Strong Public Values in a Global Economy
Celebrating the United Nations Public Services Day, UNI MEI Global Union issues the electronic version of its Manifesto on Independent and High Quality Public Service Broadcasting.
This manifesto is addressed to governments, regional authorities, management of public broadcasters, the public and all media workers. Independent and high quality Public Service Broadcasting is essential for freedom of speech, freedom of information as well as for the decision making of the citizens in a democratic functioning society. Public service broadcasters also have a central role in producing programmes in all media, which refect the rich cultural diversity of societies.
A sustainable Public Service Broadcasting with high quality services depends on a skilled workforce beneftting from good working conditions. This implies fair remuneration for creators and other media workers, adequate work- life balance arrangements, respect of health and safety standards, and continuous investment in skills of all workers. Good working conditions are key for sustaining a highly skilled workforce and the ability of public broadcasters to produce high quality programmes.
