TV across Europe: Follow-up Reports 2008
The original set of 'TV Across Europe' reports on 20 countries was released between October 2005 and May 2006, and covered developments up until the summer of 2005. They have become a reference in many countries, being widely used in universities and by policy makers.
Since then, however, there have been major changes in the audiovisual field in many countries, involving significant developments with respect to many of the areas monitored.
EUMAP is therefore publishing a set of nine general country updates of its monitoring on Television across Europe, to cover key developments since the release of the original set of reports. This follow-up monitoring is being undertaken on the basis of an updated version of the initial reporting methodology, and where possible by the country reporters involved in the original monitoring.
The TV across Europe Follow-up Reports 2008 cover 9 of the 20 countries included in the original monitoring, namely Albania; Bulgaria; the Czech Republic; Italy; Lithuania; Poland; the Republic of Macedonia; Romania; and Slovakia.
These countries were selected because there have been significant changes in the broadcasting landscape that merit follow-up monitoring.
An international overview of the TV Across Europe Follow-up Reports will be published following the completion of the full set of country reports.
Each country update is published here as PDF file as soon as it is completed - the reports that have been published so far are linked in below. All country updates will be published in Spring-Summer 2008.
Once the international overview report is published, it will appear on the Publication order form on the EUMAP website, if you prefer to receive a copy through the mail.
Note: EUMAP will also publish a set of special reports on the impact of new technologies and services, which will significantly expand on the information on contained in the first series of reports in order to take account of recent developments, especially in the field of digitalisation.
