The paper contains a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the news services of the three largest broadcasters and three events essential for the functioning of the state and public life in Poland. The first one was the amendment to the Supreme Court Act of July 2017. The second event was the local elections campaign in Poland (broadcasts aired on the 18th of October 2018, the last but one day of the elections campaign), while the third set of material were the news items on the murder of the Mayor of Gdańsk – Paweł Adamowicz (broadcasts aired on the 15th of January 2019, one day after the tragic event). The analysis focused on the evening news editions by the three most popular broadcasters with the highest viewership, including commercial stations (i.e. TVN’s Fakty and Polsat’s Wydarzenia) and the public broadcaster (i.e. the Polish Television’s Wiadomości). In total, 43 news items of 2 hours, 20 minutes and 6 seconds were analysed. The study has revealed a clear polarisation of news content coming from the licensed broadcasters and the public service broadcaster.

The Egyptian public broadcaster, newly named the National Media Council (NMC), has been under pressure to undergo comprehensive restructuring. Many changes have taken place recently to enable this transformation. Through analysing financial reports, evaluating the new regulatory framework and conducting in-depth interviews, this study examines the likelihood of the NMC adapting to the recent changes and the extent to which the new regulatory framework promotes a public service system suggesting a model for implementation. Findings show that the NMC must respond to four main challenges: lack of strategic vision and identity, a centralized regime power structure, an acute financial deficit, and a weak digital presence. Interviewees evaluated the new regulatory framework as inexhaustive with an intention to maintain grip on power. Interviewees proposed an integrated decentralized model that combines the public service mission with private partnership.

Third sector employees have claimed to enjoy high job satisfaction and low turnover intentions because their work is considered intrinsically rewarding. Employees have strong motivation for public service and they consider the organization’s goals as their own. This makes work meaningful and thus reduces turnover intentions. Changes in the third sector institutional environment, however, have intensified the working environment. This probably undermines job quality and thus increases turnover intentions. The analysis conducted among Finnish third sector employees showed that third sector employees report more turnover intentions than their counterparts in the public or private sector. This is mostly because of low job quality. Motivation for public service was not enough to retain employees in the organization if their values were not congruent with those of the employer organization. Thus, connection between public service motivation and turnover intentions is dependent on the organizational context. More important than employees’ desire to help others is their sharing of the employer organization’s values and that the organization provides high job quality.

AbstractThere were 1525 applications for asylum in the Czech Republic in 2015, and 71 people were granted asylum. Despite this fact migration was the most covered topic in the Czech media (especially television news services) in 2015. The discussed events were labelled as a wave or flood and were framed as a crisis, threat, and risk not only by the journalists but by politicians as well. This paper is based on quantitative and qualitative research on migration and war refugees from August 17, 2015 to September 18, 2015 in six news programmes of the public service broadcaster, namely the Czech Radio. It is a qualitative case study of the program

Public broadcasting is traditionally thought to be an essential element to public spheres. This paper charts how this relationship is formed, and then demonstrates how it is threatened in the Canadian context. Canada’s public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has digital policies like Strategy 2020: A Space for Us All which suggests CBC is pivoting away from its relationship with the public sphere, and in some ways weakening the Canadian public sphere. Accordingly, this paper looks at the claims charged about this policy, particularly from Taylor (2016), and considers how it and similar digital policies affect the CBC as an element of the Canadian public sphere. While the paper finds CBC digital policies benefit the public sphere, the majority put into action hinder CBC’s relationship to the Canadian public sphere. Overall, this MRP highlights the importance of considering the philosophy of the public sphere when developing public media policy.

Public Television and Identification: Flemish citizens with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Evidence from family research Public Television and Identification: Flemish citizens with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Evidence from family research This article outlines how the Flemish public broadcaster VRT is perceived by 25 in-depth interviewed families with Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds. Our analysis shows that, compared to other channels, VRT is perceived of great value when it comes to current affairs, children’s programs and news, but not fiction. Indispensable elements of identification within the de facto diversified Flemish social context are lacking, according to our informants. Criticisms voiced by our informants do not always result from ‘ethnic’ or ‘religious’ identifications. Especially subaltern groups (non-believers, young people, women) do not feel represented. Criticisms bear on the definition of functional quality as provided in the public-service contract: language use, perceived quality, the extent to which the program supply is (not or hardly) meeting their needs. Consequently, a wider approach, applying both the diversity charter and the public-service contract to minority audiences, is being advocated.

<p><strong>CONCURSOS PÚBLICOS E A TORMENTOSA QUESTÃO DO EXAME PSICOTÉCNICO COMO CONDIÇÃO PARA INGRESSO NO SERVIÇO PÚBLICO </strong></p><p><strong>Resumo:</strong> A Constituição Federal de 1988 passou a determinar a realização de concurso público para provimento de cargos da Administração Direta e Indireta, no intuito de tornar a atividade administrativa mais impessoal e eficiente. Alguns concursos públicos apresentam como fase de avaliação do certame, além de provas ou de provas e títulos, expressos na Constituição, a aprovação em exame psicotécnico. O artigo em apresentação questiona a legalidade desse teste, utilizado como etapa eliminatória na seleção do concurso público, apontando sua falibilidade e seu caráter eminentemente subjetivo e transitório. Analisa a jurisprudência dominante do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça que admitem a legalidade do exame psicotécnico como requisito para ingresso no serviço público desde que o certame atenda a três exigências: a previsão dos testes em lei formal que regulamenta o cargo pretendido, o estabelecimento de critérios objetivos no edital, e a expressa possibilidade de recurso quanto ao resultado do exame. Compreende, com lastro em jurisprudência recente, e apoiado em argumentação explicitada, ser ilegal a exigência de estabelecimento de atendimento a perfil profissiográfico prévio, devendo ser utilizado apenas para identificar a sanidade mental do candidato. Entende, ainda, que o estabelecimento de uma nova regra de capacidade administrativa não se coaduna com a Constituição Federal e com os comandos do Código Civil, estatuto da personalidade civil do cidadão. Defende, por fim, que os exames psicotécnicos, e um conjunto de testes e avaliações psicológicas deverão ser aplicados em fase posterior, monitorando o servidor em estágio probatório e subsidiando a Administração no correto trato e cuidado com o servidor, muitas vezes exposto a situações de extremo perigo e risco, especialmente em carreiras com funções policiais.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chaves:</strong> Concurso Público.

An example of this is the public exam institute, which acquired strength and concreteness after the 1988 Constitution. Based on the principles pointed in its text, the Constitution has required the public exam like a requisite to the admission at the Public Administration, as a way to make public service more impersonal and efficient. Some public exams also demand a psychometric exam approval, besides the written test and the titles test, expressed in the Constitution. It is understood that illegal test is required and used as a stage round in the tender selection for its unreliability and the fact that demand has put on highly subjective character. Such an understanding is not compatible with the understanding of the higher courts. The Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Justice admit the legality of the psychometric exam as an assessment requirement for entry into the public service since the event meets three demands, under penalty of nullity of the contract, they are: demand forecasting tests in formal law regulating the desired position, which has objective character and that will expressed in the tender notice the possibility of action about the test result.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Constitutionality.

Abstract: Public service broadcasting's purpose, the object of much debate in South Africa, may be defined as the provision of a universal service of excellent programming while maintaining public legitimacy through an editorial independence from both the government of the day and commercial interests. Since the 1980s, the global media landscape has undergone fundamental changes. Most of the dynamics which today plague public broadcasting are of international import, and the direct result of the intervention of the global economic order. Public service broadcasting must be carried out within the means available to the public broadcaster, and so it is at this point, when the pragmatism of limited financial means meets with the idealism of an all-encompassing mandate, that public service broadcasting's late-twentieth-century contradictions become apparent. This paper tracks this paradox across the re-launch and transformation of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) from a state broadcaster serving the interests of largely "white,'' "coloured,'' and "Indian'' middle classes to a public broadcaster mandated to better serve the country's 11 official language communities. Résumé: Ce que peut être le but de la radiodiffusion publique est une question qui suscite bien des discussions en Afrique du Sud. On peut néanmoins définir ce but comme étant à la fois l'offre d'un service universel de programmation excellente et le maintien d'une légitimité publique en conservant une indépendance éditoriale par rapport au gouvernement au pouvoir et aux intérêts commerciaux. Depuis les années quatre-vingt, l'environnement médiatique global a subi des changements fondamentaux. La plupart des dynamiques qui aujourd'hui influent sur la radiodiffusion publique sont de provenance internationale, le résultat direct de l'intervention de l'ordre économique global. Dans un tel environnement, le radiodiffuseur public ne peut qu'utiliser les moyens à sa disposition pour offrir ses services. C'est à ce stade, quand le pragmatisme des moyens financiers limités confronte l'idéalisme d'un mandat trés vaste, que les contradictions de la radiodiffusion publique au vingtième siécle deviennent évidentes. Cet article examine ce paradoxe en décrivant l'exemple de la relance et de la transformation du South African Broadcasting Corporation (la SABC, c'est-à-dire La Société de radiodiffusion sud-africaine). Originairement un radiodiffuseur d'État servant principalement les classes moyennes blanches, métisses et indiennes, la SABC est devenue un radiodiffuseur public dont le mandat est de mieux servir les onze communautés linguistiques officielles du pays.

What to do in a third term? The platform of six years ago is almost all legislated for and under way – or out of reach. So is it time to rest or retire the policy wonks? Not if the policy wonks are in the public service. A third term is when they come into their own. As one senior minister puts it: “By the third term we have become experienced at government”. A loose translation might be: a government really only gets to know the machinery and demands and techniques of government after two terms.
