinkai turės (jei apskritai turės) naujoji visuomeninio transliavimo internete paslauga. Taikant specialų empirinį hipotetinio monopolisto testą kartu su jungtine (angl. conjoint) analize, galima apskaičiuoti vartotojų emigracijos ar imigracijos mastą dėl produkto požymio (pvz., kainos, kokybės ar kliento paslaugos) lygio pakitimo. Kalbant apie viešųjų paslaugų informacijos portalo atvejį, apskaičiuojamas vartotojų, kurie nesinaudoja internetine paslauga dėl pablogėjusios turinio kokybės, skaičiaus pokytis. Vis dėlto svarbiausia yra viešosios internetinės paslaugos ir jos kokybinio indėlio į redagavimo paslaugų konkurenciją ir visuomenės nuomonės formavimą viešoji vertė. Taigi, privaloma rasti kompromisinį sprendimą.
